Aww..that's adorable!!

Can't we just cut through all the rounds and declare Parliament/Funkadelic/George Clinton the winner?

sextonseven said:

It would save some time

sextonseven said:

Thank You....

Sounds good.....but I think I'd nominate James Brown the winner. All funk stems from James.

SteamForest said:

So,should it be a battle
between James Brown & P-Funk????

It would be a close one...but all of P-Funk/Funkadelic owe their funky existance to James.

SteamForest said:

True, but P-Funk did the funk a little better. That's why James' title is the 'Godfather of Soul' and not funk.

A think it would be a three-way tie between James, Sly and P-Funk. The one who invented it, the one who stewed it into an eclectic mix, and the one that elevated it into its own culture.

This is an absolutely great thread idea and I would love to participate but you have too many artists listed to vote off. I see some of my favorites listed in the list, so it definately would be fun. Unfortunately, the list is so long that I forget who is on it before I get ready to vote some off.

Cut it down to about 10 artists and it would be easier to vote off and more fun. After that, start another thread with about 10 more artists.

Yeah cuz I just heard the JB's Greatest Hits and got damn..... I said to myself WHY DONT I HAVE ANYTHING BY THESE GUYS!!!!!?????
James is the soul and inventor of the Funk so yeah I feel James should win....but P Funk took it to another level.

This thread should get a little harder

This would be a hard one for me, I think it's clearly a match between JB and P-Funk, everybody else bit a little something off them at some point in their music.

Abdul said:

, c'mon everybody, where's the love for SLY. Sly's just as important as P-funk, hell even George Clinton said that the family stone was the greatest funk band of all time.

jacktheimprovident said:

I love Sly and The Family Stone but to me JB and P-Funk's body of work put's them head and shoulders above everyone else in this FUNK VEIN we're talking!

jacktheimprovident said:

George is just too modest to say "I'm the greatest funkster of all time!"

SteamForest said:

Not entirely true. P-Funk owes as much as their sound to Hendrix AND Sly, not just James. I know P-Funk had a grip of fellow JB's, though.

blackguitaristz said:

Exactly. You tell'em BG baby.

Hotlegs said:

Thanx, sweetness.

JB became mo' funky when two young brothers
William "Bootsy" Collins & Bernie"The Wizzard of Woo" Worrell
joined.

mrwigglesdaw1rm said:

Actually you're thinking of Catfish Collins. He and Bootsy were part of the Pacemakers, who replaced James Brown's original famous flames when they mutinied. Bernie Worrell was a member of George Clinton's Funkadelic before George even met Bootsy (oh and he and Bootsy aren't related )

SteamForest said:

I vote Justin Timberlake the winner

sermwanderer said:

At least choose someone on the list like Apollonia 6.

Make the survivor shorter and i'll definitely be up for this. Say 20 artists or so. Seems everyone has conflicting views already on who is the most important. Though i would split Funkadelic/Parliament/Bootsy up.

"u R wright mY Brother "

Literally

"Oh Hell Nah. Your Funk Pass is being revoked for that statement.

WildheartXXX said:

For yall who didn't know yet, I did make the list shorter. You can go to the new FUNK Survivor here.

It already has some votes, so you all can continue over there. You still have plenty of time to vote.
