thanks, i needed fresh for a minute

>>73858279
Sly's albums are some of the most solid, and easiest to get into
>>73858346
George Clinton's Parliafunkadelicment thang is more out there, but not in a challenging way - more in a "what is this guy DOING" type way
>>73858414
James Brown's stuff is funk at it's toughest and most resilient. this funk will survive the Apocalypse.

no sweat

The Meters (1969)
Feels about as basic as funk gets considering it's pretty early, but it's definitely tasty good

http://www.mediafire.com/file/95hstf3dmk6a8m2/JBFP2.zip
these are collections of James Brown's band and singers making music of their own. it's lighter than James Brown's own stuff, which might make it easier to get into before diving into his stuff - but they're all worth hearing

agreed. Meters are one of the best bands for funk
I'd recommend they're 1970 effort Look-Ka Py Py above their debut, if you wanna check their albums:

...and here's a career retrospective of James Brown's career: 1955-1983. the first disc starts before funk, but it gets into it on the second disc
