The Beach Boys is a Pop and Rock act. Their sound grew out of The Rubettes, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Junior Brown, Frankie Lymon and The Shangri-Las. Those roots explain a lot about how The Beach Boys arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Beatles, Wings, Paul McCartney & Wings, The Mamas & the Papas and Herman's Hermits, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Susanna Hoffs, Weezer, Alan Menken, Ramones and Cheap Trick, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 195 connections around The Beach Boys, reaching back through The Rubettes and forward to Susanna Hoffs.
