More danceable than Funkadelic ... but I guess we are kinda splitting hairs here. I put them in my latin section for whatever reason. "Heartbeat" is a nice jam (among their many).what about the group WAR? is that funk? peace, stein. . .

"Funk is a many splendored thing. Funk is a nasty vibe, and a sweet sexy feeling; Funk is funkiness, a natural release of the essence within. Funk is a high, but it is also down at the bottom, the low-down earthy essence, the bass elements. Funk is at the extremes of everything. Funk is hot, but funk can be cool. Funk is primitive, yet funk can be sophisticated. Funk is a way out, and a way in. Funk is all over the place. Funk is a means of release that cannot be denied."

"Funk is whatever it needs to be, at the time that it is."

None of this has to be mutually exclusive. Funkadelic's Maggot Brain is in my mind an amazing funk record and the greatest black rock record of all time. All these terms work a whole lot better when used as adjectives instead of categories.
Wow, what is up with the Strut and semantics today?

damn, stein....forgot about those. i am resubmitting my entry...S.o.u.l. is my favorite funk LP pretty easily...more than meters first or superfly stk. "the champ" is a very close second ("beat me till im blue" is some adrenalin shot,without a doubt). so so so so ill. hair and thangs not as close, but so dope.

bill mason - gettin' off it's an ok record.... also that Chandler solo album is not bad at all
Excellent--and I see that they are all available on DustyGroove! We've never heard funk grooves like this before! A potent batch of simmering floorfillers! Among the best albums ever by Richard "Groove" Holmes! Tons of baroque touches!
Since nobodys mentioned one yet, I'll start with this:
It's basically rare and/or previously unreleased stuff by George Semper and it's very solid. A bit eclectic perhaps, a couple of tunes are maybe more disco/modern than funk, but there are no fillers imo. Check it out if you haven't.
what about that first Cameo record?
As far as the Parliament/Funkadelic argument, I was always under the impression that Funkadelic was a 'side' project to Parliament for them to explore their rock stylings. (not saying they weren't funky, mind you) And surprised no one has mentioned this:
the break down on the title track in fraking bananas
Song out tonight
Oh, my soul is out tonight
There's a song out tonight
Y'all, come on

I like the fatback band I just don't think people music is that good. That being said I don't know how far I would ride for Bohannon either.Bohanon > Fatback =
