Adam Ant's chameleonic charm is powered by glam, grit, romance and no-nonsense punk. This colourful concoction has made him a powerful symbol for fellow eccentrics like Specimen, who imbue their sinister post-punk with Ant's catchy pop sense, and Suede, who give Britpop some of his sly sensuality. Across the pond, Ant's glossy theatrics have infected No Doubt's carnival-esque ska and The Killers' grand synth-pop.
