Telephone

Dance-pop
Dance-popElectropop

Telephone is a Dance-pop and Electropop act. Their sound grew out of Ivan Král, The Rolling Stones, John Entwistle and The Who. Those roots explain a lot about how Telephone arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Les Rita Mitsouko, Louise Attaque, Eddy Mitchell, Indochine and Niagara, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Yannick Noah, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 23 connections around Telephone, reaching back through Ivan Král and forward to Yannick Noah. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.

Background

Téléphone was a French rock band formed in 1976. Their first, self-titled album was released in 1977; by the end of the decade they were one of the biggest French rock bands in the world, opening shows for The Rolling Stones in Paris, Quebec, the United States and Japan. The band split in 1986 for personal reasons. They have sold around 10 million albums to date, a record still unbeaten for a French rock band.
