I think so a little bit. A lot of nu metal bands have funk/rap elements...

no offense but your personal preference for the production is irrelevant, BSSM is simply a stronger, more matured, more varied, and simply a better overall album. Mother's Milk is like a proof of concept for a new band on the verge of establishing itself within the mainstream as proven by the followup. 'better' production might have resulted in slightly better sales but it can't make up for the lack of depth in the material presented.

i'll stop derailing this now.

also POD and Saliva are horrible and derivative. POD sounds like the east coast answer to Linkin Park while trying their damndest to look like the Deftones (way to pick the wrong band to mimic). Saliva comes off like an angry version of Kid Rock (and that's just sad).

Yummy isn't the easiest band to find information about, but their only release, Elegante, is outstanding. Very good funk rock band. It plays on my Pandora station all the time. I could put it on MegaUpload or something.

Here is their myspace page, which is the only place I have found their music on (I bought the CD off Amazon for like $1):

even though is sounds rougher and BSSM is way more refined in both production and variety, I would much rather listen to Mothers Milk. I mean look at these songs:

1. "Good Time Boys" – 5:02
2. "Higher Ground" (Stevie Wonder) – 3:23
3. "Subway to Venus" – 4:25
4. "Magic Johnson" – 2:57
5. "Nobody Weird Like Me" – 3:50
6. "Knock Me Down" – 3:45
7. "Taste the Pain"(Frusciante, Kiedis, Flea, Henley) – 4:32
8. "Stone Cold Bush" (Frusciante, Kiedis, Flea, Smith, Peligro) – 3:06
9. "Fire" (Jimi Hendrix) – 2:03
10. "Pretty Little Ditty" – 1:37 (3:07 on 2003 remastered version)
11. "Punk Rock Classic" – 1:47
12. "Sexy Mexican Maid" (Frusciante, Kiedis, Flea, Smith, Peligro) – 3:23
13. "Johnny, Kick a Hole in the Sky" – 5:12

Shaka Ponk is a french hip-hop/funk-rock band. You probably never heard of them but they're not so bad. Lyrics are in english.

I know Seal is classified in the Soul/R&B, Adult Contemporary, Soft Rock, & Pop genres.
But I think the single 'Crazy' should be able to crossover into the Funk Rock genre more so, than it being labeled in the Soul/R&B genre.
I will admit that Adult Contemporary may be the correct genre to label Seals music.
Somtimes there are simply just 'Fine lines' between the relationship from one certain genre to another.
But after all is said, you are absolutly correct V&F, thanks for pointing it out.
