I was just listening to some old Royal Crescent Mob today. Spin the World, was released in 1989. I like a lot of the music from that era. The punk funk fusion of bands like 24-7 Spyz, Momma Stud, Red Hot Chilipeppers, and the RC Mob were banging it up, with funk bass, punk guitar and rap/rock lyrics. It was a nice time, and the music had a good natured feel to it.
The scene was throbbing with heavy bass and punk/metal guitar riffs.
Here are some of my faves from 20 years ago:
Royal Crescent Mob- Spin the World
24-7 Spyz- Gumbo Millenium
Fishbone- Bonin' in the Boneyard
Red Hot Chili Peppers- Blood Sugar Sex Magic
I thought it was THE FUTURE of music. I thought ALL music would sound like this. The real breakout bands from that era were Red Hot Chili Peppers and Faith No More. They had a little staying power.
But tastes change. Good music lives on. I thought Momma Stud was going to be THE next big thing. I was wrong. Still sounds great however. Listen to some older cd's and expand your mind. See where we THOUGHT music was going at one time. You just may enjoy it!
