Clannad is a K-pop act. Their sound grew out of The Rolling Stones, Joni Mitchell, Steve Perry, Turlough O'Carolan and Hugh Padgham. Those roots explain a lot about how Clannad arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Moya Brennan, Altan, Secret Garden, Mike Oldfield and Miriam Stockley, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Bel Canto, U2, The Joshua Tree, J. D. Souther and Bruce Hornsby, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 33 connections around Clannad, reaching back through The Rolling Stones and forward to Bel Canto.
