Why would a list of influences raise questions as to source and originality?

Unless there's plagiarism involved, the idea alone is totally ludicrous.

That would be akin to saying that Salinger stole from Hemingway. Or Robert Frost stole from Walt Whitman. Much of literature is based on themes found in the bible.

We're influenced by what we like and what we read. Our style is going to reflect that.

Why you being such a meanie, BG?

Knowing what influenced any artist is fascinating. But it doesn't necessarily mean I'll enjoy everything they do.
