Quote:oops I see jasmine mentioned the Ohio Players...Love Rollercoaster hasn't got that greasy funk on it though...kinda top 40....just my opinion...
Bi-Polar....I love opinion because it makes me think and it expands my music experience. You bet I'll be checking out those Ohio Players tunes that you've mentioned. Thanks! Oh, and I'll be getting back to you once I've listened to those tracks to see if they're as greazzzzy as you say!
Did the Ohio Players do Hot Pants? I thought that was The Godfather, exclusively.
Jasmine, did you find that Graham Central Station cut?
How about "Superfly" - Curtis Mayfield? He had some good funk. The first song that came to my mind has been mentioned here more than once "Play That Funky Music" - I can't not move to that song.
Love Curtis' "Superfly" soundtrack. Also, his "Claudine" soundtrack. He had a different kind of funk. Cerebral funk.
That's the way I likeit-- k.c. and the Sunshine Band is my favorite, just a notch before Sex Machine by the Godfather.
Cold Sweat the udisputed champeen of funk.....the mother of funky bass lines.....
I'll go with that. I'm also partial to "Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Nothin' for funk with a message.
cerebral funk - yeah. All I have of curtis mayfield is the double disc anthology.
supergrass - sometimes you make me sad
Quote:Jasmine, did you find that Graham Central Station cut?
well I went down to that there music patch, lol, and found me some of that Graham Central Station...I'm in queue for it, eoe! YAY!
two from the stranglers
peaches - nice bass line
walk on by - crazzy ass organ solo in the middle
Can't be funkier than Isaac Hayes' "Walk On By." Another crazy ass organ solo by Ike himself.
um.... cant say alot about that whole old school funk thing, ive just discovered Parliament Funkadelic so u know... anyways, i love Maggot Brain alot, but does anyone know what Maggot Brain means?
Anyways, as for funky ass songs
-Parliament Funkadelic - Atomic Dog (sampled at least 80 times and made the funkiest rap songs out of it, just like numerous Above The Law's songs, mostly on Black Mafia Life)
-Afrika Bambaataa & The Soulsonic Force - Renegades of Funk (maybe Bam's funkiest one)
-Above The Law - ummmm.... can't pick one.... they dropped so much funky ****, like Untouchable, The Last Song, Call It What U Want, Why Must I Feel Like That, Game Wreck Oniz-Iz Game.... after all they' G-Funk Originators right?
-BG Knocc Out & Dresta - Compton Hoe (they dropped alot of funky ass **** on their Real Brothas album too)
-George Duke - Reach For It (original sample used by Spice 1 on In My Neighborhood and Westside Connection on West Up!)
There's alot of funky **** too like Das EFX, Geto Boys, Black Moon, Boogie Down Productions, NWA, even some french rap... but the topic said only 5 songs so...
Afrika Bambaataa...that's a blast from the past!
You Dropped A Bomb On Me-can't remember the artist
Jungle Fever - The Chackachas
Is that the song with the moaning woman?
Family Affair - Sly and the Family Stone
Do it till your satisfied - BT Express
Fire - Ohio Players
Superfly - Curtis Mayfield
I'll be good to you - Brothers Johnson
Did I mention Lydia Pense And Cold Blood-"Funky on My Back".? Great blue-eyed soul!
