Boyzone

Pop
Pop

Boyzone is a Pop act. Their sound grew out of Rooster, A1, Murray Head, Right Said Fred and Cat Stevens. Those roots explain a lot about how Boyzone arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Westlife, 911, Gary Barlow, Michael Learns to Rock and Take That, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Five, Westlife and Mika, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 41 connections around Boyzone, reaching back through Rooster and forward to Five.
