Well, I don't know about the world, but these are the folks who have had the greatest impact on me, in no particular order:
1. Evel Kneivel (he was my first hero, when I was like 3 or 4)
2. Mike Patton (Musical Genius)
3. CS Lewis (Narnia)
4. Glenn Danzig (bands come and go, but The Misfits are one of the only bands I've liked almost my entire life)
5. George Lucas (not so much for Star Wars, but for all the cinema technology that he has given us)
6. Michael Moorcock (for introducing me to Chaos and Law)
7. Alex Ross (I can stare at his art for hours)
8. Ozzy Osbourne (Diary of a Madman was my first cassette)
9. Steve Cabalerro (Best all-around skater ever, and he's from San Jose, word)
10. Nolan Bushnell, and all the other video game pioneers.
Of course I've had friends, teachers and family that were huge in my life , but I kept the list to famous-type people.
