sorry i keep crapping in your thread but again, i have a really hard time calling Jane's Addiction funk rock (especially not Jane Says). i think they got lumped into the style because they didn't fit anywhere else and 'alternative' rock hadn't become an MTV word of the day.

Been Caught Stealing is on the funky side but it's almost like anything from the 90s where the guitar isn't strummed in straight time is being considered 'funk rock' and i think it's rather ridiculous. yes there were plenty of bands with some funk elements to them and JA was one, but that's it, they had some elements of it - about as much as Led Zeppelin (The Crunge is funky - should LZ be listed as funk rock next?)
