Roxy Music is a Progressive rock act. Their sound grew out of Guy Pratt, Lindstrøm & Christabelle, Lindstrøm, The Fixx and Climax Blues Band. Those roots explain a lot about how Roxy Music arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Bryan Ferry, Sparks, Mott the Hoople, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and Peter Gabriel, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway, Skinny Puppy, Paul Cook, Love Beach and Adam Ant, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 103 connections around Roxy Music, reaching back through Guy Pratt and forward to Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway.

Background
Roxy Music were an English rock band formed in 1970 by Bryan Ferry and Graham Simpson (bass). By the time the band recorded their first album in early 1972, Ferry and Simpson were joined by Andy Mackay (saxophone/oboe), Phil Manzanera (guitar), Paul Thompson (drums) and Brian Eno (synthesizer). Simpson departed in mid-1972, from which point the bassist position in the band would be unstable, while Eno was replaced by Eddie Jobson (synthesizer/keyboards/violin) in mid-1973. By 1980, the band was reduced to a core trio of Ferry, Mackay and Manzanera, augmented by various backing musicians.
