Favorite Funk LP's

[pickwick33]

Bohanon > Fatback =

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.
Bohannon = disco

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.

Somehow, I doubt it...Osmium (by Parliament) is just as wigged-out as the Funkadelic LP's on Westbound. And as far as the side-project thing goes, must be one of the longest side projects ever (1971-73: three Funkadelic albums, zero Parliament elpees).

Yeah, only if "Side Project" is a euphemism for getting around contractual obligations in order to put out music on multiple labels.

And I was labeled an essentialist in the other thread...

'Maybe the people don't want a journalist who "drinks maple syrup straight from the bottle" '

I inverted the use of single/double quotes in homage to J. Bennett Brower.

dennis coffy trio - hair and thangs
s.o.u.l. - what is it
the mohawks - the champ

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

SHOULDNT BE MENTIONED IN THE SAME BREATH AS THOSE ABOVE.

okay. please remove bill mason - gettin' off and replace it with:
dj quik - born and raised in compton. peace, stein. . .

oh and this:

the best funk group of the last 35 years

 

[SoulOnIce]

oh and this:

(absurdly huge image)

the best funk group of the last 35 years

Dude, I like the Make-Up and all, but that
statement is just ludicrous.

And, if Funkadelic is rock & not funk, so is James Knight.
(although I think both are funk, myself)

ricky vincent.

he can talk all day about pfunk and mainstream funk but knows very little about any small label groups. even folks from the bay area which he "says" he knows all about.

i laugh at him...

 

[anders_sthlm]

I know, sounds like some garage-rock fan who believes the Small Faces invented soul music.

Haha... let's also be clear on the fact that "35 years" takes us all the way back to 1972.

"Best funk LP since 1972!"

well you're right, I guess that's not a fair thing to say with "I Want Some" being a collection of singles and not actually a proper LP.

I am tempted to make a list of funk LPs that it is "better" than.

"Better than The Payback!"
