Ed inspired me to pick up the guitar but other than a general business in my playing there's not a lot of his evident in my playing. Same goes for The Edge and Andy Summers - I don't sound like them but I wish I could.
Steve Jones was a big inspiration especially when I first started trying to play.
Porl Thompson and Robert Smith are plenty evident in my playing.
Love the way Lou Reed plays.
Scotty Moore always meant a lot to me.
Stole liberally from Chris Isaak and Hershel Yatovitz.
Those would be the big components of my style. I've got little flavors from loads of other people from Maiden to Johnny Ramone, Peter Buck, Jonny Greenwood, Springsteen, Dylan. It all comes together in the end.

He's an amazing player.
Wow! Lucky you! I'm surprised you didn't beat me to it. Loved him since KotNT.

I'll skip the SRVs, Jimis, and Claptons because much like salt and pepper they always get added to taste.
Top five for shits & giggles
#1 Billy Gibbons – ZZ Top or Terry Kath – Chicago (If he hadn’t repainted his house with brain chunks and made more albums I’m sure more people would be talking about him)
#2 Brian May – Queen (he sounds so good he almost makes me want to try and build a strange looking guitar with a shit load of switches)
#3 Slash – GnR (Top Hat Biatch! Nuff said)
#4 Steve Stevens or Billy Duffy – The Cult (take your pick I dig them both)
#5 Esteban – QVC & Home Shopping Network (Don’t hate, if you practice really hard you to can play “House of the rising sun, & wear a black Pirate Outfit, & sell shitty ass guitars on TV......... I’m shocked he doesn’t sell an official Esteban
