The Lovin' Spoonful is a Alternative rock and Rock act. Their sound grew out of Judy Collins, The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and The Everly Brothers.

They run in the same orbit as Herman's Hermits, The Young Rascals, The Association, The Grass Roots and The Mamas & the Papas, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Michael Stearns, Paul Stanley, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Into the Rush and Ian & Sylvia, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 48 connections around The Lovin' Spoonful, reaching back through Judy Collins and forward to Michael Stearns.
