So many different eras and sounds to choose from in the whole P-Funk movement. Each with a distinctive flavor all its own. I would start with my "Holy Trinity" of Parliament records:
Mothership Connection Funkentelechy Vs The Placebo Syndrome Motor Booty Affair Also just go to YouTube and type in any of the bands. All kinds of audio and video will come up. Then just go off from there. Do some research and see what direction you wanna go in. All in all you've got over 60 some odd albums to choose from. Good luck and ever fonk-N on bobba.

Anyone ever get into the early P-Funk, when they were the Parliaments? Singing R&B and soul in the mid-60s (and earlier, I believe their first single was in 1959.) PRINCE: Always and Forever
MICHAEL JACKSON: Always and Forever ----- Live Your Life How U Wanna Live It | |

only if to you a 'song' must always be verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus-chorus-chorus...
Has anyone tried unplugging the United States and plugging it back in? | |

The first single was Party Boys/Poor Willie in 1958. Classic doo-wop. I have it on a compilation LP called Vital Juices. A lot of later P-Funk songs can be traced back to these early days when George was a songwriter/producer. Like I'll Bet You, originally released by Theresa Lindsay on Golden World Records in 1968. It's classic 60s soul, but with a rougher edge than Motown. I love it.Oh and if you like the earlier stuff, try and find the two Ruth Copeland LPs, although that won't be easy. | |

In the late 80s, friends that knew I was into Prince kept suggesting I check out P-Funk. I heard a few things but nothing really clicked. I was digging on Cinderella Theory too, but obviously that one didn't help me see the genius. Then late one night sometime in '92 I tuned my radio to the local college stations Psychedelic Salon show and heard: "If you will suck my soul, I will lick your funky emotion", and was mesmerized for the next 9 minutes. The DJ (who is now an old friend of mine) named the song (Mommy, What's A Funkadelic?), and the next day I purchased the album 'Funkadelic' and my journey was begun. Don't hate your neighbors.

I love that first Funkadelic album. I played it once to an old rocker and he said, "you call this funk, I call this blues". True. It's their most blues-oriented album. But this blues doesn't come from the Mississippi delta, but from outer space! And yes, if something doesn't click, try again later. I keep rediscovering the P funk all the time. I also love the live shows, they just go on and on and on and that groove just creeps and crawls inside of you until you become one with... The One.  [Edited 1/12/16 9:32am] | |

I first got into it in the 7th grade. We had heard Give Up The Funk a couple of years earlier but at that point I was into the whole K-Tel compilation vibe of music. The songs were more important to me than the artist. Then one day I happen to turn on the radio and catch this tune about half way thru. My young ears would never be the same. It changed whole ideas about what music was and could be. I had to ask myself how is it possible for something to actually sound like this. For the next 2 weeks I kept my ears to the radio hoping to hear the whole song until one day at about 3 in the afternoon I did. This jam was like nothing I had heard before ever. I couldn't tell what the funk was going on, was it a bass, what kinds of instruments were making these sounds? The song as you might have guessed was Flashlight. Been funkin air since and to this day when I hear that song it takes me back to the day I first heard it and I still hear something slightly different whenever it plays. George will tell you their records you might not "get" until years after it comes out. Funk Gets Stronger, it will sit and sit and never go sour. To me, Montreaux 2004 came off as one of the weaker performances. Montreaux 2001 blew me out and there is a cd of that floating around called Paradigm 2001.

no one seems to have mentioned 'the clones of dr funkenstein' that would be my 3rd album in the trio of p-funk classics with mothership and funkentelechy. Ps. 'i just got back' is a beautiful song. | |

"they do not actually write songs".....Sorry, but that's a big load of B.S....I've been to many acoustic guitar/piano/percussion jam sessions where we've played MANY Funkadelic (and Parliament/Bootsy) songs. No synths, horns, huge drumsets, etc. Just those instruments and the songs. | |

But it is not the one I recommend for a newbie to kick off with. I believe that record has aged better than all of 'em. The horn charts and smooth, warm feel of the production. Interesting and artful effort with no real monster smash off it. Different folks I've introduced the album to have come away from it with a diverse opinion and not always good. But it is my personal fave, the most consistent recording of what Parliament actually was. |

Finally found a greatest hits collection which is called Parliament Gold with 2 discs covering the period 1974 (Up for the down stroke) up to 1980s Agony of defeet. . Searching dozens of stores here, this all I could find in Real Groovy the best store in Auckland. Really interesting songs. Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |

They are AWESOME!!!!!  Start with Mothership Connection and One Nation Under A Groove Then move on to the P-Funk Live Earth Tour Album Then you can go two ways 1) Dig up all their early 70's psychedelic infused stuff. This includes albums like Maggot Brain, Free Your Mind, Funkadelic self titled, Cosmic Slop, Hardcore Jollies, Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On and Osmium. (you probably need to listen to Maggot Brain, the song, ASAP and tell us what you think of it) or 2) Listen to all their funky party stuff like Up For The Down Stroke, Uncle Jam Wants You, Funketelechy vs The Placebo Syndrome, Motor Booty Affair, Electric Spanking Of War Babies, Funk or Walk, all of George Clinton's solo projects from the 80's. And you can dig up ol' Bootsy Collins' stuff too since he's in the same boat as P-Funk! Just know that whichever way you go with this band you CANNOT GO WRONG! :-D P.S. a whole lot of their lyrics are based on what we P-Funkateers like to call "P-Funk Mythology" . I would recommend to read about first (i think there's a Wikipedia article on it) or you wont know who Sir Nose d'Voidoffunk is! | |
