As a mahoosive fan of funk, I'm interested to hear what other mega-fans would list as their top 10. I know it could be fluid but there's sure to be some evergreens that you've always loved. To get the ball rolling, in no particular order, at the mo' mine would probably be..

I get high on you - Sly Stone

East River - Brecker Brothers

For the love of money - O'Jays

City, country, city (album version) - War

Bus Stop -Fatback Band

Hollywood swinging - Kool and the Gang

Who says a funk band can't play rock - Funkadelic

Pick up the pieces - Average White Band

Shaft - Isaac Hayes

Serpentine Fire - Earth Wind and Fire

With too much time on my hands one day I actually made a YT playlist of some of the nominations on the previous F&G thread (prior to the soft ware change).

That's a good 'un.

Bookmarked in recognition of your effort.  Cheers.
