My favorite artist is 2Pac. My favorite song is Gin and Juice by Snoop Dogg. 2Pac co-wrote his music with his mother, Afeni Shakur. It inspires me to rap, because, I'm a ghetto person, so I hear good lyrics and a good beat, I want to be as good as that, and to rap off the beat. I love rap. I listen to some rock, too. Like I said in my introduction, I'm a rapper.

I like almost all kinds of music: country, opera, folk, soft rock, some emo-rock, 80's and 90's music, and some 70's, vocal, Russian pop/rock, Asian music, and folk.
My favorite artists are...Sting, the Police, the Beatles, Evanescence, Within Temptation, Loreena McKennitt, Chloe Agnew, Utada Hikaru, Dmitry Koldun, Kutless, and Linkin Park.
I'm not sure how many of the artists write their own stuff, but Chloe Agnew and Loreena McKennitt sing new renditions of old folk songs or vocal songs.
So far, Linkin Park and Evanescence probably inspire me to write the most. The lyrics in their songs are beautiful and powerful, and they make me want to write stuff just as amazing.
*whew!*
'Nuff said?

I listen to mostly popular stuff such as Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, Leona Lewis, some rappers, a bit of Delta Goodrem, Evanescense, The Veronicas etc. Lately I've also really gotten into Carrie Underwood.
Mos of the above artists write or co-write their own songs, but not always.
The artists who inspire my music the most are probably Leona Lewis, Carrie Underwood and Evanescense. -

Favorite Band is Blue October, and my favorite song of theirs is Fairy Tale (or Balance Beam). They do write their own songs! I love that about them. I'm not quite sure how they helpped me improve my song writing, but they inspired me to write a coursless song.

Lately I've also really gotten into Carrie Underwood.
YES! GO CHOCO!
*gasp*
Sorry. She's my favorite artist. AND she co-wrote some of the songs on Carnival Ride.
My three favorite songs are I Know You Won't by Carrie Underwood, When You Love Someone Like That by Leann Rimes/Reba McEntire, and How You Live by Point of Grace.
The last song I mentioned is the most inspirational song I've heard. Anyway by Martina McBride is also very inspirational. -

My favourite artist is 30 seconds to mars, my favourite song is From Yesterday and Buddha for Mary by 30stm
Jared leto from 30stm does write the songs and always has, maybe hes band has helped but its always in the band. manager not included. Thier music inspires me because the way they put the words together along withthe tune I cant imagine doing that myself.
I listen to emo and rock, some pop music like new take that, mika and the hoosiers. -

Evanescence(but only their songs without darkness)
Linkin park(not all)
Some songs of Dolores O'Riordan
