I like Rush a lot, I don't think they've influenced my music though.

I bought my first Moog so I could learn to play the solo from xanadu

for those keeping track, Bassnectar is NOT part of the Glitch Mob, tho he is friends with all those fellas. And Ooah barely makes music. He's still learning how to produce. All these guys have been friends of mine for years. Funny to hear peeps saying that they're influenced by them. It's beautiful thing how things grow.....
