Alternative rock

Wings is a Alternative rock act. Their sound grew out of The Beatles, Sounds of Silence, Search, Thunderclap Newman and Small Faces. Those roots explain a lot about how Wings arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Paul McCartney & Wings, The Beatles, John Lennon & Yoko Ono, Badfinger and Klaatu, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Dixie Dregs, Semisonic, Sea Level, Small Faces and Alan Parsons, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 35 connections around Wings, reaching back through The Beatles and forward to Dixie Dregs.
