Guilty Pleasure Music

[BenoA]

Jazz and classical music. I installed the app "jazzradio.com" in my iPhone and listen to the "Cool Jazz" channel on the weekends. "Songza" ain't bad either to discover some jazz and classical music.

Jazz, classical guitar songs, fusion, blues, nearly anything youd expect your average 16 year old to hate.
Ill listen to most anything if I enjoy it.

Specially when it comes to all the "wave" and electronic bands.
Of course prodigy has certain punk-ish tunes, a nod to their roots.
A lot of confusion comes because after the classic punk, post-punk/new wave started using a lot of afro-american, caribbean and euro electronic music influences.... and since the 90's the focus went totally on funk beats and dub/reggae sounds, specially in UK. Of course some old-schoolers used them too, like The Clash... or Bad Brains did many reggae tunes.
Rip Rig + Panic sounded very far away from classic punk from the start, they influenced the whole Bristol sound which Smith & Mighty generated and Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead etc. conquered the world with. Whole thing was about sounding dark and moody but Tricky did many punk-ish tunes too and some of the later Massive Attack tunes were quite metallic.

Yeah, see I'm in Calfiornia, I really don't know much of what you're talking about. I agree with where you said most of those bands were heading towards back in those days, but I didn't really pay much attention. That's when I was getting into Fungo Mungo and Mike Patton stuff, more specifically Mr. Bungle and Buckethead and the weird directions that music over here was heading... which was quite a bit different than over your side of the lake. I was getting into some of the euro-bands I mentioned back then, but all I had to go on was word of mouth, late night college radio programming and getting lucky finding stuff at the used independent section at the local record/CD store.

Certain things from California influenced some of the best beat slicers in the business. All that crazy UK jungle stuff is kind of like linear funk which comes from Bay Area, created by drummers like Mike Clark (from Herbie Hancock's Headhunters) and David Garibaldi (Tower of Power).
