Alright, here's where you get to list your favorite funky bands and songs from any decade. P-funk, Sly Stone, Bootsy Collins, whatever you like. Also funk-inspired bands such as Red Hot Chili Peppers and Maroon 5 can be listed here.

Can't talk funk without mentioning the king, Mr. James Brown! Listening to him right now, matter of fact. We can't forget Rick James, either.

Has anyone ever heard of Chuck Brown? He had a pretty funky tune back in the 70s("Bustin' Loose"). Or how about Bohannan ("Let's Start the Dance"). Hard to sit still when those are on.

Sly and the Family Stone - Higher


Bros. Johnson - Strawberry Letter 23


Brothers Johnson - Get the Funk Outa Ma Face

Oh yeah... Parliament/Funkadelic(Has to be on everyone's list), The Brothers Johnson (How could you have forgotten them?), Teena Marie (If "Squre Biz" comes on, I'll dance with ANY girl that asks - reguardless of the girls looks), Red Hot Chili Peppers (Probably my favorite band - Flea on bass).
