Eno
Ok, short on time here, but I have to say...damn, Brian Eno kicks ass!
I always forget how many unbelievable landmark albums this guy produced until suddenly I'm reminded for one reason or another, and then it's shocking. Examples: U2, The Unforgettable Fire, Talking Heads, Remain in Light, Bowie, Heroes. That's just a start. His own music is amazing, too.
Ok, less rant and more link. Here's a peep into Eno's mind. one of the quirky and wonderful Eno things is his Oblique Strategies cards, which are creative tools for seemingly random inspiration and redirection in a session. Most of the stuff on these is useable in arts other than music, too. Check them out here. There are free downloadable versions on the site (which also sells the fifth edition of the actual cards), as well as an explanation of what the heck they're all about.
