Rap

Soul Asylum is a Rap act. Their sound grew out of Do You Know, Drivin' N' Cryin', Hüsker Dü, Kiss and Hank Williams. Those roots explain a lot about how Soul Asylum arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Gin Blossoms, Collective Soul, Better Than Ezra, Toad The Wet Sprocket and Tonic, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox Twenty, Paul Westerberg, Bob Mould and Cheap Trick, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 47 connections around Soul Asylum, reaching back through Do You Know and forward to Goo Goo Dolls.
