Atomic Rooster is a Progressive rock act. Their sound grew out of Mungo Jerry, Colosseum, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Andromeda and Quintessence.

They run in the same orbit as Wishbone Ash, Captain Beyond, The Nice, Rare Bird and Focus, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Van der Graaf Generator and Asia, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
