Punk rock

LCD Soundsystem is a Punk rock act. Their sound grew out of Siouxsie and the Banshees, Manuel Göttsching, John Cale, Joy Division and Arcade Fire. Those roots explain a lot about how LCD Soundsystem arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Rapture, The Postal Service, Stereolab, Caribou and Fujiya & Miyagi, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Poolside, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., Big Data, Been Stellar and WhoMadeWho, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 53 connections around LCD Soundsystem, reaching back through Siouxsie and the Banshees and forward to Poolside.
