Yeah....But what about the J.B.'s????? Yes, of course. Greater than Parliament/Funkadelic? Nah. P-Funk were much more versatile. P-Funk had a lot of ex JB members anyway, so they could play that "one the one" in their sleep. BUT, James wasn't about to fuck with any of the rock that P-Funk displayed.
