Haven't gotten into them yet, maybe will at a later time.


Probably not, but they are ndeed very underrated.

Kool & the Gang, Before JT or after JT, (tell the truth)?


Who had the baddest horn section ever?


Do you like the Temptaions funky material better then their classic Motown material. Basically Ruffin Tempts or Dennis.?

LittleBLUECorvette said:

I like the pre-JT material and some of the early JT material.


There are a whole bunch of cool and badd horn sections, here's a couple that I dig

Ohio Players horn section
The Horny Horns
Punk Funk Horns
Tower Of Power Horns


I haven't listened to the Temptations enough to give you a proper answer

Also, he never dedicates an entire album to funk.

Plantlife's Return Of Jack Splash. Now that's a funky 2004 album. Great as a live band too! Whaddya think?

andymacfunky said:

Never heard of 'em.
I pretty much hate everything released after '83

Hey Funkenstien, lemme ask ya homeboy, ya got me wonderin, what got ya started listenin to funk music initially?

DadeCounty305 said:

I started listening to funk when I was about 16 or 17 years old. I've been into Prince for like uhm 12 years now or so and I stumbled upon this great website 'ere. I was a lurker at first, I read the posts of all these great old school funk cats, and whenever they mentioned a new act I looked it up and most of the time downloaded one or two songs, if possible, from eMule. Even before that, I had actually bought a couple of funk albums, or well, a couple of funk collections to be more precise. I had one by Rick James and Sly & The Family Stone 'n' somethin' else too but I can't recall what it was
Anyways, me getting into funk was kinda like natural progression. I got into Mike (solo) and Prince when I was younger and, in the case of Prince, I just went backwards in time and found all this great stuff that had influenced the lil fella when he was growing up. That's how I found my thang

Moarrrr!!1

Hey...

Uh, I got a few questions:

Of all the Marvin joints post-1971, what do you consider his most funkiest? And what of his late-period albums you think brought out the funk (In Our Lifetime or Midnight Love?)

Is there a possibility that "Shotgun" was the first funk song ever recorded (I think the song was released a few months before "Papa" though some may say James did it with "Outta Sight")?

Would you consider the Funk Brothers a funk band?

The Pointer Sisters or Labelle

----
That's all I can come up with at the moment.

Timmy84 said:

Well, In Our Lifetime has some cool funky cuts, like Ego Tripping Out


In all honesty, I must admit that 60's 'funk' is not my main area of expertise, so I can't give you a definite answer on that one.

The Funk Brothers are ndeed funky. Not a 'funk band' in the traditional sense, perhaps, but sho nuff funky. James Jamerson is just...


Haven't listened to either of 'em that much, so makes no difference to me

FuNkeNsteiN said:

Cool, thanks.

Timmy84 said:

You're welcome.
Started listening to In Our Lifetime on my iTunes library

FuNkeNsteiN said:

That's what's up parnter.

I'll throw ya a quick question...you know Slave is my favorite funk group, so I'm wondering how would ya rate their first six albums in order from top to bottom?

FuNkeNsteiN said:

COOL! That's what's up!

DadeCounty305 said:

Their first six albums are just pure magic, it's hard to rate them


Stone Jam
Show Time
Hardness Of The World
Just A Touch Of Love
The Concept
Slave

FuNkeNsteiN said:

I'm wit ya on the first two choices now, mine would go sumthin like:

Stone Jam
Show Time
The Concept
Just A Touch Of Love
Slave
Hardness Of The World

Another question...Do ya got any partners out there in Finland that share your same musical tastes?

DadeCounty305 said:

No love for Hardness, eh?

I exposed my girlfriend to the stuff I listen to and she likes some of it (she likes some Slave, Rick James, Brothers Johnson, Zapp, The Jacksons, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder...)
A drummer friend of mine (a very talented drummer, might I add) likes some funk stuff. We are both very fond of The Meters. We've been planning on getting together sometime and jammin' out to some Meters tunes
Another one of my friends also digs funk, and has a buttload of vinyl to boot
A Finnish orger (former orger) emmi, also dug the FONK.

Other than that, most Finns are all about metal. Funk fans are, unfortunately, very rare in these parts of the world.

One of y'all old school cats needs to create a thread similar to this one so I get to ask some questions too

Is Mandrill's Madrilland worthtracking down?

Romeoblu said:

Never heard that album, so dunno. I haven't heard anything the band have done after Just Outside Of Town, actually
Allmusic gives it 3/5 stars.

So is Just Outside of Town any good? I have Mandrill is and Composite Truth and think both are great.
