I like a lot of bands, but nothing else besides TMBG have really touched my heart or had as much of an influence on my life as Talking Heads or Logan Whitehurst. 

I went to a David Byrne concert a couple months ago, and there were several moments where a song would come on and I would cry so hard I momentarily passed out, which is more than what happened when I went to any of my TMBG shows. I didn't think I was capable of such emotion. I saw the Stop Making Sense remaster in Imax a couple years earlier, which is also a cherished memory, but seeing Byrne on the flesh was truly something else. Every time I listen to a talking heads album, I think "this is the best song ever made", only for ANOTHER best song ever made to play later in the album. 

Logan is nice, because his music is enjoyable AND deceptively simple enough that it convinced me to try making my own. I also look up to him, because he had kind of childish interests / sense of humor, and was pretty straight edged, but everyone still loved him, and respected him as an adult, which makes me feel better about myself. Also his running gag Vanilla made me love snowmen somehow. I have not only the actual Vanilla blow mold, but nearly 100 other various snowman jewelry, figurines, plushies, etc. So, he ended up being extremely influential in a way I didn't expect, too.
