 Funk-rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Funk Rock sometimes crosses or overlaps Rap-Rock, especially in the sounds of 311, Rage Against The Machine, Rehab, Linkin Park, among others.
It is also not unusual to hear copious doses of sampling and remixing used in Funk Rock.
However, Funk Rock will always be set apart from Hip-Hop by more melodic lyrics backed by rock music with a bass line that makes you want to get your groove on.

 Funk Rock: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com
As one might expect, traditional funk is well represented: Sly and the Family Stone's "Trip to Your Heart" bookends a vocal-harmony enhanced groove with some free-form psychedelic weirdness and Cymande alternates fluid guitar solos and airy flute lines over a relentless bass line … More »
In between these two poles, Funk Rock also throws in some oddities that fit the compilation's style: one of the best is Buddy Miles ' version of "Down By the River," which re-imagines the Neil Young classic as a smoky, Memphis soul-style ballad anchored by a moody, thick bass line.
All in all, Funk Rock delivers on the promise of its title from start to finish and is well worth the time for funk scholars in search of some unique grooves.

 Canadian Classic Rock - Grand Funk Railroad Biography
One of the 1970s' most successful hard rock bands in spite of critical pans and somewhat reluctant radio airplay (at first), Grand Funk Railroad built a devoted fan base with constant touring, a loud, simple take on the blues-rock power trio sound, and strong working-class appeal.
While radio shied away from Grand Funk Railroad, the group's strong work ethic and commitment to touring produced a series of big-selling albums over the next few years; five of their eight releases from 1969 to 1972 went platinum, and the others all went gold.
Following that album, the band's name was officially shortened to Grand Funk, and the group finally scored a big hit single (number one, in fact) with the title track of the Todd Rundgren-produced We're an American Band.
