Funkadelic

I gave this band a couple of good thorough listenings a couple of months ago, and I must say I wasn't disappointed.

Pfunk is very awesome. One thing that most people don't know about them is that their lead man George Clinton actually isn't the "genius" behind the band. It was more Bernie Worrel on keyboards that did all the work. George was just good at getting all the attention. Also Eddie Hazel did a lot of work once he joined the band.

The real faithful should check out Bernie Worrells solo stuff such as Improvisczario or Eddie Hazels Game Dames and Guitar Thangs

Wayfarer I completely agree that George did a lot of the work for the bands, I just think he gets too much credit in comparison to the other band members like, Worrell, Hazel, bootsy and the like.

I've never real listened to their records, but I saw em live for a Juneteenth show, and they kick ass. George Clinton's out of his damn mind, but that's the only way I'd have it. I gotta get into their records soon, and hope they come back for a third time. :x

We're talkin bout P Funk, right? If not, I'm quite lost.

I have been playing the hell out of "Funkadelic", "Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow", "Maggot Brain" and "America Eats It's Young" lately. It's really ****ing great stuff.

Starting to think about listening to the rest is quite daunting as what I'm most impressed with so far is Eddie Hazel's guitar work and the psychedelic edge they have which I have been led to believe is missing from Parliament?

I was introduced to Funkadelic by my 2D design teacher last semester and fell in loooveeeee.

"Can You Get To That" is my favorite, it always makes me happy.

Funkadelic is definitely my favorite funk act.

Maggot Brain and One Nation under a Groove are phenomenal.

I love Funkadelic, I got into them through hip hop sampling the hell out of them (anyone else?) Fave album is the first, "Funkadelic" but one track the blows my head everytime is "I'll Stay" off "Standing On The Verge.." It makes me weep LOL

One Nation Under A Groove is probably the best LP that Funkadelic released. I think Funkentelechy vs Placebo Syndrome was a smart business move as it had such commercial appeal, and recruited a whole new army of fans.
