Good list playing the Gap Bands "Burn Rubber" anywhere within ear shot of me is a guaranteed way to get your carpet messed up, Cuz I'm gonna cut a rug.

Hmmmm, I'll try to reach out a little futher here (and limit myself one choice per artist and defer the excellent P-Funk and JB choices above)

Prince - Let's Work
Eddie Kendricks - Keep On Truckin
Marvin Gaye - Got to Give It Up
Stevie Wonder - I Wish
Curtis Mayfield - Pusherman
Graham Central Station - Hair
Ohio Players - Fire
Isaac Hayes cover of "Never Can Say Goodbye"

is it just me or does p funk and the gap band have a lockdown on the best funk ever?

bump

"Thank You Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin" by Sly and the Family Stone

On that note..."Don't Call Me ********, Whitey" also by Sly and the Family Stone.

cool

Atomic Dog has to be one of the coolest songs ever

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)
