Professor Peedston Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 How do you not know what funk is? :o Think James Brown, Parliament, Funkadelic, Sly and the Family Stone, Bootsy Collins, Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, War, Herbie Hancock (who was also a great jazz musician but "Head Hunters" is as good a funk album as I've heard), Charles Wright. Those artists are all great. Sly and the Family Stone's "Stand!" and James Brown's "Live at the Apollo Volume II" are good places to start if you ask me.

Professor Peedston Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 And no the Red Hot Chili Peppers are not funk although they do have some funky songs. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 i never heard about most bands you said peedston.. well i have to listen them to judge if i like funk or not... don't jamiroquai are funk too? :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Peedston Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Stevie wonder has a lot of songs that are straight funk. Like "Superstition." Don't get no funkier than that. Or "Higher Ground," "Do Yourself a Favor," "I Wish." Funk masterpieces. :cool: Jamiroquai are sort of funky. They have a lot of other similar influences, though, like Philly soul, disco, and acid jazz. It all depends on how loosely you define the genre, I guess.

Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 ok thanks a lot for you info peedston, we luckily can ask you about different music styles/genres ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitta Rensolo Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I think rhcp are not a typical funk band,because they have no saxofon or trumpet....but their way of playing bass makes them funky... Stevie Wonder and earth wind and fire are typical funk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 lol that's new to me trumpets have to to anything with trumpetss? well i think we all really need some lessons about music styles... if mr peedston come back to this thread may be he can teach us..

eline. Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 haha I hope so.. I don't know anything about styles.. :/ but I know what music I like and what music I don't like, and in the end it doesn't really matter in what style that music belongs.. right? :D although.. a little lesson in music styles wouldn't do me any wrong, I suppose :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
