Bands I like, full list:, Influences, My favorite styles have always been Guitar Bands, Hard Rock, Metal, Hard Core, Noise, Emo – Space Rock Guitar Noise, even Classical acoustic guitar. Anything with a good Guitar Player and of course Lyrics that make you think or at least smile... For me, it all started with Elvis (thats right, Elvis Rocked!:), The Mamma's and the Pappas's, Peter Paul & Mary, The Man in Black - Johnny Cash (I hear that train a comin), Roy Orbison (Pretty Woman), The Byrds, Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, Lynerd Skynerd, Eric Clapton (back when he rocked;), Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Grand Funk, Joe Walsh, Edger Winter, Yes, The Who, Guess Who, Boston, David Boey (and the Spiders form Mars;), Queen, (How old am I? Well, maybe just Too Old to Rock n Roll, but much to Young to Die) yep, Jethro Tull. And when I decided to Renew My Mind (Romans 12:2) I moved right on to Keith Green, Pat Terry, Don Fransisco, Rez Band, Petra, Blood Good, White Cross, Lightforce, Recon. Tempest, Guardian, Striper, The Choir, Alter Boys, Mike Roe, MATW (Mad at the World), Steve Taylor, One Bad Pig, Eric Champion (after his Transformation or should I say the album called...)

Hmmm, I like allot of the new (almost hard core but more commercial) Bands out now on the radio. I must admit, I have become lazy now that we have a local Christian Rock Station (89.7 Power FM, thanks Chris:). I haven't learned the names of allot of the bands that I like on the Radio now, since I don't mix shows and actually meet the bands... Or is it that I'm just getting old and can't actually remember:O So, where was i?;) Yep, I'm an old Metal head, but I like allot of different styles of music too. I have always loved female vocalist and song writers like, Joni Mitchel, Carrol King, Jefferson Air Plane (Gracy Slick started it all...), Heart, Margret Becker (ever noticed the similarity in vocal sound, back when she rocked... jk, Margaret still Rocks:), Leslie Phillips (aka Sam Phillips), Kim Hill, Leigh Benjamin Nash (Six Pence), The Clergy (Chris Simonatti... this girl Rocks!), 65db, World Wide Message Tribe, Sarah Masen, Christine Glass, The Benjamin Gate, Animal Couch (where are you?), Miss Angie and there are so many now that I have found on ShoutLife, DittyTalk, MySpace, Podsafe Music Network and BTPodShow and..., I could go on all night... But I wouln't:) All these Artists have influenced me in my Writing and Vocal styles and by Inspiring me to try and be as creative as they are and give my art back to God, the one who gave it to me in the first place:) And the True Artist, the Creator of all Creation!:), , Marty's Bands;), Marty - Guardian, Guardian, Guardian, Oh, Mmmm... did I mention...
