Devil Wears Wings posted:Another vague genre post, I know. But, where would I start with '70s (or '70s-style) funk? I've heard a lot that I like in the genre lately, but I don't know any band or album names. Well, I guess you can't go past Parliament and Funkadelic for a start. I don't like either of them very much, but they are both George Clinton and he's probably the most revered figure in 70s funk. Then you have James Brown's later stuff, which got deeper and funkier as it went along. You should also check out The Commodores, Earth Wind & Fire, Kool & The Gang, most of the poo poo that came out on Atlantic after 1970, later stuff by The Temptations, early Prince, The Meters, Cymande...the list goes on. Listen to the big groups of the genre first and go from there.

bagmonkey posted:I really, really want to get into 60s and 70s era Funk music. I went to a funk night at a hipster hang out and man, it was great. Any recommendations are great, but I think what I'd really love are a few online streams that consist mostly of funk music and will help me explore the genre. Thanks https://www.soulstrut.com The streams aren't great quality, but the selections are. Also, go read the funk thread I started - I think you'll need archives though, I can't find the thread.
