I dont so much have a favorite band as much as I have a favorite musician. My favorite musician is bass guitarist/ pianist Armistead Burwell Smith. He has a unique playing style for bass, instead of just playing the rhythm with root notes of a guitar like most bassists do, he plays in full chord progression on his bass. He writes music for multiple bands, and does some occasional singing.
Hes a huge inspiration for me musically, and I really like him a ton.
Heres one of his songs, if anyone is interested-
