The first 2 Ready For The World CDs. Top notch 80's synth soul/funk.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Midnight Vultures is a fantastic album. Definently has the Prince "vibe". Beck said he aimed for that as an homage to one of his favorite artists(Prince)

the FUNK-pioneers
To get a first impression of an artist catalogue, the "best-off-collections" are great. I think these are assential:

James Brown - Foundations Of Funk: A Brand New Bag: 1964-1969
James Brown - Funk Power 1970: A Brand New Thang
James Brown - Make It Funky: The Big Payback: 1971-1975

Parliament - 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection
Funkadelic - Music for Your Mother
Bootsy Collins - Glory B Da' Funk's on Me! The Bootsy Collins Anthology

Sly and the Family Stone - The Essential Sly & the Family Stone

Curtis Mayfield - People Get Ready: The Curtis Mayfield Story

Ohio Players - Funk on Fire: The Mercury Anthology
