Jamiroquai. Their first three albums I found really inspirational, and it was what made me get really serious about my bass playing. I decided that I was going to learn the entire Travelling Without Moving album note for note, and once I finished that, I moved onto the others!!! Regardless of what people think, there is some amazing musicianship on those albums. Also usually once I've learned a piece of music, the pleasure of listening to it diminishes for me, but I can still listen to Jamiroquai. I went off them during the Funk Oddessy and Synkronised era, but their last album was a blinder! Also opened me up to so much more music like disco and soul, and ignited my love for acid jazz. Probably my second fave would have to be Metallica. They just give me a buzz everytime I put them on!
