Triumph

Funk
FunkHouseRhythm and blues

Triumph is a Funk and House act. Their catalogue also touches Rhythm and blues. Their sound grew out of Kansas, Joe Walsh, Jimi Hendrix and Dixie Dregs. Those roots explain a lot about how Triumph arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Night Ranger, Sammy Hagar, Great White, Y&T and Tesla, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Sammy Hagar, Guns N' Roses, The Clash, Van Halen and Judas Priest, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 34 connections around Triumph, reaching back through Kansas and forward to Sammy Hagar. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
