I play alto sax and I have been influenced by a number of musicians!
I love the jazz standards and latin/cuban music!
Here are two of my favorite musicians:
Wynton Marsalis

John Coltrane

I heard this song on the cosby show and new I wanted to play saxophone.

I always wanted to sound like Paul Desmond and continue to practice to sound as smooth as he does!

When you mention John Coltrane, you're speaking my language.
"In 1959, Coltrane played on two of the greatest jazz recordings of all-time:  Giant Steps (his own recording) and Kind of Blue (with Miles Davis).  On Giant Steps, Trane took Bebop/Hard Bop to it's natural conclusion, by shoving more (and complex) chord changes into the song than ever before.  On Kind of Blue, the chord changes are very slow, because it is modal, and Coltrane plays some beautiful melodic solos.  His solo on the song Blue In Green is one of the most beautiful slow-tempo solos you'll ever hear."
Enjoy:

Right now I'm learning to play some Iron Maiden stuff on bass. I really like Steve Harris' work. Here's a cool medley video of some stuff he's done. It's not him, but the guy playing is pretty good.

Back when I played drums, I looked up a lot to (the late) Eric Carr of KISS. Probably not the most technical, but I loved the power/style he had. Here's a link to a solo of his that I used to enjoy playing:

sargasm:
deriving far too much satisfaction from glibly berating another with sarcasm.
"Oh, thanks a lot for drinking my last beer! No, it's my fault... if I wanted it for myself, I shouldn't have put it in the fridge!"
"Dude, don't have a sargasm."

Well someone has to do it!
