If you don't have them already get the 3 essential Parliament albums to hear GC at his peak:

Mothership Connection
The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein
Funkentelechy vs. The Placebo Syndrome


GC's solo stuff is a bit hit and miss for me. Lots of filler to wade through to get to the good stuff.
If you like the more 'synthesizer' sounding funk check out Zapp.

Zapp/Roger Troutman
This is the album I was referring to

Have a listen to the sample of 'More Bounce to the Ounce' it's their most famous song.

I recently bought my first George Clinton Album "Computer Games". My god this album is funky, it is now in my top ten favourite albums. What do you all think of this album and can you recommend any other G.C. Albums I should get.

Pill, now you're talking. The R& B Skeletons In The Closet is one of my personal favorites b/c its has classics like Do Fries Go With That Shake. Also, it features Vanessa Williams on vocals.

Also check out Dope Dogs and The Awesome Power of A Fully Operational Mothership better known as T.A.P.O.A.F.O.M ...this is a great lp.


Dope Dogs contains Dog Star and Some Next Shit. Two tracks that will blows you away.

Many dog Cinderella Theory but I found it funky,.

Rita Bewitched, Credit Card, Airbound, Tweakin' , Why Should I Dog U Out? ,French Kiss lots of good tracks.

Now avoid Hey Man Smell My Finger...two many outsiders in the mix.

Theory had it moments.....The 12 inch version of "Tweakin'" is better than the album version....

Agree about "Hey Man! Smell My Finger" overproduced & way too many outsiders....."Martial Law" could've been a classic, if Clinton sang the song, instead of rappini the lyrics...
