I personally think the 70s funk music was more original and inventive than the electronic sounds going into the 80s.
Don't get me wrong though, I like a lot of the funk orientated music during the 80s and 90s also. My opinion might be a little bias when it concerns 70s funk.
Oh, I agree..my post was pointing out that 70s funk really ended about 1983...much in the same way 80s music ended about 1993 when Grunge officially took over via Nirvana's impact on the mainstream

Everything went more commercial during '78 and '79.

Nah -- that only seems that way because Robert Stigwood painted the Bee Gees in white, which spearheaded disco into that "hairy-but-glittery" 70s Saturday Night Fever schmaltz-thing that we all make fun of now

David Bowie nailed funk.
