Top 10 Parliament/Funkadelic/Clinton funk jams? I'm talking about the funk workouts, so I've purposely omitted some of the more rock-orientated Funkadelic material such as Cosmic Slop and Maggot Brain. Here's my top 10 P-funk jams: 1. Flashlight 2. Bop Gun (Endangered Species) 3. PFunk 4. Cool Joe 5. Sir Nose D'void of Funk 6. One Nation Under A Groove 7. Quickie 8. Paradigm 9. Funkentelechy 10. Handcuffs | |

Give up the funk 8. Cosmic Slop (I know its a rock workout, but it is funky!) 9. Sir Nose D'void of the funk 10. What is love (Song on the 1970 Youtube video where Clinton has the Mr T haircut) Extra Jam - Up for the Down Stroke.

OK, I am just going to try to pick 10 great ones I don't think anyone else has yet.
One Nation (12-inch version) Good to Your Earhole The Goose (Up for the Downstroke album version) Disco to Go (Brides) Four Play (Horny Horns) Big Footin' Let's Play House Mathematics (fast version off TOPOAFOAM) Hideous Mutant Freaks (off Axiom Funk set) Shake Like T. Mofo (J.S. Theracon aka Junie) Time Was (Events in the Elsewhere) (Bernie Worrell)
If you've got funk, you've got style. | |

Funkentelechy is THE SHIT Bootsy is playing parts of dang near the exact bass line on one of JB's side girl projects from the late 60's. For the life of me I can't remember which one though. You definitely wanna hear it. I'll post the song when it comes to me. It was so uncanny when I first heard it I said wait a minute, that's Funkentelechy. |

So many good ones. What you need is a top 50 with them. Like a Billboard chart. Then you could switch "formats", greatest rock jams, etc. A band with such a multi-faceted talent. |

Anyone mention Cholly (Funk Getting Ready to Roll)? That is another great. If you've got funk, you've got style. | |

Apart from the fact that no one, by any stretch of the imagination, could call Maggot Brain a funk jam, that's an excellent list, Fred! | |

I'm seeing GC & Pfunk in London at a festival on Saturday afternoon. They have an hour timeslot, so will be interesting to see what songs they play to get the party started. Not even sure if they'll hit 10 tracks but if I can remember what they do I'll post here after! [Edited 7/14/16 15:41pm] | |
