The Greatest Funk Band/Preformer Ever

[Bub]

No Parliament/Funkadelic option (together as one)?

You took the words right outta my mouth.

You missed the Meters! Other than that I would add Galactic and Orgone for great new funk bands.

I don't really have a favorite funk artist. I like listening to different styles of funk depending on what I'm feeling.

You're way heavy on the 70's, though. You need more 80's funk. I wouldn't vote for them, but someone might. I'd almost vote for Prince.

Rick James!

Soror: I'm defining funk with this list as being kind of "roots" funk-the stuff that's bonafied, unquestionable funk-to-the-bone. In retrospect, that probably means I shouldn't have put Curtis Mayfield on, but the point is: If there's any question as to the funkiness whatsoever, it wasn't included. Maybe I'll do a best "funk crossover" list next time.

The P-Funk. (Yes, they're one band....separating them is like separating Hall from Oates. It's criminal.)

You just don't get any funkier than George Clinton. Not even James Brown....who I'd shuffle off into the Soul category (he's the Godfather of Soul, not Funk). Clinton is the Godfather of Funk.

Rick James!

You're missing a word at the end there, I think.

Prince is, of course, but I voted for The Ohio Players.
