Basically anything Larry thumped out! clapping

"Got To Go Through It To Get To It," "I Belive In You" and "Today" are the shit, too! headbang

"Spaced Cowboy" is another favorite of mine.

Not to mention Larry's replacement Rusty Allen's work on the Small Talk album.

Hooray that somebody metioned "Today". One of the greatest songs ever. It's like "Beatles P-Funk".

Square Biz by Teena Marie, Waterline by A Certain Ratio and King Size by Haircut 100 come to mind.

What? who says that this has to be exclusively Jazz, Funk and Disco songs?

I'm sorry for not reading all the other replys. On a time frame remember!!!! Most of the replies already written show a limitted exposure. I have heard it al Buy and then listen to "27 MIllion Valdez". After listening to it, Let's talk FUNK!

THAT IS THE NASTIEST BASSLINE EVER. NOBODY'S EVER TOPPED IT. BERNIE WORRELL IS THE MASTER OF THE SYNTH BASS ERA. EVERYONE RAN OFF WITH THAT STACKED BASS SOUND AFTER THAT RECORD DROPPED.

PUTTING THE KEY BOARD UP FRONT AS THE MAIN FOCUS.
