I'm looking for the cream of the crop when it comes to funk, disco, soul etc.

Old, new or "nu" is fine, all recommendations greatly received. The bigger the variety the better.

Personally the funkiest ever.



The commodores- not all mowtown style ballards.

Jesus Christ this is amazing. I come home from work and check the thread wondering if anyone's posted anything interesting and Fried and Lagers are on some Austin Powers shit.

in the CD changer in my 320i coupe, there was always a compilation of that type of funk, The Real Thing soundtrack, Original Gangster and The Stone Roses first album

all good Font trip stuff

must make some new CDs... especially a funk comp or 2

[Jaspersharpe]

They're called playlists these days.

*old man waving walking stick smiley*

[lagerstarfish]

how can a compolation cd be a playlist when it includes every track on the cd?

if it was some sort of magic that only played certain tracks on the cd, that would be a playlist

Linux

no preplaced gear

[Jaspersharpe]

Speak up, my hearing aid's not working properly.
