Dude...Isn't I'm Your Baby Tonight kinda funky? What about Dear John Letter?

Pet Shop Boys
Depeche Mode
Marilyn Manson
Slipknot

All of those other horrible bands that teens love like Blink 182, Wheatus etc.


They are all totally devoid of funk musically so devoid of funk full stop.

Marilyn Manson has had funk elements in his music, a lot. So have the Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode, neither of those names are certainly devoid of funk.

God that album cover pic makes me cringe! Is it THAT impossible to get someone who actually knows how to dance on pointe for these types of things?! Horrible, HORRIBLE feet.

I'm IN Holland and I didn't even hear this story. And just because I'm the monkey doesn't change the fact that those are hideous feet.

Come Together was a funky Beatles song.

TonyVanDam said:

Its was just rock and roll, inspired by Chuck Berry.

"Come Together" was inspired by Chuck Berry?

minneapolisgenius said:

Ok maybe not by Chuck Berry. How the hell you say in English that that song was based on one song by Chuck Berry????

Sorry my portuguese sometimes make me mad.

From Wikipedia:

"[Come together] was the subject of a lawsuit brought against Lennon by Chuck Berry's music publisher, Morris Levy, due to the fact that one line in "Come Together" closely resembled a line of Berry's You Can't Catch Me: (i.e. The Beatles' "Here come ol' flattop, he come groovin' up slowly" vs. Berry's "Here come up flattop, he was groovin' up with me")."

Pet Shop Boys got it going on..."Before" is funk-a!!!


and i've always considered Mode's "Personal Jesus" as being as funky as they could get.

I can name a few who 'think' they have it!!!! but they most certainly DON'T!!!

Madonna
JLo
Usher (wannabe)

Uh! too many up-them-selves fakers around these days!

I thought Gary Numan's later work was funky.

bublebath said:

Oh you mean lyrically though.

weepingwall said:

I disagree there! He's part of the so stiff so cold so funky electronic crowd, like Kraftwerk.

bublebath said:

Strawberry Fields Forever (Take 7 & Edit Piece) from Anthology 2. The drum solo by Ringo after 3 min. is very funky.
