| The aim of this page is
to illustrate how other artists have reached towards Adam and the
Ants for their own influences. This could be in the form of song,
video, imagery and beyond.
I have (for the moment at least)
chosen to omit tunes which sample Adam and Marco's music, as that is
a page in its own right and can be found
here. Some of the listed tunes below may be stretching it a
little as whether they were actually influenced in anyway. Unless
the artists confirm it themselves, we have to resort to personal
opinion only .
To save you the added annoyance of
hunting these tracks down, I have provided links to releases that
contain these tracks in the left hand column.
Please email your suggestions to
here.
