Seriously, yall can't be sleepin on Rick James and Zapp & Roger

Superfreak?
More bounce?

...and the almighty Dance Floor?


Also, don't sleep on the jacksons. Cuts like Can You Feel It, and my current favorite Jacksons tracks, "everybody, " and "lovely one"

Check my post, Militant. I mentioned Oscar Alston (he played bass for Rick James).
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.

Most of Off The Wall had great, funky basslines.
I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired!

Isn't Another One Bites the Dust's bass line a rip off of Chic's Good Times?
Personally . I think we are all Boring with No Lives cause all we do is talk about Prince,Criticize and Gossip. I need a Horny Man is what I Need and probably so do most of yas. We are Sexually Frustrated what we R... Amen..!!! - zelaire

Grand Black Citizin by The Urban Dance Squad

One of the most criminally underrated cross-over bands (think about artists like Fishbone, Living Colour and Rage against the machine)
