Who the Funk are you?

[RaynEX]

This thread is for all the acid jazz, electro-funk, raw funk heads out there. Brand New Heavies? Jamiroquai? The Reddings? The Fatback Band? Chromeo?

If you like those thick basslines and the mellow rhythm section grooves, then get at me. I've been really diggin' the old school these past couple of months.

Tell me what bands you like in the genre or anything else that comes to mind, old or new...it doesn't matter. : D

Parliament/Funkadelic will probably always be my fav. Bootsy Collins and Eddie Hazel 4 life.

Maggot Brain is required listening for anyone trying to get into Funk. The title track is the most soulful, heartmelting guitar solo ever.

Well Red Hot Chilli Peppers comes to mind, even though they have strayed from their more funky sound, Blood Sugar Sex Magik is one of my favorite albums out there.

I prefer the 70's funk. Dead or not Disco still rules.

Some good stuff in here. Although Jug, Bud Powell is a jazz pianist. He's really smooth and great to listen to, but not exactly the genre I'm talking about. Here are some really great Funk/Acid Jazz songs to hold you guys over. Also, Parliament/Funkadelic are classic, I agree.
