Tangerine Dream began as a surreal [[krautrock]] band, with each of the members contributing different musical influences and styles, before becoming a "revered [[progressive electronic]] act."<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Reed |first1=Ryan |title=Tangerine Dream Unearth 'Phaedra' Outtakes for Massive Seventies Box Set |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/tangerine-dream-phaedra-box-set-823527/ |magazine=Rolling Stone |date=18 April 2019 |access-date=1 June 2022}}</ref> Edgar Froese's guitar style was inspired by [[Jimi Hendrix]],<ref>{{cite news |last=Joyce |first=Mike |title=Spotlight; The Group With a Synth Of Adventure; Tangerine Dream's Long Electronic Music Quest |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=7 September 1988 |url=http://www.arm.ac.uk/~ath/music/td/postings/td_washingtonpost.html |access-date=18 November 2006 |archive-date=17 August 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070817063427/http://www.arm.ac.uk/%7Eath/music/td/postings/td_washingtonpost.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> as well as the avant-garde composers [[Iannis Xenakis]] and [[Karlheinz Stockhausen]], while Christopher Franke contributed elements of [[György Ligeti]] and [[Terry Riley]]. [[Yes (band)|Yes]]-like progressive rock influence was brought in by [[Steve Jolliffe]] on ''Cyclone''. The sample-based sound collages of Johannes Schmoelling drew their inspiration from a number of sources; one instance is [[Steve Reich]]'s [[Music for 18 Musicians]] on parts of ''[[Logos Live]]'', and the track "[[Love on a Real Train]]" from the ''[[Risky Business]]'' soundtrack.<ref name=KQED>{{cite web|publisher=[[KQED Inc.|KQED]]|url=https://www.kqed.org/arts/12014754/steve-reichs-turning-80-heres-where-youve-heard-him-before|title=Steve Reich's Turning 80 — Here's Where You've Heard Him Before|author=Pope, Shelby|date=September 6, 2016}}</ref>

Classical music has had an influence on the sound of Tangerine Dream over the years. [[György Ligeti]], [[Johann Sebastian Bach]], [[Pierre Boulez]], [[Iannis Xenakis]], [[Maurice Ravel]], and [[Arcangelo Corelli]] are clearly visible as dominant influences in the early albums. A Baroque sensibility sometimes informs the more coordinated sequencer patterns, which has its most direct expression in the [[La Folia]] section that comes at the very end of the title track of Force Majeure. In live performances, the piano solos often directly quoted from Romantic classical works for piano, such as the Beethoven and Mozart snippets in much of the late 1970s – early 1980s stage shows. In the bootleg recording of the [[Mannheim]] Mozartsaal concert of 1976 ([[Tangerine Tree]] volume 13), the first part of the first piece also clearly quotes from [[Franz Liszt]]'s ''[[Totentanz (Liszt)|Totentanz]]''. The first phrase is played on a harpsichord synthesizer patch and is answered by the second half of the phrase in a flute voicing on a [[Mellotron]]. During the 1990s, many releases included recordings of classical compositions: [[Pictures at an Exhibition]] (on ''[[Turn of the Tides]]''), [[Ombra mai fù|Largo (from Xerxes)]] (on ''[[Tyranny of Beauty]]''), Symphony in A Minor (by J. S. Bach), and Concerto in A Major / Adagio (by [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]]) (both on ''[[Ambient Monkeys]]'').

Since the 1990s, Tangerine Dream have also recorded cover versions of Jimi Hendrix' "[[Purple Haze]]" (first on ''[[220 Volt Live]]'') and [[The Beatles]]' "[[Eleanor Rigby]]", "[[Back in the U.S.S.R.]]", "[[Tomorrow Never Knows]]", and "[[Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)|Norwegian Wood]]".

An infrequently recurring non-musical influence on Tangerine Dream, and Edgar Froese in particular, have been 12th–19th-century poets. This was first evident on the 1981 album ''[[Exit (Tangerine Dream album)|Exit]]'', <!--

Actually, I recall reading that the vocoder intro on _Cyclone_ is a Shakespeare quote, but I'm not sure so I'm leaving it away for now. --Tropylium

-->the track title ''"Pilots of the Purple Twilight"'' being a quote from [[Alfred Lord Tennyson]]'s poem ''[[Locksley Hall]]''. Six years later, the album ''[[Tyger (album)|Tyger]]'' featured poems from [[William Blake]] set to music; and around the turn of the millennium, Edgar Froese started working on a musical trilogy based on [[Dante Alighieri]]'s ''[[Divine Comedy]]'', completed in 2006. Most recently, the 2007 album ''Madcap's Flaming Duty'' features more poems set to music, some again from Blake but also e.g. [[Walt Whitman]].

[[Pink Floyd]] were also an influence on Edgar Froese and Tangerine Dream, the band in its very early psychedelic rock band phase playing improvisations based on Pink Floyd's "[[Interstellar Overdrive]]". ''Madcap's Flaming Duty'' is dedicated to the memory of the late [[Syd Barrett]]. The title refers to Barrett's solo release ''[[The Madcap Laughs]]''.

The band's influence can be felt in ambient artists such as Deepspace, [[The Future Sound of London]], [[David Kristian]], and [[Global Communication]], as well as rock, pop, and dance artists such as [[Porcupine Tree]], [[M83 (band)|M83]], [[DJ Shadow]], [[Ulrich Schnauss]], [[Cut Copy]], and [[Kasabian]]. The band also clearly influenced 1990s and 2000s [[trance music]], notably [[Chicane (musician)|Chicane]]; both  "[[Offshore (song)|Offshore]]" and "Sunstroke" borrow heavily from "Love on a Real Train" <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.electricityclub.co.uk/chicane-interview/|title = CHICANE Interview|date = 3 May 2014}}</ref> where lush soundscapes and [[synth pads]] are used along with repetitive [[synth]] sequences, much like in their 1975 releases ''[[Rubycon (album)|Rubycon]]'' and ''[[Ricochet (Tangerine Dream album)|Ricochet]]'', as well as some of their music from the early 1980s. The group have also been sampled countless times, more recently by [[Recoil (band)|Recoil]] on the album ''[[SubHuman]]'', by [[Sasha (DJ)|Sasha]] on ''[[Involver]]'', and on several Houzan Suzuki albums. [[Michael Jackson]] also expressed being a fan of Tangerine Dream, specifically their 1977 soundtrack for the film [[Sorcerer (film)|''Sorcerer'']]. It inspired him to get a [[Synclavier]] II, which a demo of would be used as the intro for [[Beat It]]. <ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Dolby |first=Thomas |date=2016-10-06 |title=Inside Michael Jackson's Mansion: Thomas Dolby Recalls Surreal Visit |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/inside-michael-jacksons-mansion-thomas-dolby-recalls-surreal-visit-192458/ |access-date=2024-07-02 |magazine=Rolling Stone |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Dolby |first=Thomas |title=The Speed of Sound: Breaking the Barriers Between Music and Technology: A Memoir |date=2016 |publisher=Flatiron Books |isbn=978-1250071842 |edition=First |language=en}}</ref> <!-- I don't own the book but that article is just an exceprt from it, which confirms the previous two sentences.
