My Inspiration - bands etc

Of course, my ispiration is God; but He gives us inspiration by more immediate means. My music was & is influenced by a multitude of bands & artists, but I narrowed it down to a few, because most would not recognize some of them. These are the top 7 artists that most people my age would recognize that shaped some of my own music: ManOwaR, Ronnie James Dio, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Judas Priest, Styx, Jimi Hendrix. I left out the Christian bands, because only Christian metalheads would know them anyway, lol !!
