Cool list! Some of these must have been very indirect influences of mine, since I've never heard of them ;-) Bekah made a Pandora station based on them all though, so I expect I will get to share in your discoveries shortly ;-)
Well, as you know, Zach, there were several of these groups that you did specifically bring to my attention. And those suggestions led to a number of other discoveries, some of which we have talked about. The truth is that sharing these interests with you is one of the things that I most enjoy about this music. That's why I credit you, indirectly, even when I discover something new that you've never heard of. Knowing that I can have the pleasure of introducing you to something I've found is a big part of the fun.
Anyway, I hope that you and Bekah enjoy some of these Eurekas, too.
