Recommend some BOOTSY

I love Bootsy collins bass lines but i dont know much of his solo carreer. I download some songs it's groovy and all but i exptected more. Any bootsy fan can reccomend his better solo work here?

I downloaded the album with pinocchio theory and rubber duckie. Is this his best work?

Those 2 songs are from his cd Ahh The Name Is Bootsy which in my opnion is his baddest cd. You can't go wrong with any of his 1st 3 cd's so I would say grab them all, here are the titles:

Ya don't know Bootsy then ya don't know shyt 'bout P'Funk. He was a major contributor to the PFunk sound, coming in from the James Brown Band and he brought future PFunk All-Stars with him: Franky Kash, Maceo and Fred Wesley. Check him solo and with both of Clinton's groups. He used to tour as the PFunk opener, then would join them onstage. The Rubber Band horns were the same as the Horny Horns or PFunk Horns ( Trombone: Fred Wesley, Tenor & Alto Sax: Maceo Parker, Trumpet: Rick Gardner, Richard "Kush" Griffith), so they'd all be onstage too.

My fave Bootsy track is Munchies For Your Love, in fact it's probably one of the best tracks to come out of the whole PFunk Empire. You gotta hear it.

He didn't just play on those albums, Bootsy had a hand in creating most of the Parliament, Funkadelic and a number of spinoffs like Brides of Funkenstein until 1981. As Geprge doesn't play an instrument, he had to partner upwithe either Bootsy or Bernie Worrell (or both) to get a final track cut.

Bootsy does it all. Plays guitar bass keys and drums and usually worked out on allthese on track demos and he even owns patents on a number of bass designs (including his Mutron bass).
