Come on people, share the love.
Maggot Brain got me hooked but One Nation Under a Groove officially funked my brains out.

They`re a f*cking awesome band.

The first time I heard Maggot Brain I was gobsmacked. I don`t think Eddie Hazel gets anywhere near the amount of credit he deserves as a guitarist.

In fact i`m gonna download America Eats It`s Young right now

I downloaded some yesterday, I haven't listened to it yet though, I've always had high hopes for them though!

Funkadelic were a band that gave 100% all the time, every song, every record.

I love Funkadelic. I havent heard a lot of their stuff admitedly, but I have ordered Maggot Brain and Im expecting it this week.

Ya there extremely good. George Clinton is a genius.

I adore them.I just started listing to them and want to add them to my library what cd of theres do you recommend I pick up first?

Although Maggot Brain is probably their most popular my favorite is One Nation Under a Groove.

Get there 2 album greatest hits, if you want to try them out.

To my eternal shame I have no Funkadelic whatsoever. I have some Parliament stuff but these are better are'nt they?

I prefer Parliament, really.

Funkadelic are more sort of rock based compared to Parliament's more poppier edge.

Yeah that's what I thought. I think Funkadelic for me then!

amen,......
amen,...

I've been listening to One Nation Under a Groove lately.

*bows down to the gods of funk*

The Mothership Connection is better than anything Funkadelic has ever released, but overall I prefer Funkadelic. Lemme get some o' that funky p-funk...

I'm more into Parliament myself

yeah

i spent about an hour today just listening to that on repeat. gives me the goosebumps every time, it's stunning.

That's it! I can't hold on anymore. I'm gonna get me some Funkadelic right now!

Agreed. I also enjoy America Eats its Young quite a bit too.

Mommy, what's a Funkadelic?

YES

'Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow'... on a summer's day, and enough green to last the weekend with your girlfriend *weeps*

Parliament were brilliant too... For 'Flashlight' alone

How good is the guitar work on Maggot Brain on One Nation Under A Groove? Awesome stuff.

Funkadelic! Its been about 3 months and i'm STILL playing the hell out of Maggot Brain, so many highlights. So good that i haven't even bothered with the other albums yet, i'm ammending this now.

Check out their side projects...

1. Brides of Funkenstein
2. Horny Horns
3. Parlet
4. Bootsy (obviously)
5. And several of the member's solo projects

I keep looking for them on vinyl but all the record stores near me are sold out.

ah long summer evenings getting toasted to 'Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow'...
Parliament were very tight but the psychedelic factor is important for me...

I'm with you there!
Though a compilation, 'Music For Your Mother' is perhaps the greatest album out there. It spans their entire catalog.

Anyone ever hear Ween's 'A Tear For Eddie'? It's a Maggotbrain-esque tribute to Eddie Hazzle. The studio version is alright but the 'Live At Stubb's 7/2000' version is mind blowing!

Kind of an embarassing question, Bootsy Collins Bass effect was obviously producted on a pedal, what what was the name of the specific pedal. I've felt like breaking out a bit of funkadellic recently and it's just no good without that pedal.

funkadelic are great i just bought "one nation under a groove" on vinyl. as well as parliament's "Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome" which is unbelievably good.

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

everybody do the Flashlight!!

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.
