Hehe dunno about influe-ouential but I like the following a lot:

1. (Les) Rita Mitsouko - yup, them's from Paris

2. Rammstein - From East Berlin
3. Radiohead - Well known and bloody brilliant

That being said, I also adore Muse, Led Zep, The Doors, Queen, Hawkwind, Frank Zappa and many more.

Don't like KISS though, al this facade stuff Nor death metal or speed metal.  Music needs some melody and a tad of drama.

Evidently, since I'm an oldish git some of these bands are 'blasts from the past'
