Wings

Alternative rock
Alternative rock

Wings is a Alternative rock act. Their sound grew out of Search, The Beatles, Thunderclap Newman, Traffic 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 The Beach Boys, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Small Faces, Sea Level, Dixie Dregs, Semisonic and Alan Parsons, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 38 connections around Wings, reaching back through Search and forward to Small Faces.
