Saga

Progressive rock
Progressive rock

Saga is a Progressive rock act. Their sound grew out of The Who, Rush, Kansas, Rupert Hine and Jethro Tull. Those roots explain a lot about how Saga arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Triumph, The Flower Kings, Alan Parsons and Fish, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Epitaph, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 21 connections around Saga, reaching back through The Who and forward to Epitaph. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
