Does any Lenny Kravitz stuff fall into that category?

 

[hieronymous]

I used to like this album by Psychefunkapus - didn't realize they had a second album - I mainly liked the cover of Freedom by Jimi Hendrix.

dig it

I am into every kind of funk fusion except for funk rock. A lot of the examples posted here are not funk rock, I like those songs

I can't think of any rocklike funks tunes either except for some tunes from Living Colour, Rage against the machine and Limp Bizkit.

Edit: 3AM grammar

Lucy Brown. Saw them way back in the 90s with The Bouncing Souls at a local show. They funkin rocked.

How 'bout the original funk Rock song.

Thought they might be too poppy, but seeing as Jamiroquai have been mentioned, I rather like "Too Young to Die". I think it was their first UK chart hit (lots of people wondered if it was Stevie Wonder) and, like a boring old hipster, I still think it's their best.

Oh, really must mention Skunk Anansie. Much more rocking. My band didn't do many covers, but we had a go at "I can dream". My tendons were dying for the chorus; must improve my fretting hand technique if I'm going to rival Cass Lewis.

 

[Bassosaurus]

Rage Against the Machine
Jane's addiction
Jamiroquai
Beastie Boys
No Doubt
Insane Clown Posse
Korn
Limp Bizkit
Linkin' Park

With the possible exception of Jamiroquai, none of this is my go-to funk stuff, but it does seem to match your what you're asking for.

See Post #17...

 

[two fingers]

From an early 90s blues/rock band no less.

 

[Dabndug]

You're missing The Talking Heads, particularly songs from the Remain in Light album.

 

[Jrussblues]

Incubus - fungus amungus
Incubus - science
311 - music
311 - grassroots
Hoobastantk - they sure don’t make basketball shorts like they used to

There is your funk rock bassist bible.

 

[Dabndug]

Even King Crimson got the Funk - probably transmitted by Belew

 

[Dabndug]

Obscure and maybe not rocky enough, but this tune by Aussie post-punk band The Models is very funky. Great synth bass riff...

 

[MattZilla]

Limp Bizkit.

dont think so.
