Seal's debut single, "Crazy" is one of his biggest hits, reaching the top five in the United Kingdom and the top ten in the United States. It since has been covered by several artists, including Alanis Morissette, whose version was released as a single from her album The Collection (2005).

This song in particular, is classified within the (Electronica, Pop, Soul) genre.
Would this single by Seal fit anywhere within a subgenre of Funk/Rock ?
Thanks for posting this song, I haven't heard it in yeeeears

I'd say it's pop/soul - it's certainly a little funky but nothing I'd call funk/rock. No need to split hairs over genres anyway.

Mother's Milk might have been Blood Sugar Sex Magik with some better production...

Everything you say I believe to be true, but Cliff Burton died in 1986 and Claypool's Primate started playing together back in 1984, so he had already started to explore doing his own thing...

It actually goes back further than that. He went to high school with Kirk Hammett and it was Hammett who first encouraged him to pick up the bass.

how so?

BSSM had far more musical variety and depth. the production was just as good as anything else at the time (Appetite for Destruction / Nothing's Shocking etc.) . if anything the complaints seem to center around the guitar sounding 'too metal', more like too much Dave Navarro tones and not enough Jimi Hendrix.

in retrospect Mother's Milk was essentially a new band warming up by capping off their old sound. they even beg for it on Punk Rock Classic. this album is just too fast to have the broader appeal that BSSM has.

Mostly it might be considered their best and/or be my favorite if it had some better production. I'm not saying it would have sounded anything like it.

And yeah, I love the songwriting on Mother's Milk but I can't really stand the production/guitar tone. That's not to say I don't love listening to Mother's Milk, but songs like 'Good Time Boys' and 'Stone Cold Bush' just sound awkward...
