Falco

Hip hop
Hip hopPopRock

Falco is a Hip hop and Pop act. Their catalogue also touches Rock. Their sound grew out of Klaus Nomi, Giorgio Moroder, Wolfram, Ganymed and Elvis Presley. Those roots explain a lot about how Falco arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Nena, Die Prinzen, Alphaville, Udo Jürgens and Bilderbuch, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Backstreet Boys, Laura Branigan, Edguy, Bloodhound Gang and Fler, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 33 connections around Falco, reaching back through Klaus Nomi and forward to Backstreet Boys.
