Billy Jack Bitch.

Why?

Those synths that sounds like what electronic snakes would sound like if they existed, reminds me of the analogy dirty synths from the 70's. The other standout insturment is the organ which whirls along the melody line- awesome stuff. Then theres the background vocals the "whoaaas" the "Billy Jack Bitch" parts that reminds me of sick P-funk stuff.

Bitch.

his funkiest album is The Funk Bible...the new testament.

His funkiest tracks are Le Grind and Rock Hard in a funky place.

I think you may have something there!

I love that track, really do. Probly my favorite next to Boom on that album. But I would consider it a straight up rock song, tbh. (That doesn't mean you have to, lol.)

I do think "$" is funky.

Prince has really covered the funk spectrum and clearly some of them don't sit well with others. I personally wouldn't put the JB-esque "The Work" on a compilation w/, say, "Days of Wild", but they're both "funkier than a sack of granddaddies" (as P used to say). Some of my faves are:
The Exodus Has Begun
Days of Wild/Prince and the Band
Freaks On This Side
Laydown
1+1+1=3
F.U.N.K.
Return Of The Bump Squad
Get Wild
Push It Up
Ol School Company
Face Down
Now
Billy Jack Bitch
We Can Funk (any version)
Chelsea Rodgers (yeah I said it!)
DMSR
Prettyman
Partyman
anything live

Also, I always thought the end of the extended versions of LaLaLa HeHeHe, Theives In The Temple and Partyman are funky and the end of Everyday Is A Winding Road.
Oh and The Daisychain.

I'll stop now!
Also, as well as

The Compromise Theory:
Based on my analysis, I believe the government faked the plane crash and demolished the WTC North Tower with explosives.
The South Tower, in a simultaneous but unrelated plot was brought down by actual terrorists.
Is it a deal?

The absolute best for me would be Housequake, but there are so many more that are nearly as good. Housequake has everything a great funk track needs, a tight badass beat, chicken scratch bass, sassy lyrics and a James Brown like feel and most importantly he sounds like he is having fun doing it.

So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time

Prince I will always miss and love U.

Hide The Bone

Billy Jack Bitch

Days O' Wild

I'd go with that list, although would swap BJB and DOW around for a 1-2-3. Surprised how few times 'Hide the Bone' is mentioned in thislist - definitely a 'funk face' song...

Come -Beautiful Experience version- also deserves a mention!

Lately, I've been hooked on Sexy Dancer, especially the long version.

And how come the people, who say other folks don't know what funk is, never name the song titles they're referring to? neutral
You mean you're gonna actually hear what we play tonight? You're not gonna make up the notes in your mind?
