Stuff - artists....or sometimes even just a song - that had some kind of effect on one or more LOOB members, during the LOOB years. For instance, the Adam and the Ants song was a favorite of Ward and Mike's. To say this is a very incomplete listing would be a laughable understatement! But I daresay that if you dump these into a cauldron....you might come up with a Life Out Of Balance!
