Psychedelic rock

Rain Parade is a Psychedelic rock act. Their sound grew out of Crazy Horse and The Byrds. Those roots explain a lot about how Rain Parade arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Soft Boys, Kaleidoscope, Julian Cope, The Asteroid #4 and Spiritualized, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Mazzy Star, The Bangles and Crazy Horse, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 20 connections around Rain Parade, reaching back through Crazy Horse and forward to Mazzy Star.
