I don't remember the exact song, but my most personal musical tastes have
so far evolved thusly:

                       CSN -> Neil Young
                      /                   Hendrix -> The Who -> PT
 * Beach Boys -> Byrds -> Beatles ->  ->                \
                  /   \          \       Pink Floyd      \
          Tom Petty   Dylan     Lennon              Small Faces

The only one I don't really listen to most ever anymore is the Beach Boys....
My current listening mix is 40% Pete, 30% Who, and 30% everything else.  I
perform mostly Dylan, though.
