First Maggot Brain track to place?

there are a few albums that placed every track in the results, guess which ones

Supposedly Bootsy used to impersonate Hendrix's speaking voice on tour buses for the amusement of his fellow musicians (James Brown band I presume), short step to the Bootsy Voice.

Along with Maggot Brain I can see Mothership Connection, Funkentelechy and Standing on the Verge of Getting it On having all their songs place.

THink I voted for "Electro-Cuties", I can't remember anymore.

Argh. I should've voted for "Electro-Cuties."

yes you should have

The last day of the poll when every Maggot Brain song places will be tough for me. Please keep me in your thoughts.

wish i had voted for them all now then

Wow, "Eulogy and Light" made the top 100! That was an easy pick for me.

lots of bootsy which i assume means there wont be much of his near the top and there wont be any Quazar or Sweat Band to come? :(

TIE 88. Funkadelic - Better By The Pound (218 points, 4 votes)
http://youtu.be/xrgVppXrK64

I will say this - the highest placing non-Parliament/Funkadelic track is probably not what you'd expect

TIE 85. Funkadelic - Good to Your Earhole (222 points, 4 votes)
http://youtu.be/NAHzj71EUu4

funkadelic :
later stuff generally lower reaches
mid period in the middle
early stuff at the top

My guess is top 2 are a battle between flashlight and maggot brain with cosmic slop being the dark horse.

parliament its the mid period that will dominate

I had Better By The Pound way up high on my ballot. I absolutely love that song.

84. Zapp - More Bounce to the Ounce (223 points, 4 votes)
http://youtu.be/lK6wOG_aDl8

83. Parliament - Come In Out Of The Rain (226 points, 3 votes)
http://youtu.be/PsP3rHs3oUI

expected that to be higher but looks like not enough consider it pfunk.
xp

zapp i mean

I can see taking issue with Zapp's broader catalog but that song in particular is a) unbelievably super-classic and b) has George and Bootsy's hands all over it as much as any other P-Funk side project

it counts for me. the album was meant to come out on uncle jam til roger screwed em over

Bootsy and Greg Jackson are both on it, the loop/edit was George, produced by Bootsy/George = yeah wtf people

gah sorry mixing up Greg Jackson with Bootsy's keyboardist Joel Johnson

i know that some of these polls have participants who know nothing about the band but join in to learn (but not this time?) if they had done I wonder if they wouldve have voted the zapp higher?

Hi, part of the problem here. I merely know 8 albums well, all under the name of Parliament or Funkadelic.

Except for Miles Davis or some other jazz or classical legend, I can't imagine starting a sentence with "I merely know 8 albums by...."

...but it's fun to learn new things, and two new things I've learned today are "Electro-Cuties" and "Smokey."

Anyway, so long as we don't have the P-Funk equivalent of "Deacon Blues" or "Debaser" winning it's all good right? (ducks to avoid flying objects)

What is P-Funk's "Sway"?

A "Sway" hasn't won a poll since "Sway".

P-Funk's "Sway" is "Can You Get to That"

works for me

what is sway? the stones? in which case im fine with that too. If its ocean colour scene fuck off ;)

not even! Greg Tate compared that one to the 5th Dimension (meaning it as a compliment, I think).

i didnt follow the other polls. think i voted in manics miles and zep then wasnt on ilm much this year

Plus it was sampled in that goddam what'stheir face song a few years ago, pearly boots or something? no sway

slim sneakers? what was that group? 'have a heart, have a heart'
