To put it simply, Mizzunderstood (& I hope you see this), FUNK IS DEAD!!!

The funk is lacking these days cuz no one seems to care. It's either about synthesized hip-hop/R&B or loud distorted rock or plastic pop. I can name you some bands of today that come close to being funky:

Radio 4
Los Amigos Invisibles
Maroon 5
Dismemberment Plan
The Rapture (check these guys out)
Soulive
Chocolate Genius
The Liars
Cody ChestnuTT

and you have the veterans:

Fishbone
D'Angelo
Red Hot Chili Peppers (but even they've decided to go into different directions)
Prince (duh!)
Level 42 (yes, they're back!)


But funk is'nt around cuz folks don't really take that genre seriously. After all, wasn't just a danceable alternative to Rhythm & Blues? There's just so many other danceable forms of music that have left funk in the dust. Hopefully the funk shall return. And because I'm a very funk-rooted rhythm guitarist, I'd like to be apart of that resurrection.
