Geddy Lee. I was a Big big Rush fan from the tail of the 70s into the mid-80s.

One of the most important bands for me in my youth.

Hugo Prinsen Geerligs of The Gathering. They were my gateway into modern metal back in 1997, when I first discovered them, and through their development into more atmospheric and progressive styles they also dragged me along into different styles outside my comfort zone - almost straight away, when they released their double album "How to measure a planet?" in 1998, which was nothing like its precursors. I've been following them ever since.

Bruce Foxton, I had a real "we`re not worthy" moment when I met him.

 

[Rodders]

Never got to see him live and I'm not necessarily a fan of his sound (in later years) but the freedom that he played with and the melodic stuff he played whilst in a band setting really wowed me when I first started..

I never saw this line-up but I saw Jet Harris with the Jet Blacks in Slough in 1962

 supporting Little Richard and Sam Cooke.

Alphonso Johnson - bought the album Spellbound and it opened up a whole new way to play bass/stick
