You and Your POLL, Me and My POLL: The P-Funk Results Poll

Unfortunately I'm going to miss this, I've got to go out.

but celtic missed out on champs league tom

I thought guessing top ten was frowned upon.

is that not only in the big eoy poll? Its something I've always encouraged.

except that they always wait until the top 10 is obvious before guessing rather than doing so at the beginning

"I'll Bet You" a.k.a. "I Bet You" was the early one I thought should make top 10. That's my jam. I can't knock "Maggot Brain," the song - it's a brilliant performance - but it's never moved me as much as it should. I realize that's probably my problem and not the song's, and my impression of the Eddie Hazel original is unduly affected by the fact that I heard, and loved, the live Michael Hampton version on One Nation years earlier. Still voted for it, just not in the upper reaches of my ballot. I say "Maggot Brain" or "One Nation Under A Groove" takes the top spot on the poll.

Nice to see the love for Standing on the Verge of Getting It On, which really is one of their peaks - it's among the handful of P-Funk LPs that smokes from start to finish.

Damn, a whole bunch of my top ten has already placed. I voted Groovallegiance at number 3 and "I Got a Thing" at Number 5.

Can't believe "Hit it and Quit It" missed the top ten.

Is Chocolate City the album worth getting Y/N?

2/3rds of it placed in this poll

it's so good, I need to get that one

6. Parliament - P-Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up) (1110 points, 13 votes)
http://youtu.be/OG_fs-liOUs

I hope Flashlight beats One Nation Under a Groove. If Maggot Brain wasn't to win it I think Flashlight would be a worthy winner.
Those should be the top 2.

Not actually too mad about Flashlight tbh. Ban me now..

5. Funkadelic - Cosmic Slop (1134 points, 14 votes, 2 No. 1 votes))
http://youtu.be/H6SS7JDVRo0

this really is such an unusual song. If I recall correctly Billy "Bass" Nelson briefly returned to the fold to play on this, ostensibly because Bootsy couldn't get it right (or so he claimed).

My introduction: Vanessa and Robert doing homework on a Saturday morning while this blasted from a portable radio.

Live version with the 'Space People' intro is the superior version.

I think the first time I heard of P-Funk was when I saw the album cover for Trombipulation and thought "wtf is this", probably early 80's

then around 1990 somebody played me Wants To Get Funked Up and it all made sense

and at number 4, P-Funk's "Sway" lol

4. Funkadelic - Can You Get To That (1244 points, 16 votes)
http://youtu.be/8rrOdcnFbAY

Live version with the 'Space People' intro is the superior version.

the 1980s german tv festival clip with flea and keidis joining funkadelic onstage however isnt

good gig though otherwise. when vh1 first launched in europe they showed it in full. couldnt believe my eyes or luck.

3. Parliament - Flash Light (1293 points, 15 votes)
http://youtu.be/JbYKFbD1Ysc

sounds about right at #3

only if one nation were below it

haha did the 2 people out of 19 who didn't vote for maggot brain also happen to be the 2 #1 voters for one nation?

great list shakey thank you!

had no idea One Nation was rated that high by people

it was Funkadelic's biggest hit song

The following albums placed every track in the poll results:
Funkadelic "Maggot Brain"
Funkadelic "Standing on the Verge of Getting it on"
Parliament "Up For the Down Stroke" (most surprised by this one)
Parliament "Mothership Connection"
Funkadelic "One Nation Under a Groove"
Parliament "Funkentelechy vs. the Placebo Syndrome"

A couple others would have placed all their tracks ("Let's Take it to the Stage" in particular) if people were a little more fond of solo Bernie Worrell magnum opuses lol.

I did think it was weird that the highest placing non-Parliament/Funkadelic track was Eddie's "California Dreaming". I mean it's good and all but that seems sort of wrong to me to place it above Bootsy's best, to say nothing of Atomic Dog or More Bounce to the Ounce.

got a full list of results?

everything i've got tabulated is upthread

Good poll, so many jams

Thanks, Shakey!

The discovery: One Nation Under a Groove isn't as strong as I thought.

Also: so proud of a good pal whose friends serenaded him and his new bride with "Can You Get to That" lats June.

this may perhaps be an unpopular opinion but when it comes to the Warner Bros Funkadelic albums I think they suffer (moreso than the Parliament records) from the lack of the original Parliament vocalists. Those guys had a grit and old-school gospel/doo-wop flavor that complemented the darker, grimier and just outright weirder lyrical concerns that typically got reserved for Funkadelic records, and I don't think any of the new guys that came forward really got that.

yeah plus later funkadelic in a kinda way suffered from trying to sound more like a guitar version of parliament. still great records though.
But the early line up was the best.

Great work Shakey. Thanks for all the effort.

I voted for 100 songs but didn't find room for Maggot Brain.

Great rollout, Shakey! Probably the least-predictable poll I've seen so far.
