im on a kick lately... and i thought a change of pace from the dreary grunge and pretentious indie bullshit that dominates this place might be a damn good thing. anyone like a little fun(k) with their music around here anymore? can you all stop furrowing your brows with the weight of the fucking world and how hard it is being as deep as you for an hour to maybe enjoy yourself, crack a smile and shake that ass? i know stone is with me on this one!

Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker)- Parliament
Superstition- Stevie Wonder
Brick House - The Commodores

Super Freak- Rick James
I Got You (I Feel Good)- James Brown

You need to stick some Mighty Imperials in there, the Thunder Chicken album is awesome.

Also Harlem Underground if you can find it, gotta love Smokin Cheeba Cheeba.:)

and i was about to start believing that this place really doesn't have much cool people... then i read this post that makes me change my mind...

LedZepFan

it's all about sly man...

as far as george clinton's stuff goes i do prefer those early 70s Funkadelic albums though

curtis mayfield and the temptations, though most would just consider them soul, also had some awesome funky tunes

DaytimeDilemma

Give me the Meters or give me death.

chiquimonkey

play that funkay music white boiieeee

and hell yes, about damn time there was some props given to funk. i've tried bringing it up in this forum along with soul, old school R&B, and it goes down like a cheap ho

and i love blasting sly in my car on a hot sunny day with the windows rolled down, it just says summer to me

The baseline in Superstiton is one of the greatest if not the greatest baseline of all time.

given the fact that my husband is a bass player, stands to reason why i enjoy it so.
