Andre 3000's The Love Below! Too bad you have to shell out $20 dollars to buy the whole Speakerboxxx/The Love Below set.  Check me out and add me on:

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. | |

... rooty basement jaxx 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 | |
