Alternative rockHeavy metalRock

Jack Black is a Alternative rock and Heavy metal act. Their catalogue also touches Rock. Their sound grew out of Lyrical Lemonade, Gladys Knight, Carl Douglas, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Paul McCartney. Those roots explain a lot about how Jack Black arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Parry Gripp, Tenacious D, Gummibär, Uncle Kracker and Rare Americans, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Brooks Wackerman, Dave Grohl and Kyle Gass, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 24 connections around Jack Black, reaching back through Lyrical Lemonade and forward to Brooks Wackerman.
