Progressive rock

Atomic Rooster is a Progressive rock act. Their sound grew out of Quintessence, Mungo Jerry, Colosseum, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown and Andromeda. Those roots explain a lot about how Atomic Rooster arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Wishbone Ash, Captain Beyond, Rare Bird, Focus and Jethro Tull, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Pink Floyd, Status Quo, King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Van der Graaf Generator, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 31 connections around Atomic Rooster, reaching back through Quintessence and forward to Pink Floyd.
