So, according to the new Swiss interview

http://www.20min.ch/ro/entertainment...story/15785329

The stuff she listens to includes:

Gorillaz, Gwen Stefani, The Killers, Daft Punk (and of course Madonna).

I actually was totally unfamiliar with Gorillaz and The Killers, and only very passingly acquainted with Daft Punk. Gwen Stefani, I've heard on the radio a fair amount, but I don't know her non-single songs. Listening to a sampling of their songs, it seems like one can detect a lot of their influences in her new sound. I'm curious to hear others' thoughts on this.

I listen to The Killers and Daft Punk often. I don't really see the correlation between The Killers and her, though that may change with repeated listening.
I can see Daft Punk, though.

I'm pretty sure that Alizée is also a fan of Robbie Williams and Indochine, thought I doubt that they influenced her very much.

I can hear similarity between her and certain tracks of The Killers on her more upbeat stuff. The Killers were the group I primarily listened to before her - love the style.

Gorillaz and Gwen I'm familiar with. Daft Punk I couldn't tell from a hole in the ground :-P

I still think there is some form of influence for the bridge of MJ being drawn from Knights of Cydonia by Muse. That Ahh, Ahhh, ahhhh is very reminiscent of KOC (to me anyway).
