Triumph

Funk
FunkHouseRhythm and blues

Triumph is a Funk and House act. Their catalogue also touches Rhythm and blues. Their sound grew out of Jimi Hendrix, Dixie Dregs, Kansas and Joe Walsh. Those roots explain a lot about how Triumph arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Night Ranger, Honeymoon Suite, Sammy Hagar, Great White and Y&T, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Guns N' Roses, Sammy Hagar, Mountain, Yngwie Malmsteen and Aldo Nova, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 40 connections around Triumph, reaching back through Jimi Hendrix and forward to Guns N' Roses.
