maggot brain way too low, that and cosmic slop are just really nice sweet spots where the tunes, grooves, nonsense and seriousness all come together beautifully while there is still a little psych edge (though later stuff is great too and maybe "better")
i never liked the first couple as much as i was supposed to. they seem like the sort of thing you're supposed to get really really stoned for

‘Let’s Take It To The Stage’ is basically an album of offcuts but it always sounded really coherent to me...probably my favourite

Music for your mother is a good overview but its missing way too many good songs (ahem comin round the mountain) and a little of the early period goes a long way.
― candyman, Saturday, 30 January 2021 06:11 (three years ago) link
o now everyone thinks
see i call bullshit on anyone thinking they can divine what "everyone" thinks at any given time. if you don't dig the early albums that's fine but that's on you.
i love osmium/rhemium etc, but its a very different thing to the early funkadelic - the songwriting is great, very focused, and they're trying lots of things, and they're pop in an oddball way. the first three albums have a lot of pop moments - esp maggot brain, with you and your folks, back in our minds, etc - but the essence is the ooze, the primordial from-the-earth funk.
― Ray Cooney as "Crotch" (stevie), Saturday, 30 January 2021 08:10 (three years ago) link
Def true about osmium being more weird pop, its much sharper, yeah. But It's not really primordial funk on those funksdelic albums though, its this sludgey, stoned, slightly self aware groove based soul-funk-rock thing really, heavy at times, but also actually a little bit like the stooges on fun house (as opposed to the stooges self titled album), where they sound like they dont always entirely know what they're doing, or just haven't practised all that much, and are just letting things roll out however they happen to roll out.

Someone edit that track so it lasts the rest of my life
It is, but Uncle Jam is the most underrated of all the albums. I've probably said this half a dozen times in this thread but cant be arsed checking. It needs saying again anyway.
― Pfunkboy AKA (Oor Neechy), Wednesday, 15 September 2021 15:46 (two years ago) link
just wanted to check: is there a combined poll of funkadelic and parliament records that i'm just not finding through the search engine, and if not, does anybody want me to start it
signed, someone who listened to the greatest album ever recorded, funkentelechy vs. the placebo syndrome, for the first time today

that bop gun riff is really fun to play on guitar
― brimstead, Friday, 17 September 2021 19:39 (two years ago) link
I don't listen to it as much as I should because it was the only one I could find in the pre-internet days, but it's tight.

Pfunkboy says Brad should start the poll regardless. Why not include some of the solo albums and spin offs?
― Pfunkboy AKA (Oor Neechy), Friday, 17 September 2021 20:27 (two years ago) link
Quazar and Sweat Band are 2 of the best pfunk related albums ever
and that first Mutiny album is the equal of any funkadelic album of that era

xps Brad, YES Tales of Kidd Funkadelic is so underrated, top 3 Funkadelic for me. “How Do Yeaw View You?” is an all-time fave. Jealous that you’re hearing Funkentelechy for the first time. “Wizard of Finance” on repeat x1000.
Have you heard Let’s Take It To the Stage? That’s the peak for me but it’s all one big party

Standing on the Verge of Getting It On is the best of mid period pfunk.

for solos and offshoots, it seems stupidly obvious to say, but eddie hazel's _game, dames and guitar thangs_ along with bootsy's _stretchin` out in bootsy's rubber band_ are essentially p-funk albums in all but name. and both are completely essential.
