Funk Rock

I always liked these two singles by Janes Addiction back in the 80s, Janes Addiction's style of music helped define and expand Funk Rock, of course the RHCPs are the prime example of the 80s Funk Rock.

YouTube - Jane's Addiction - Jane Says

YouTube - Jane's Addiction - Been Caught Stealing (Video)

The Isley Brothers, in my opinion were along beside Funkadelic/Parliament as a major influence to the development of Funk Rock in the 70s.

YouTube - LIVIN' IN THE LIFE - THE ISLEY BROTHERS (1977)

YouTube - The Isley Brothers - Fight The Power (Part 1 & 2) (1975)

YouTube - CLIMBIN' UP THE LADDER PTS. 1 & 2 - ISLEY BROTHERS (1977)

And this one by Wild Cherry in 1976 is a little more of the Funk Rock/Disco style, but none the less, a big Funk Rock influence.
