Funk Rock

I will have to wait awhile myself, as to reflect more on the music and the subject concerning these two bands, I will take a wild guess

that the RHCP's might have the most going for them, and then again, I could be surprised and find out that Lenny Kravitz could be the more talented band of the two?
Like I stated, I will give my opinion later on, into the thread.

I'm not entierly sure why you chose to match these two, but thats not the point.

Obviously RHCP has a much larger back catalog. Though I think Maroon 5 is flying well below the national radar. The second album was sustained but I think that new song Misery is just as good as the first few hits they had. I expect really good things from them in the future.

I say this because I know MB and their going to **** all over M5, but I don't think its deserved.

Theres not a whole lot of Funk Rock bands that I am very familiar with to be honest, one of the reasons I posted this thread was so maybe I might learn something more about the genre, what other funk rock band would be a better comparison to the RHCPs?, maybe we could get a moderator to change the Title of the thread

Nah, just go with it at this point. But silence around here means they were so offended by the comparison that they aren't even weighing in. If anyone else answers, its going to be an RHCP tidal wave.

Yeah, I agree.
It will all be RHCPs all the way.., I was just hoping there would be a few Maroon 5 fans that would post and give an opinion, oh well..we'll see.

Well the issue M5 have is that they have some radio friendly songs. I don't know what about the dive-bar crowd means you can't like the radio, but you know me, i still think they're rebelling against their authoritative fathers.

I think their a band to watch. 10 years from now, it will be interesting to see where they end up.

Necromancer · 09-03-2010, 05:26 PM

I will take a wild guess

that the RHCP's might have the most going for them as far as more fan's, but in my personal opinion, I think that Lenny Kravitz is the more talented artist and has the best music of the two.
Lenny Kravitz's career took off in '91, and the RHCP's started in 1983/84.
I dont think that the RHCP's are even close to Kravitz, in any genre or era period.

So..a moderator might as well close this thread! End Of Story.

YouTube - Lenny Kravitz, :"It Ain't Over Till It's Over"

YouTube - Lenny Kravitz, "I Belong To You"

Im glad you mentioned the next 10 years Big3, I like maybe 3 0r 4 of their song's so far, I would like to see them produce some good music in the future, I might mention, Maroon 5 has great stage presence.
(Is your pick for Lenny Kravitz Big3) ? over The Red Hot Chli Peppers.

Posted this in 'Latest album downloaded' thread and sad that it didn't get more responses especially regarding this thread. This IS Funk Rock to the max. Sensational track. 70's Funk Rock FTW.

That's an excellent song, Jackhammer. It's about as bluesy as it is funky though, no?
