Impossible to say them all here: Rolling Stones, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Camel, Supertramp, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Neil Young, Queen, Peter Frampton, Santana, Frank Zappa, Sting, Simple Minds, Waterboys, Jethro Tull, Yes, Barclays James Harvest, David Bowie, Dire Straits, U2, Chris Rea, Tom Waits and so many that remain to be said.

    Época que eu não era usuário de drogas . Melhor época da minha vida ! Hoje luto contra o vício em cocaína.
    Essas músicas da época que eu não era usuário, me fazem muito bem . Me motiva a ficar sóbrio.
