So who is your favorite musician?
Any person, any instrument, from any band. The one who has influenced you the most so far :>

Hmm... I'll name one for each instrument, if it's ok.

Drums - Neil Peart.
Guitar - Eesh, that's a toughie. Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Jimi Hendrix, Buckethead, among others.
Bass - Cliff Burton.
Piano - Yuja Wang, Horowitz, Evgeny Kissin, among others.
Singers - Bruce Dickinson, Pat Benatar, Pavarotti, among others, yet again.
