ode to inspiration >> update

at the right, i've added a list of my top musical influences. i meant to do a "Top 5" but then realized i left out a band. since music is one of the most important things in my life, these are the bands that have essentially made me who i am (be that a good thing or bad.) some of them, i don't listen to as much these days, but at some point they altered (inspired) my life. and, yes, there are a ton of other bands i could list, but that would be a huge list.
