The 1990s were known for acts such as Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rage Against the Machine. After over a period of time where the genre had died down in popularity, Audioslave revived the genre with the release of their 2006 album Revelations.
The top funk rock releases as rated by RYM!

Best genre of music IMO!

pretty sad when Audioslave is the band that revives a scene.

Does Grand Funk count as Funk Rock?

Of course, we all know the story of funk, right?

Love me the funk rock, across the board.

How is that Bootsy Collins album overall?

I got it when it was first released but never got around to listening to it.

Mrd00d 09-19-2011 02:07 PM
I think the whole album is excellent. It's one of the best releases of the year in my book. And I'm not even a huge funk junkie, either, but I still jam to all the tracks, even the ones where its just funk with monologues on top (Rev. Al Sharpton, Samuel L. Jackson)

Surely an early candidate for Funk Rock?:

I post this all around MB but if the RHCP ever got half as close then they would be my favourite band:

and this damn beauty:
