THE essential funk album

How do I into funk? Tried listening to Mothership Connection and it dragged on and didn't feel fun at all beyond a few songs.

Try Curtis Mayfield - Superfly

I've never met someone who didn't enjoy it.

Afro Funk > American Funk

Seriously, American funk is cheesy as hell while African funk is really raw and raunchy.

here are 10 LPs I think are essential, but 10 really isn't enough to do the genre justice, so don't stop here or at the LP format. funk is an extremely prolific genre and thousands of great but lesser known or buried in time dust LPs and even more 12"s ans 7"s are to be discovered on your journey

James Brown - Live at the Apollo vol. II
James Brown - Love Power Peace
Funkadelic - One nation under a groove
War - All day music
Bootsy's rubber band - Bootsy ? Player of the year
Sly & the family Stone - Stand
Mandrill - Mandrill
Kool & the gang - Kool & the gang
Prince - Dirty mind
Betty Davis - Betty Davis
