Top 5 musical influences

Posted on by

Joel Klampert recently blogged about some of the musicians who have influenced him musically.

I thought I would participate in the community effort to share influences.

Before I dole out my 5, I think it is important to note (pun intended) that I didn’t grow up “radically saved”.

In high school (My BC days) my influences were as follows:

1. Primus
2. Mr. Bungle
3. Faith No More
4. Anything by Danny Elfman
5. Red Hot Chili Peppers

So my influences after being “born again” would be as follows:

1. Paul Baloche
2. Hillsong United
3. David Chapin – super encouraging brother who went on to be with the Lord in 2006
4. Matt Redman
5. David Crowder Band
