Essential funk... This question has been posed a million times, so I'm sorry, but here it comes again...
Give me your five essential funk albums. Whenever I hear good funk on a party I'm very very happy, but sadly enough, I never know the names of the artists. I'd like to go out and buy some essential stuff. So give me the essential ones. And be specific. Not just 'Bootsy Collins', but which Bootsy? | |

The Ohio Players - Fire
Slave - Stone Jam Sly & The Family Stone - There's A Riot Goin' On Parliament - Funkentelechy Vs The Placebo Syndrome Bootsy Collins - Stretchin' Out In Bootsy's Rubber Band It's very hard to narrow them down to just five [Edited 8/29/06 12:59pm] It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Only five? No fair!!! 
Seriously, there's really more than 5 that I would consider essential(but that's me)---it's tough though, I don't even know if I could narrow mine to 10.....well, here are some:

Yeah, 5 is crazy.
James Brown Live At The Apollo (I pick this because James and his band were playing live and still fucking it up and turning it out, which is what funk and playing live in general, should be all about) Sly & The Family Stone - Stand! Parliament - Mothership Connection Ohio Players - Fire Bootsy - Stretchin' Out Man, I HATE lists! But I posted anyway. How do I leave off "Livin It Up" by The Isley's ? I can't! And sooooo may other "essential" funk albums. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

I bought 'Mothership connection' today, because this was one of the records mentioned the most often on this thread. I already bought some James Brown and Herbie Hancock earlier, so I guess we can call it a start ! | |
