Love me the funk rock, across the board.

How is that Bootsy Collins album overall?

I got it when it was first released but never got around to listening to it.

I think the whole album is excellent. It's one of the best releases of the year in my book. And I'm not even a huge funk junkie, either, but I still jam to all the tracks, even the ones where its just funk with monologues on top (Rev. Al Sharpton, Samuel L. Jackson)

Surely an early candidate for Funk Rock?:

I post this all around MB but if the RHCP ever got half as close then they would be my favourite band:

and this damn beauty:

^That's why it called (P-Funk).

70s influence, Fight The Power by The Isley Brothers.

Album: Go For Your Guns (1977).
