Psychedelic rockRock

Shocking Blue is a Psychedelic rock and Rock act. Their sound grew out of The Beatles and Tim Rose. Those roots explain a lot about how Shocking Blue arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Jefferson Airplane, Slade, The Grass Roots, The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band and The Yardbirds, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Mint Royale, Claw Boys Claw, Beatrice, Bananarama and The Raconteurs, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 32 connections around Shocking Blue, reaching back through The Beatles and forward to Mint Royale.
