Agreed. The number of great musicians in that band is just.

Bootsy, Eddie hazell, Bernie, tiki fulwood, the horny horns, shyt even the backup singers: the parlets, the brides of funkenstein

shyt Junie Morrison for a few years

George Clinton

I think Maggot Brain is one of the greatest albums of all time in any genre, and maybe the most influential. But yea Funkadelic is a top 5 of all time band easy.

The Beatles, outside of them - I would say you have a toss-up between Earth Wind & Fire and Parliament-Funkadelic

Good read. I think the writer was a little too dismissive of the Stones, but I cant hate.

Funkadelic's probably meant more to my life then any band besides zeppelin, and the Grateful Dead.

The reason I stand by this thread is because Funkadelic grooved harder then everyone else, and they also explored an incredible range of musical territory.

You don't get that lethal combination in rock music. Zeppelin got the hard, but they stay comfortably within electric blues and folk. Pink Floyd had an incredible versatility but they were kinda soft


Funkadelic was the best of both worlds. Rhythm tighter then a motherfukker, and they explored everything from noise-rock, to old school R&B, the blues, gospel, acid rock and prog
