However, I might bring a copy of Journeys to Glory or True to make things more interesting. NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

That's what I meant by the statement preceeding the list. And I agree witih the TTD comment also. They're the same person, wtf. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

http://www.soundclick.com...rmusic.htm The names that I didn't cut and paste should be under the "Funk" artist catagory. I will admit there were some people like Cymande (?) that I have no idea about. But I will co-sign on James Brown & Parliment/Funkadelic (and all their off shoot groups Brides, Parlet, etc.) I kind of put Sly in the pop/rock category, but that's just me. I just wanted to point out that people like Janet Jackson and the Jets should not in any way shape or form be on an "ultimate funk artist" list. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sly is difinitely not cheesy 60's radio pop. They were a funky group, but I wouldn't classify them as a "Funk" group. Dig? "If You Want Me To Stay" is my favorite Sly song. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Who says a Funk band can't play Rock" - Funkadelic I think you summed up your own post with the line from Parliment/Funkadelic song title. But the Jets are not a funk group, Freddie Jackson is not funk, Janet Jackson is not funk, Jackson 5 is not funk, and so on. I'm not talking about artist influences, I'm, talking about actual musicial output. Most of the groups I re-posted about were R&B or Pop groups. If you want to base this discussion solely on artist influences than you may as well say Michael Bolton is a funk artist becuase he was influenced by The Isley Bros. ...

I was only responding specifically to what you said about Sly's roots(not the other stuff about Janet and the other Pop/r&B groups)...
Earlier, you said that you agreed P-funk was one of the top Funk Groups, but that you would put Sly Stone in a more Pop/Rock bag. My point was just that you could say similar things about about P-funk, but there's no denying their place in the Funk pyramid. so Sly Stone is definitely one of the cornerstones of Funk as we know it. James lit the fire, Sly took it to another level, George Clinton took it from there... Sly made Miles Davis , Hendrix , Herbie Hancock AND George Clinton all delve more seriously into The Funk...They all wanted to Funk like Sly... ...
