Faces is a Disco act. Their sound grew out of The Birds, Free, Birds, Mick Hucknall and Small Faces. Those roots explain a lot about how Faces arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Ron Wood, Humble Pie, Free, Rod Stewart and Mott the Hoople, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Rose Tattoo, Drive-By Truckers, The Damned, The Rolling Stones and The Who, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 41 connections around Faces, reaching back through The Birds and forward to Rose Tattoo.

Background
Faces are an English rock band formed in London in 1969. They formed after Small Faces lead singer and guitarist Steve Marriott left to form Humble Pie, and the remaining Small Faces—bassist Ronnie Lane, drummer Kenney Jones, and keyboardist Ian McLagan—recruited lead singer Rod Stewart and guitarist Ronnie Wood, both formerly of the Jeff Beck Group, and shortened the band's name to Faces.
