Going back to when we started playing together, I think we had very disparate influences, but one of the common ones was pop music from the '60s, what we were brought up on. The early music from Germany: Neu!, Can, people like that. We're big fans of Captain Beefheart, obviously. The very early Roxy Music stuff was good. At the time, when we actually started working together, we'd been doing things like Patti Smith's first album, the Ramones, that stuff, Television.
