Which Parliament/Funkadelic/Clinton album should I get next?

Okay, I've recently been discovering Parliament, Funkadelic and Mr. Clinton.

I already have:

Maggot Brain
Cosmic Slop (I love this one!)
Mothership Connection (Ditto!)
Chocolate City
Up For The Down Stroke (not so made on this one)
George Clinton's Greatest Hits (how good is Last Dance?).

Anyway... what should I get next???

Im not really into their parliament stuff, my favourite funkadelic albums are Let's take it to the stage (no long jams just straight-up funkrock) and Standing on the verge of Getting it on(Eddy Hazel is back with a vengeance on this one.

One of the greatest albums ever recorded.
Get it. Now.
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.

I cosign that one as well. The only other one that I'd suggest as buying next, in case the record store doesn't have Funketelechy in stock, is Clones of Dr. Funkenstein.

I didn't mention it because it was already mentioned, but that would be my first suggestion, too.

Get them all! Just work your way through both catalogs of Parliament and Funkadelic then move on to the later George Clinton stuff.

Yeah, this one is all killer from the first to last second. Probably their best along with Mothership.

Pick up Bootsy's Stretchin' Out in a Rubber band after that...

Hey dude, you're missing the 3 best Parliament/Funkadelic albums ever made. First you get both Parliament's albums Funkatelechy vs. The Placebo Syndrome and The Motor Booty Affair. As for Funkadelic, the one and only One Nation Under A Groove. Listen to me and you'll be alright.
Peace and be wild!

2.Motor Booty Affair---Parliament
3.Gloryhallastoopid--- Parliament

Man, George Clinton was a genius!!!

Check out "Clones Of Dr. Funkenstein" - this is really excellent. Turn up the volume, and get down on the ONE
