the funkiest songs by the commodores

contraery to the rumours the commodores were one of the funkiest bands ever.

their reputation at being more of a slow jams quiet storm music is because of some of the ballads that were mostly penned by lionel.
but a majority of the commodores catalog is very hard funk music.

i think thomas mcclary had the heavest funk rock riffs along with sugarfoot from ohio players,ernie isley,eddie hazel...
so the funkiest songs by the commodores:
hold on
free
thumpin' music
slippery when wet
look what you've done to me
cebu
get my mule
fancy dancer
squeeze the fruit
the bump
patch it up
fire
brick house
there are many more its incredible how much lionel richie sounded diffrent then today or in the 80's.
