Funkadelic - maggot brain

this track is blazing. i read somewhere that George Clinton told Eddie Hazel (the guitar player) to play like "your mother just died". Damn, it feels like it...

DOPE track though.

"guess who?" - the goodie mob
"t.a.m.i." - pep love
"t.a.m.i.k.a." - (already mentioned) by mj is up there too.

2pac songs.. take your pic.

[Ipatch]

Lauryn Hill- To Zion
Prince Paul- You Made Me
Jigmastas & Apani- Apology Not Accepted
MF Grimm- Bloody Love Letter
The Coup- Me and Jesus the Pimp in a 79 Grenada

[Raider 420]

Marvin Gaye - Distant Lover

Yeah, Maggot Brain is damn emotional. Have you heard the cover that Mike Watt and J. Mascis did on "Ballhog or Tugboat"? I don't really like J. Mascis, but he plays a pretty mean guitar on that cover.
Right now I'm thinking Doug Martsch has some really great emotional songs.

I love showing folks music. If they can dig it, they deserve it. Anyway, Eddie Hazel is an amazing guitar player. You can tell he was influenced by Hendrix.

[Attaphek]

lol

Can you recommand anything by Funkadelic, I always thought they where too crazy, but that song is off the hook!

I highly reconmend checking out their first S/T LP from 1970. There's a track on there called "Good Old Music". It's a classic break...

Also, check out the 'Maggot Brain' LP. It's got some classic material on it. "you and your folks, me and my folks" is a dope song about inter-racial relationships.

But you're right, Funkedelic can get pretty nutty sometimes.
