Who inspires you musically?

Lupe Fiasco, an underground hip-hop artist whose music inspires my drive. He deserves more credibility, his lyrics are all well thought-out, and he puts his soul into music.

You might recognize him from his hit "Superstar" with Matthew Santos.

Koji Kondo.
He's awesome, next to Maruthi something or other.
The guy that composed music for Paper Mario....I think....?
He also did some of the Mario Galaxy soundtrack, though Koji Kondo is the more well known one, probably because he's composed for probably all the most famous mario games.

Yes, I forgot those :S . I have the complete Majora's Mask Soundtrack. His work on Majora's Mask was amazing.
 
Rise Against. They have awesome music, with a real message and purpose, unlike most more popular artists these days.

While most of the music is hardcore punk, they have some really good acoustic songs, and some slower songs. They cover a broad variety of kinds of music, with all different kinds of messages, from problems with the environment to war to having your heart snapped in two.

The band members are also admirable people themselves. They're all vegan, they support PETA, and most of them are straight-edge. In fact, they're probably the biggest influence in my decision to live a straight-edge life myself.
 
Prince really inspires me to get up and go for a campy 80s sound with a mix of funk and mad guitar solos. Also techno artists like She, Mr.Simon, and Rennard help too.

There's empowerment in good music.
