Dammit, I was hoping to see a bunch of British debating stuff. Very disappointed.

(I'll have to get that, btw)

I have this and it truly is a kick ass cd! One of the few bands out there I actually bought a best of, and have thus far found it more enjoyable than the actual albums!

Right Plook. Maggot Brain (album and song) was under the Funkadelic name.

All songs are smoking hot on there! Sadly no Maggot Brain, but it wouldn't really fit on that Cd anyways, it is a fun party disc, and really delivers nonstop action on that front.

Parliament and Funkadelic "merged" in the 80's, so "Maggot Brain" appears in P-Funk shows, including the time I saw them in 1997. (Their guitarist Michael Hampton plays the 9-minute Eddie Hazel solo from the album note for note and apparently did so at his audition. Sort of the Steve Vai of funk.)

But the original studio version was a Funkadelic track.

I've always preferred the original Funkadelic to Parliament, but I did get to see P-Funk live a few years ago, and they were a lot of fun. They indeed did break into a quick "I'm the Slime" interlude in between a couple of songs. I've always heard that Funkadelic was heavily influenced by Zappa.

A great comp. I, however, believe in the full immersion of an album when it comes to Parliament OR Funkadelic.

You guys ever heard OSMIUM by Parliament? It sounds more like early Funkadelic…..but it's really great,....along with Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow, and Standing on The Verge Of Getting It On(a lot of Hendrix sounds in those last two also!). Eddie Hazel!!!!!! :mrgreen:
