The Edge

Rap
RapRock

The Edge is a Rap and Rock act. Their sound grew out of Howie B, Pink Floyd, Jah Wobble's Invaders of the Heart, Michael Brook and Jimmy Page. Those roots explain a lot about how The Edge arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as U2, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Death Angel, Man Man, Roy Orbison, Tina Turner and Martin Garrix, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 34 connections around The Edge, reaching back through Howie B and forward to Death Angel.
