"Influences"

This may be the day I actually hear "Tea For One."
I need to go "get" a copy of Led Zeppelin Presence and listen to it once so I can drive along and imagine someone interviewing me/us about this record I am/we are doing and have imagined exchanges like:

Q: What were some of the influences on this record?

A: Well, New Order Technique, uh...the new Suede stuff.  Bryan Ferry's Olympia.  Led Zeppelin Presence...

Q: Huh.  Well, it's odd that those were influential, as this just sounds like another lousy record from D____.

A: [shuffles feet, starts tearing up...]
