Revive the Funk

Music for Rump Thumpin' and Thang Swangin'
1Kool and The Gang
Open Sesame


Get down with the genie y'all.
2Baby Huey
The Baby Huey Story: The Living Legend


Baby Huey has a knack to make you feel like you're in a 70's movie police chase.
3Kool and The Gang
Wild and Peaceful


For Swingin' in Hollywood
4The Bar-Kays
Too Hot to Stop


The Bar Kays will make you feel like someone lit a fire in your bell bottoms.
5The Brothers Johnson
Right On Time


Check your watch, it's "Right On" time. I mean, their guitarist is nicknamed Lightning Licks and their bassist is Thunder Thumbs, you gotta give it up.
6Earth, Wind & Fire
Open Our Eyes


Tightest funk band on Earth. Harmonies like Wind. Grooves like Fire.
7The Meters
Look-Ka Py Py


Some good ol' Nawlin's funk. Add some spice to that jambalaya and stir.
8James Brown
In the Jungle Groove


Let the Godfather take you to the jungle and party with the animals.
9Bootsy Collins
Back in the Day: The Best of Bootsy


Yabba Dabba Dooo, break off a piece of Bootsy for you.
10Shuggie Otis
Inspiration Information


Aural dynamite. Shuggie puts the boogie on ya.
11Funkadelic
Tales of Kidd Funkadelic


Deliciously sloppy funk meant for the people.
12Earth, Wind & Fire
All 'n All


Late night grooves for satin sheets and some scented candles. Oh baby.
13Rick James
Come Get It!


Before Dave Chappelle, there was just a man who knew how to play the bass guitar freakishly well, and that man was Rick James. Enjoy yo'self.
14The Isley Brothers
Between the Sheets


There's a reason the Isley's were sampled so much. They get weird types of naughty.
15Funkadelic
Let's Take It to the Stage


At this point, Funkadelic was doing the same thing that the Grateful Dead were doing, but doing it with a lot more emphasis on cosmic slop and bodacious bass slappin'. Take it to the stage? They did.
16Rick James
Bustin' Out Of L Seven


Get outta yo rut and bust a gut.
17Marvin Gaye
Here, My Dear


Funkiest break-up album ever recorded. Marvin's the master.
18Prince
Dirty Mind


A young Prince breaks it down about the topics everybody cares about: partying up and getting head. More recording artists should follow his lead.
19The Meters
Rejuvenation


More sonically saucy gumbo tunes. On this record, I like to picture the Neville Brothers being backed by a rhythm section comprised solely of crawfish.
20Curtis Mayfield
Super Fly


Superfly may make you lose your mind, but at least you'll be placed in the funkiest mental institution around, like that one in Good Burger where George Clinton was staying.
21Earth, Wind & Fire
Spirit


Mythological funk, it's something the Egyptians would have listened to while building the Sphinx.
22Sly and The Family Stone
There's A Riot Goin' On


There are few things more radical than Sly Stone moseying up to the microphone and laying it down plain and simple: the world's messed up. And people listened because the groove was so outta sight.
23Curtis Mayfield
Curtis


Hey Curt, slice me off a piece of that sweet funk cheddar for my stay woke sandwich.
24Parliament
Mothership Connection


Star Child weaves a tale of a bunch of funky extraterrestrials who just want the world to dance together. Let's hope Elon Musk finds these guys.
25Parliament
Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome


What is a Funkentelechy? It is "the actualization of the Funk, rather than its potential." It's what happens when you get hit with the bop gun. It is what puts a glide in your stride and dip in your hip. In short, it's why George Clinton should write novels.
