| Charles Bukowski
This is a short list of artist's that have been influenced by Charles Bukowski, my favourite author and poet. Along with listing the bands I will add an example of an album or song title that is taken from Bukowski's work.
If you don't know who Charles Bukowski is you should really look into his work if you a fan of modern literature, along with, sex, gambling, fighting and drinking.
Here are some tidbits for you as well....
