What???!!!! No mention of P-funk by Parliament?! What's the world coming to??!!!

Edit: Whoops, looks like Boba_C beat me to it...

 

[BigSmooth]

Hey, I said it was a SAMPLING! I have "Atomic Dog" and a couple other Funkadelic songs, man!

 

[Isla]

Tiger... Cool, that is one of the best. Hey, you have your own icon now!

bigsmooth... oh,yeah! I love them all. They don't make music like that anymore... good stuff. Funk always gets me moving, guess it's in my blood or something.

Don't forget Fire--- Ohio Players...

Oh, BTW, Chaka Khan is THE woman, don't forget that.

 

[HayZeus 2000]

Well, now I feel a little better. A person who lists Marvin Gaye has got to have some Parliament love in their hearts somewhere...

 

[Isla]

Well, I guess I will have to learn some new things...

George Clinton, eh?

Bring it on, I love this stuff.

If you come over and clean my floors, I will let you listen to my entire funk collection.

Wear that barefoot outfit you described on another thread and maybe Ill give you my entire collection.

 

[billandopus]

Ok, that's it.

Anyone heard of Maceo Parker? Lead Sax player for James Brown ... when JB says "Maceo, I want you to blow ..." that's who he is referring to.

Maceo Parker - Planet Groove, Track one and two especially. "Shake Everything You Got" and "Pass the Peas"

"2% Jazz, 98% Funky Stuff!"

Guaranteed Funk!

 

[BigSmooth]

For newer funk, I like Tower of Power, they have a great horn section, check out "What is Hip" and "Funk the Dumb Stuff"!

Isla, Take a listen to WFNK.

 

[Isla]

Oh, denali, I am now in heaven! Now I can read the board AND groove.

thebestMax, Mr Isla HATES funk, so I may have to come clean your house and listen to your collection, especially if Gore wins and I get kicked out.

If gore wins by one vote, Ill help him.
