And last up is Jason. (ITS-A ME!) I would have a hard time listing them by how influential they are, so theyre listed here in chronological order of me hearing them. 1. Damn the Torpedoes by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 2. Eponymous by REM 3. Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand 4. Mezmerize by System of a Down 5. Avenged Sevenfold by Avenged Sevenfold 6. Kezia by Protest the Hero 7. The Incident by Porcupine Tree 8. Crack the Skye by Mastodon 9. The Great Misdirect by Between the Buried and Me 10. Mouth of Swords by The Safety Fire 11? Language by The Contortionist. Even though it just released its already influencing how I think about vocal arrangements and harmonies. She Who Mars the Skin of the Gods by Protest The Hero from Kezia. - youtu.be/8eLvkqKijeQ Protest the Hero was the first prog band I listened to AND the first band which used heavy vocals I listened to. Protest really was the band that opened the doors to all of the music I listen to today. And as a bass player, their bassist, Arif Mirabdolbaghi, has had a huge impact on my personal playing style.
