ToonGuns Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Bought Maggots Brain on vinyl around 2 months ago. Great album. Haven't had much of a chance to check out other stuff - will check out your recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had much of a chance to check out other stuff - will check out your recommendations. If you're more into the rock stuff, stick with Funkadelic. Cosmic Slop in particular is a badass album. The funk stuff is more Parliament. But it's all awesome stuff. Edited February 1, 2021 by Towelie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonGuns Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Cosmic Slop deserves a listen surely for just having a fantastic name. There's a huge link into Bucket here with Bernie etc. That's what made me check them out in the first place. I love Praxis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got into them through my Prince fandom, as George Clinton did a few albums on Prince's label in the late 80s. It's easy to disappear down the P-funk rabbithole though, you start to dip your toe into them and then you find yourself talking about the finer points of the grandchild of the replacement bass players new internet release.

Jabberwocky Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 OK now this is a thread worth bumping. I've been a Funkateer since the 80's. Had some older friends introduce me to them when I used to hang around their crib. Besides James Brown, they are one of the most sampled groups off all time. Check ALL of their stuff out. Just think. If George Clinton became president instead of Bill Clinton we'd be one nation under a groove! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonGuns Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 What's best to check out next, after Maggot Brain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of their well known songs are on it. Almost kinda hard to pick a favorite for me because I am a big fan of funk in general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 I concur. Mothership Connection was my first introduction to the band and its like starting your GNR discovery with AfD. If you don't like Appetite, you may as well stop there. Same with Mothership Connection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
