Rap
Rap

Foo Fighters is a Rap act. Their sound grew out of Shadow of the Day, The Beatles, Black Sabbath, The Clash and Lenny Kravitz. Those roots explain a lot about how Foo Fighters arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Them Crooked Vultures, Chris Cornell, Velvet Revolver, Royal Blood and Incubus, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Sum 41, Simple Plan, The All-American Rejects, Cartel and Third Eye Blind, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 151 connections around Foo Fighters, reaching back through Shadow of the Day and forward to Sum 41.
