I know this has probably been done here before , but I was wondering what people's favorite Parliament/ Funkadelic tracks were, including Pfunk All stars, Bootsy, Brides , Eddie, Bernie, Mutiny and any other offshoots...

(Not Just) Knee Deep
Theme From The Black Hole
Aqua Boogie
Undisco Kid

What's A Telephone Bill
Hollywood Squares
I'd Rather Be With You

I'm more into earlier Funkadelic, than Parliament/P-Funk's later stuff. I guess I just love Funkadelic's more guitar-heavy, rock sound. Anyway, here are a few faves:

Loose Booty
Maggot Brain
Super Stupid
Funky Dollar Bill
Biological Speculation
Cosmic Slop
Nappy Dugout
You Can't Miss What You Can't Measure
Standing on the Verge of Getting it On
Red Hot Mama
Jimmy's Got a Little Bit of Bitch in Him
Let's Take it to the Stage
Get Off Your Ass and Jam
No Head no Backstage Pass

any thoughts about the motor city madness compilation they just put out. i haven't really heard much of the old stuff and was thinking of buying it, though i'll probably get maggot brain first. not always a great fan of double disc compilations to get me started with unfamiliar material as i usually find them overlong, preferring original albums as the band's statement of art (with the notable exception of P's the hits, which got me here).

Too many.More of a funkadelic man myself.Let's see.

I don't have that compilation (maybe my husband does though ) I'll have to check. Anyway, you HAVE to have Maggot Brain in your collection. Start with that and also get Cosmic Slop, Standing on the Verge of Getting it On, Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow, and well, pretty much all of Funkadelic's earlier stuff (thier earlier music is just a personal preference though). It is more guitar oriented and there isn't a horn section as with P-Funk. Much more hard rock/funk sounding. There is some amazing music on all of those albums, so it's hard for me to pick just one or two albums.

Hey Mark,the 2cd motor city madness is a great place play to start.The earlier material sounds better then the regular cd's(Good remastering & Book)Only 1 or 2 songs are edit's too.

Its a good collection with a few glaring omissions such as "Let's Take It To The Stage".I cant imagine why they left that or "What Is Soul" off. On the other hand , the remastering is great and they seem to have "corrected" some problems with the title track from "Free Your Mind..."

Id recommend it to a newbie...but youd still wanna pick up the first and third albums.("Funkadelic" & "Maggot Brain")

looks like I'll get the compilation then. is this the start of an upcoming reissue program for the early albums then? if so I'll wait before i buy individuals.
thanks, and sorry for hijacking the thread

Red Hot Mamma/Vital Juices -this is actually all one recording split up into two parts for the origial album and 45 release( Vital Juices was called an "instrumental" B side), I think Westbound should have put the complete, unedited version out for the CD reissue...maybe one day...

Soul Mate - another tune that got edited down, just as Eddie hazel was just getting going...I recently heard an unedited version that's been circulating...again, westbound should have released the full version...

Standing on the Verge
Cosmic Slop
Flash Light
PFunk-wants To Get Funked Up
Comin' Round The Mountain ( Buddy Miles on the drum kit)
Maggot Brain( Hazel Version)

Mothership Connection( If you hear any noise)
Bootzilla
The Motor Booty Affair
Ick a Prick
Happy to Have ( Happiness On Our Side)- Bernie Worrell
Placebo Syndrome

Yeah, they were Deep! I think that too many people dismiss p funk as having nonsense lyrics, when actually there are some incredibly profound themes running through their stuff( " If You Don't Like the effects , don't produce the cause")

But Placebo Syndrome was a song I had to rediscover. When the album first came out, I was too busy checking out Flashlight, Bop Gun, and Sir Nose D'voidofunk...when I checked it out again years later, It quickly became one of my favorites...
