Mine is of course the KINKS. It's like Ray can know what I am feeling and have a song in his catalogue saying listen to this.

If you read about their careers they are very much like me. Very self destructive the second things seem like they are going to be better than ever. Very dark and loners untrusting of anyone including each other.

Vibrant in public with awesome energy. Hard to hate because you see so much talent, but it's wasted by addictions, paranoia, noone understanding, self hatred and distrust, with anger for the fact of just being born thrown in.

A few songs that stand out to describe me "Apeman", "God's Children", "Destroyer", "Catch Me Now I'm Falling", The whole "Phobia" album, "I'm Not Like Everybody Else", Dave's "Living on a Thin Line" and "Death of a Clown" and the list just goes on and on.

Like I said no matter what I am feeling, this band, (more than any other and more than 99% of the people in my life) can articulate the feeling, and with the dry humor in almost every song can get me to smile and remain optimistic.

Who makes you "feel" or can help you through your tough times? Who describes you best through their music?

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
