Progressive rock

Colosseum is a Progressive rock act. Their sound grew out of Juicy Lucy, Curved Air, John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, Black Sabbath and Vertigo Records. Those roots explain a lot about how Colosseum arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Rare Bird, Wishbone Ash, Soft Machine, Hatfield and the North and National Health, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Humble Pie, Atomic Rooster and Caravan, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 27 connections around Colosseum, reaching back through Juicy Lucy and forward to Humble Pie.
