Tom Waits
Willy Mason
Beck (pre-Sea Change)
Conor Oberst + Bright Eyes
All are country or blues styled, which is just what I grew up with and it feels like a 'home' music for me, so it's easy to write music under the influence of those artists. Obviously Tom Waits is really far out into his jazz and industrial stuff, Beck is into his Hip Pop, Willy Mason and Conor Oberst both have more pop sensibilities in their songs. It all comes out, I guess.
I've never tried writing anything other than country / blues / pop. I've messed about with noise but I don't think I'm approaching it from the right angle, people are too nazi with it so I'll just let it be.
