The FRESH album by Sly Stone. Prince was right. (How often do you see me admit that?)
A few scattered favorites of mine: Little Miss Lover by the Jimi Hendrix Experience (Mitch Mitchell was such a beast) That Party by Harry Connick Jr. (hope he revisits that funk/rock period) If That's Your Boyfriend by Meshell 
Addicted by Truth Hurts Funky Weekend by Mint Condition Gosh, too many. I'll have to revisit this one. [This message was edited Wed Apr 7 10:15:36 2004 by ThreadBare] | |

Yeah,I know that "Radio Activity" isn't what most people would consider a typical "funk" song.It's more electro-funk than anything else (like Midnight Star's "Freak-A-Zoid" or "We Got The Juice" by Attitude),but you can't deny that it's funky...lol...maybe we should do a thread on those early 80s electro-funk type songs?
