Just thinking more about the roots-reggae thing: have you EVER seen a critic call a Jamaican album recorded between 1965-1980 crap?

― paulhw (paulhw), Friday, 9 January 2004 16:03 (twenty-two years ago)

i reckon Grebo deserves a space on both side of this arguement.

Apart from a faux upsetter album, no. But they weren't greatly reviewed at the time, and retrospective reviews tend to ignore crap albums...

punk funk?!

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 9 January 2004 16:47 (twenty-two years ago)

1. new age
2. dixieland
3. any genre tied to white supremacy
4. post-1974 fusion, except for fusion that for various reasons doesn't get called fusion
5. easy Listening/Nature Sounds albums, and other mood music with limited kitsch factor
6. most Broadway musicals written after 1960 and not involving Stehpen Sondheim

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 9 January 2004 16:51 (twenty-two years ago)

3. any genre tied to white supremacy

this is prob the right answer....but every once in awhile you do hear something about how "early skrewdriver" is good from a punker....

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Friday, 9 January 2004 16:53 (twenty-two years ago)

punk funk = DFA, The Rapture, Metro Area (though they are they best of a bad bunch)etc.

basically stuff influenced by The Clash but with half-arsed attempt at fusing "dance" beats onto it.

― searchanddelete, Friday, 9 January 2004 16:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Also polka. A Frankie Yankovic seems pretty essential for a well-rounded record collection, but no one will tell you so.

― dylan (dylan), Friday, 9 January 2004 16:54 (twenty-two years ago)

or i guess i should say "essential to." i'm so lame.

― dylan (dylan), Friday, 9 January 2004 16:55 (twenty-two years ago)

A popular stance more than a critical one, but: Any Top 40 music that isn't the Top 40 music made when I was a kid.

― dylan (dylan), Friday, 9 January 2004 16:58 (twenty-two years ago)

early skrewdriv.. They were always rubbish, but instead of getting religion....

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 9 January 2004 17:01 (twenty-two years ago)

early skrewdriv.. They were always rubbish

not surprised....I never bought/downloaded anything because I A) thought it was prob. lunkheaded crapola anyway and B) didn't want to have it on my harddrive or be seen buying a skrewdriv album...

Metro Area are punk funk, WTF besides being dance music how are they connected in terms of sound to punk funk?

― Jedmond, Saturday, 10 January 2004 02:31 (twenty-two years ago)

punk funk=early red hot chili peppers

― Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 10 January 2004 07:50 (twenty-two years ago)

No, surely that's funk punk, isn't it

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Saturday, 10 January 2004 07:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe Jess was questioning who disrespects (the genre that everyone should hate to call) "Punk Funk"? Cause as far as I've ever seen people are constantly unanimously up on its dick.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 10 January 2004 09:21 (twenty-two years ago)

They weren't Hip House, COME ON! They were (British) Hip Hop. I think it was only *hip* or respected for a slit second note (three notes in I'll House Ya, hah!)

I hate the Clash so much. Luckily I think almost none of the current 'punk-funk-punk-funk' (dance-punk?) bands aren't really influenced by them at all. Then again I'm not English.

Any Top 40 music that isn't the Top 40 music made when I was a kid

Yeah! Sort of. I like Missy Elliot. Not in a sexual way though.

Genres I disrespect:

Singer/Songwriter
Jam Band
Ska
Pop-Punk
Emo
Drum n Bass
Microhouse
Metal
Nu-Metal (sub-categoy: bands w/miss spelt names)
Bands that sound like Belle and Sebastian
Bands that are Black Box Recorder
and my favorite
'pop/rock'

― christhamrin (christhamrin), Saturday, 10 January 2004 09:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Metro Area is not punk-funk no way.

Wee Papa Girls get's props in hip-house/house circles. One(or more?) tracks of theirs were definately hip-house tracks produced by Kevin Saunderson.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Saturday, 10 January 2004 09:41 (twenty-two years ago)

haha metro area punk.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 10 January 2004 11:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Not really a direct answer, but I've always resented how the words "folkie" and "hippie" (or "hippy" if you're from the UK) are always used automatically as pejoratives. There's good folk music and good hippie music out there, no matter what you choose to call it!

― Scott Bloomfield, Monday, 12 January 2004 18:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Amen to that Scott.

I think there's a definite distinction between too-much-coffee style punk-funk (respected)(Gang of Four, Talking Heads, etc.) and cartoony slap-bass punk-funk (dis)(Chili Peppers, Suicidal Tendencies, etc.).

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 12 January 2004 18:54 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe the term "punk funk" is an English thing then. got nothing to do with RHCP, at any rate.

― search and delete, Monday, 12 January 2004 19:01 (twenty-two years ago)

on ilm theres more respect for hitler then for
