Where the hell are the Meters? I'll take "Stay Away" because it's got the funkiest break beat drumming ever.
I'll also take Funkadelic with "Super Stupid" because it's heavy as ****.

Im not too familiar with the funk genre, but here's some decent rock bands trying it:
Mofro - Ho Cake
James Gang - Funk #49
Shadows of Knight - I Am the Hunter
(this is from the late-60s)
