Independant opinions free from the influence of/or the attempt to "google" for the information is what I find the most interesting, and thats what I am looking for when I visit different music forums.
I find the Rap Rock genre interesting and all, but I really have a hard time connecting the originality of Raprock evolving from the Punk genre?
It would seem common that bands like The Clash, etc. would of course play a major part in music as a whole, but I am not very well versed in the Punk genre, I actually dont know very much about bands like The Clash and so on, so the question I am asking is, "what is your opinion"? concerning the Punk genre as the origin of Rap Rock, who are some of the major Punk Rock bands of influence? (Thanks in advance).  |
In reference to the Clash try listening to both "London Calling" and "Sandinista" the group cover a whole range of musical styles and I`m sure you`ll find some inspiration there. As for other stuff, well the obvious stuff like the Sex Pistols and the Ramones that will give you the two sides of punk (Anarchaic and cartoony) and if you want to go back further then look no further than Iggy Pop and the Stooges. Like you I`m not that much into punk, so somebody else may give you better answers. Another group of interest are the Cramps with their psychobilly style.
