 | Mothership Connection by Parliament
Buy used from: £6.70 Of course, any FUNK fan let alone P-Funk fan should own this. No buts
|
 | Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome by Parliament
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £3.21 Ohh, its freaky naughty. Long jams of sir nose, funkentelechy and my all time favourite bop gun
|
 | Live: P Funk Earth Tour by Parliament
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £10.69 They are still amazing live, but this is done just after the release of 'Clones of...' so is awesome
|
 | The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein by Parliament
Buy used from: £3.21 Another must. Some unexpected jems. As with mothership, you've gotta let the songs get going, cos often they break into funky masterpieces
|
 | Maggot Brain: Remastered by Funkadelic
Buy new: £7.68 / Used from: £5.67 The 1st delic, we shall return to Parliament. Amazing Eddie Hazel guitar work, before Gary Shnider takes the reigns.
|
 | Standing on the Verge of Getting It on: Remastered by Funkadelic
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £5.40 Another Hazel and my favourite from Funkadelic. The general feel of the album is maintained despite swings from slow to fast jams and long psychadelic 'quiet' bits.
|
 | Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs by Eddie Hazel
Buy used from: £86.74 Quality. I treasure this, but sadly unless you have deep pockets you can't. Long jams, indulgent guitar and a feel that only eddie hazel seems to be able to create.
|
 | Jams From the Heart by Eddie Hazel
Buy new: £19.99 / Used from: £5.09 This is on Games, Dames... Its good, but they're unfinished jams. This is the most involving P-Funk album i have. Unpolished, sparse and great
|
 | Stretchin' Out in Bootsy's Rubber Band by Bootsy's Rubber Band
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £6.33 The original, don't know if its the best. The beginning of bootsy's obsession with ballads.
|
 | Live in Louisville 1978 by Bootsy's Rubber Band
Buy used from: £16.99 The best live available. If you see a live bootsy video, get it. There's one from Japan thats pure genius.
|
 | Live in Oklahoma 1976 by Bootsy's Rubber Band
Buy used from: £10.95 Another live, not as good but hilarious. The ballads are filthy.
|
 | A Whole Nother Radio Active Thang by Fuzzy Haskins
Buy used from: £49.99 A P-Funk singer and general jump about fun man. If Boots likes ballads, this guy does more dance related stuff. Strings! Its worth it just for the last track, but there are some other gems here.
|
 | The Best of Parliament by Parliament
Buy used from: £12.94 Should be a best of Parlet - long tracks at the end of 70's, disco influenced and worth a listen
|
 | Blacktronic Science by Bernie Worrell
Buy used from: £31.95 I'm not a huge fan of his; really long solos which tend not to be funky. This is full of them, but its got a few bits. Not for the unappreciative of worrell
|
 | A Blow for Me a Toot to You/Say Blow By Blow Backwards by Fred Wesley & the Horny Horns
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £8.95 These guys did the funk rounds, not only within P-Funk, so this doesn't have that Pure Pure-Funk sound, but if you like your horns loud and proud this will go down well

![George Clinton: Parliament Funkadelic - Mothership Connection [DVD] [1985] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51W4NPD0C2L._SL75_.jpg) | George Clinton: Parliament Funkadelic - Mothership Connection [DVD] [1985] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
Buy used from: £20.29 To watch them getting it on, with a space ship, fireworks, costumes, a foam car is just amazing. The effects are rubbish but fantastic, and the music just awesome. Eddie pops in, as does bootsy
|
 | Osmium by Parliament
Buy used from: £9.99 The beginning. Some great tracks closer to gospel and blues than ever again.
|
 | Chocolate City by Parliament
Buy used from: £7.29 Love this. Comes just before the start of the big 3, mothership, clones and funkentelechy but lays the ground work well
|
 | Trombipulation by Parliament
Buy used from: £18.50 I got this on vinyl in Florence. Long trip for what is essentially not there best work. Great cover and is better than a lot of the 80's stuff, but not their best known for a reason.
|
 | Music For Yoga by Parliament
Buy used from: £4.28 All about the myth that black people can't swim. Classic.
|
 | Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow: Remastered by Funkadelic
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £15.92 Their second album. Has the same loose echoy sound as the first and twanging un-modifyed guitar. Brilliant
|
 | Cosmic Slop: Remastered by Funkadelic
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £7.21 Heading towards the more commercial, electronic sound of later Funkadelic, but still maintains the rock funk of before. A good mix of the two styles
|
 | The One Giveth, the Count Taketh Away by Bootsy Collins
Buy new: £8.79 / Used from: £5.96 More of the ballads and a lot more of some cracking bass. Best funk bassist of all time? He's amongst the greats.
|
 | T.A.P.O.A.F.O.M. (The Awesome Power of a Fully Operational Mothership) by George Clinton & the P-Funk All-Stars
Buy used from: £4.66 This demonstrates how much better they were in their prime, that lasted a good 15-20 years. Its sad to see them trying to fit into a world they helped create (rap/hiphop) but being below par.
|
 | Instant Live: The State Theater Portland, ME 3/19/04 by George Clinton
Buy new: £17.09 / Used from: £18.81 Another example of how much better they were without all this rap stuff bothering them. They honestly don't need it, they're musicians and funketers of the highest order. Keep it pure, keep it P-Funk

Listmania!
