This is why I wish the Lady Gaga Movie that she was filming since 2012 wasn't cancelled, I bet there was so much behind-the-scenes footage that they captured
So I was looking at archives from Gaga's Myspace in early 2008 and I noticed her influences included:
Quote:
Yoko Ono, Elvis, David Bowie, Morrissey, Queen, Robert Smith, Robert Plant, Freddy Mercury, Prince, Rod Stewart, Thomas Dolby, Depeche Mode, The Faint, Radiohead, Beck, Franz Ferdinand, The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, Grace Slick & Jefferson Airplane, Queen, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Talking Heads,The Scissor Sisters, The Dresden Dolls, Mika, She Wants Revenge, Janis Joplin, Jenny Lewis, Joy Division, New Order, The Killers, Justin Warfield, Chuck Berry, BuckCherry, Billy Idol, White Stripes, Strokes, Blondie, Pat Benetar, Rilo Kiley, Elton John, Jerry-Lee Lewis, John Lennon, The Beatles. Drag queens in general. Jimmy Choo. Hot Groupie chicks. Hairspray *not the musical. Black Eyeliner. Strippers. Sequins. D-I-S-C-O
Not only does she have a FLAWLESS taste in music, but take note of who is not mentioned
Is it strange I find Just Dance to be a really inspirational song?
It's like an anthem for those who might be scared or embarrassed to go to a party or dance at a club, which I find relatable
Just Dance, it's gonna be okay
I wouldn't make too much out of Madonna not being there. Bruce Springsteen isn't either, and she's clearly very inspired by him, too.

Why do I feel like Gaga was just trying to be hipster and rockish and doesn't even really listen to half of those artists.
As someone who listens to those artists as well I can tell you that you can definitely hear their influence on her music more so than Madonna. I always thought of Gaga as more like Bowie rather than Madonna tbh.
You can tell she takes a lot more influence from Bowie than anyone else. A recent example would be the Applause verses.
) but it's a vinyl
