Elvis was a huge KLF fan. Ray Charles always wanted to work with Kanye but never got to. Some elderly bluesmen revere Moby as a Kali-like figure of death and rebirth.

Whenever I've put on a Spoon record, I've always been struck by its profound debt to Cat Power.
And everyone knows Carl Newman has been ripping off the Shins since his days with Zumpano, which released its first album two years before Flake Music, James Mercer's original band.
And listen closely to Daydream Nation. Even though it was released a year before the first Pavement single, and four years before Slanted and Enchanted, it was clearly influenced by the material it preceded.
I should of just ignored this thread.

Robert Forster - The Monkees, Patti Smith, Townes Van Zandt

Pere Ubu - Stooges, Blue Cheer, Capn Beefheart, John Cale, Ralph Cramden/Fred Flintstone

"Elvis was a huge KLF fan."

Is that how they got him to sing on "The Chill Out?"

Wait, is that a serious comment? Other than the types of people who tend to be fans of both bands, I don't see the similarity.
