For clarification (at least in this thread), Funk Rock would be considered Red Hot Chili Peppers, Primus, "The Crunge" by Led Zeppelin, etc. Jazz Funk is most (60's/70's) fusion (Herbie Hancock). (More parenthesis for the fun of it!) -------------

you forgot the options :
- "funk-metal" (Fishbone, FFF, Incubus, Infectious Grooves, I Mother Earth, Street Sweeper Social Club...)
- "disco-funk"
- "all of the above" ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

"The Crunge" beats every Jazz funk i'we ever listned to, so my vote goes to Rock.
But Stanley Clarke comes close on Schooldays. ------------- Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours |

What about "regular" funk?  Anyway, I choose jazz-funk of course. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm

I like both, but I prefer funk rock since that's what I'd assume includes Parliament/Funkadelic, etc.

Funkadelic maybe. But I always found Parliament had leaned more towards jazz, or "classic" funk (not necessarily rock or jazz) ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm

True, Parliament is probably more just "classic" funk, but according to Wiki, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_genre" rel="nofollow - Genres

The Crunge is god-awful. I'd say P-Funk ;) Parliament's Mothership Connection is the funk. Anyway, I'll vote for jazz funk. I do like funk rock though, the Red Hot are pretty solid at it, and well there's the 70s funk rock like Trapeze or Bolin-era Deep purple.

Good question. After JMA, I only came here to see the Book thread. But since I just resurrected my rock/prog listening, with the Zappa, some VdGG, etc, I thought "why not?". But like you see, I'm posting subtley.

Yea I go back and forth, it's just; JMA is not active enough for me to stay for more than 10-15 minutes, unless there's a really interesting thread going on. Glad you're getting you rock feet wet again. I'm the opposite, Ive been trying to get my jazz feet wet again, but I keep getting distracted by other music. So, ummmmmm... yea..... funk!

Go listen to the album Maggot Brain by Funkadelic. Then let's have this whole discussion about funk over again. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |
