Although it's always helpful to listen to artists whom have influenced you and who people say, 'you know you kind of sound like_____' to me, it is equally as important to immerse yourself in any sort of listening, all different sorts. That way, not only are you looking for qualities and characteristics of songs that you can understand musically, but you're forced to think outside the box and listen to what qualities you might have in common with that artist. Maybe its your lyricism, themes, chords, key signatures, tempos, and on and on and on...and it lets your mind wander.
Here's what's currently on repeat on my itunes library... If you have any other suggestions, please leave them here: www.facebook.com/fargosrose
