Top 3 (yes you have to choose 3) who changed the way you felt about music in a positive way. For me it would be:
The Velvet Underground
Pink Floyd
The Clash |

Glasgow |
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

Perhaps not strictly bands in comparison to some of the others mentioned but that's what I'm going with.

Hard choice:
(In truth it was Why can't this be love by Van Halen that's started on the slippery slope, but that's too embarrassing).
The cult
The almighty
New Model Army |

As a wannabe muso it was really hard to choose but at this moment it's still....
Fleetwood Mac
Motorhead
Del Amitri
There's some real life stories in there and a healthy dose of sex and fighting
Or both at once! - My fave  |

The Lizard King! Did you know that the lyric "Mr Mojo Risin" is an anagram of Jim Morrison as he believed upon his death he would be reincarnated as Mr Mojo Risin. Fuck I'm a total anorak!! |

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - opened up a whole new genre of music to me & made me re-assess what counts as music.
Boards of Canada - made me realise how good electronic music could be & I started to explore it a lot more.
Oasis - the first "real rock band" that I got into when I heard Some Might Say on a compilation tape.

Couldn't pick 3
I'm one of the elder statesmen on this site and a musician to boot. I have had the opportunity to meet many if my "idols" along the way. My taste in music has evolved over time and there are so many different people at different stages of my life that have influenced what I listen too and even what I play.
Came from and old fashioned family so was brought up listening to the Big Band sound so guys like Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa got me started drumming.
In my teens I found Roger Taylor and more importantly Freddie Mercury, also Cozy Powell, John Bonham and Neil Peart. Here my love for Rock Music was founded and still exits even stronger today
In the 80's I discovered Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie and Neil Young and this deep thinking blue coloured sound
Went through a Blues/ Jazz revival and discovered Django Rheinhard and really appreciated Hendrix
Never got into the Brit thing with Oasis or the Nirvana grunge thing,
Started listening to a lot of Goth Metal originally Marilyn Manson but moved in to more Prog sound.
Now I am listening to more Celtic/Gaelic music. I have an ear at the moment for bag rock bands like Chilli Pipers etc.
So very difficult to choose just 3 influences
