I guess most of us listen to a variety of genres and many influences are indeed apparent in the music we make.
Nevertheless, I’ve come to realise that many of my favourite bands/genres haven’t made an (apparent) impact on the music I make. At least not in a way I can detect.
For example, since I was a teenager I listen a lot to bands such as Fields of the Nephilim, Bauhaus and Katatonia whereas the music I make is something like the following.
Do you have such examples?
Please post your favourites and some of your own music for reference if you like.
