They run in the same orbit as Def Leppard, Europe, Damn Yankees, Poison and Bad English, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, The All-American Rejects, Anna Tsuchiya, Jennifer Nettles and Jeffrey Jey, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
