Who are your favorite composers/producers?

I have countless influences ranging from Led Zeppelin to John Williams, and everything in between. My sister introduced me to progressive rock when I was a kid, so I was into Yes, Asia (early before they went pop rock), King Crimson etc. Later I got into every 70's rock band you could imagine, heavy influences were Jeff Beck, The Eagles, early Ted Nugent, Deep Purple and early Chicago. Later on I got into jazz/fusion, listening and learning from artists like George Benson, Jean Luc Ponte, Alan Holdsworth, and Chick Correa. I also got into film music by John Williams and all the big movie composers.
