How do I appreciate soul and funk? I've listened to Parliament Funkadelic, Marvin Gaye, Erykah Badu and a few others and it just does absolutely nothing for me at all. I don't want to deny myself 2 whole genres of music, so how do I into funk and soul?

Folk, baroque pop, neo-psychedelia. Sufjan Stevens, Joanna Newsom, the Beach Boys and Mercury Rev come to mind as some of my favorites.

okay, so you've got absolutely pure whitey music taste
but if you like some psych, then maybe try psych soul?
Lee Moses - Time and Place
Earth, Wind, and Fire s/t
good starting places
also the Beach Boys are nothing next to the power of the Isley Brothers. This Old Heart of Mine is an unstoppable LP
>>69511106
Jesus. You're a clone
listen to 90's/80's R&B first

I'll check the Meters and the Isley Brothers out first. Thanks for the suggestions, they're much appreciated.
