who influenced them? im thinking buzzcocks, the who, that palestinian guy nassuare fat ali khan or something the guy on face of love, neil young, and thats all i can think of now but there are more.

also i've heard people say that led zepplin influenced them how may i ask? i hate zepplin personally.

    Each member has their own influences.

    Ed (as most of us know and as you mentioned already) was/is big into the Who (or anything Pete Townshend did), Ramones, Beatles, Buzzcocks, and Fugazi...among others.

    Here is a list of the "13 records that changed Eddie's life"
    Jackson 5
    Beatles "White Album"
    The Who "Tommy"
    Ramones "Road to Ruin"
    Talking Heads "More Songs About Buildings and Food"
    Various Artists "Music and Rhythm"
    Sonic Youth "Daydream Nattion"
    Jim O'Rourke "Insignificance"
    Fugazi "13 Songs"
    Soundgarden "Screming Life/FOPP"
    Mudhoney
    Tom Waits "Nighthawks at the Diner"
    Pixies "Surfer Rosa"

    Mike was into Hendrix, the Stones, Led Zep, Kiss, Aerosmith, UFO, and a lot of hair/metal bands.


    btw, how can you hate Zeppelin?

    that's interesting that you say that. I heard nothing but positive reviews of Robert Plant opening for the Who. I was actually bummed when the Counting Crowes opened for the Who when i saw them that tour, oh well.

    But yeah, Zep and Plant's solo work aren't comparable.
