Junichi Masuda. Koji Kondo and Toru Minegishi are real high on the list too though.

This is so nice

Also, left out a few people. I'm inclined to also list Tomohito Nishiura, just because his music really inspires me.

Isaac Brock. His beautiful melodies depicting barren wastelands and creating of extremely powerful emotions with extremely simple instrumentation, as well as his poetry which is awe-inspiring itself. He is everything I inspire to be.

I guess I can't go without saying Bruce Springsteen. I've been a fan for such a long time although there has been times when I have only listened vgm and stuff. His songs are generally very simple but that's the magic of rock 'n' roll gods, they take those 4 chords and make something amazing with them.

Nobuo Uematsu takes the second place.

Les Claypool
Darrin Pfeiffer
Jimmy Chamberlin
Billy Corgan

These four people have so much talent spilling out of their body that I think the amount of envy I have toward them would cause a singularity if I let it.

Is this is even a question?
Yes, which Bach? Sure, J.S. Bach is more famous but for example his sons played an important role in the history of music. W.A. Mozart once said something like: "Bach is the father, we are the sons." and in fact he was referring to C.P.E. Bach (the most famous of J.S. Bach's sons). J.C. Bach (another of Bach's sons) was an inspiration for W.A. Mozart's concerto style. W.A. Mozart discovered J.S. Bach later in life.

As for the thread topic, depends how musical hero is defined. In my case I've been wanting to compose and have in fact recently started composing some (nothing finished yet) and the music of alot of composers is inspiring. You could say I have lots of musical heroes but to mention a few: J.S. Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, G.F. Handel, G.P. Telemann, W.A. Mozart, Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Frederick Chopin, Jean Sibelius, Carl Nielsen, Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, Henry Cowell, Leo Ornstein, Anton Bruckner, Erik Satie, Dmitri Shostakovich, John Barry, Tomohito Nishiura, Michael Giacchino... Basically I try to listen to lots of classical, film, TV and video game music.

Yes~


I would say Koji Kondo and my composition teacher have inspired me to composer lots of great music.
For violin...Sarah Chang :P and Jascha Heifetz :P
For Piano...my mum :)
and I would say Giora Schmidt playing my favourite concerto (Barber Concerto) really helps me aim for the best :P
