Sign in to disble this ad
I have been absolutley lovin' this band of late, but I don't want to wear them out too soon, ya know?  The closest I can think of off the top of my head is Red Hot Chili Peppers, but that only makes for two bands 
And as always, any and all help in my plight is appreciated

Wouldn't you like to know?! | | Join Date: Apr 2000 Location: Atlanta | | | Los Amigos Invisibles. A Mexican version, and funky as hell. Also, I have some early Maroon 5 boots, and they had a Jami vibe as well.

| | | | I have 3 early Jamiroquai albums...to me, they sound like a retro-'70s R&B/Funk/Soul band with a '90s flair.
So-
How 'bout The Brand New Heavies? Something like BrotherSister or Brand New Heavies, perhaps.
If you happen to like Jamiroquai's vocalist-
Check out the classic '70s Stevie Wonder albums-
Innvervisions
Talking Book
Songs In The Key Of Life
Fulfillingness' First Finale

Also Incognito |

Beat me to it, the second I saw this thread I though... well the singer wants to be Stevie Wonder pretty bad...
Maroon 5 has a somewhat similar vibe... I'd say closer than the chili peppers.

I would reccommend Ozomatli, they' re on more of a hip-hop/latin funk trip as opposed to Jamiroquai's old-school Motown vibe, but they're still worth checking out.

| | | | A bit more Jazzy, perhaps the older Incognito albums. The newer ones have more of a soul, r&b vibe.
And second the Brand New Heavies. |

Or D'angelos voodo. Oh my god, that's what groove is all about. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
