Shoulda thrown "Cookie Jar" a vote. :(

Can't believe mine was the only vote for "Breakdown." Is it not well-regarded for some reason?

voted for "Double Oh-Oh."

still cant believe only 19 people bothered to vote. Poor show ILM

And 40-odd voted in an XTC poll... I'll just let that sink in...

(... and I like XTC!)

if you don't like the effect, guys, don't produce the cause

jesus, tom. now im even more depressed. ilm these days is like rolling stone only liking white 70s acts :(

I bet classic rock got shit tons too

how on earth did XTC get double the amount of ballots???

oops sorry about that one

I think some people's votes were for the original Parliaments version but I went with the later, more "canonical" one

I was the only voter for Mutiny? :( That album is as good as any mid period funkadelic album. Even Clinton thinks so.

Anymore today?

I'll go down to 125 today, I think

uh kinda some questionable video content in that one fyi

127. Parliament - Funkin' For Fun (114 points, 3 votes)
http://youtu.be/1KCXWwpuEvo

"Quickie" is so much fun.

Live version with the 'Space People' intro is the superior version.

I think the first time I heard of P-Funk was when I saw the album cover for Trombipulation and thought "wtf is this", probably early 80's

then around 1990 somebody played me Wants To Get Funked Up and it all made sense

and at number 4, P-Funk's "Sway" lol

4. Funkadelic - Can You Get To That (1244 points, 16 votes)
http://youtu.be/8rrOdcnFbAY

Live version with the 'Space People' intro is the superior version.

the 1980s german tv festival clip with flea and keidis joining funkadelic onstage however isnt

good gig though otherwise. when vh1 first launched in europe they showed it in full. couldnt believe my eyes or luck.

3. Parliament - Flash Light (1293 points, 15 votes)

haha did the 2 people out of 19 who didn't vote for maggot brain also happen to be the 2 #1 voters for one nation?

great list shakey thank you!

had no idea One Nation was rated that high by people

it was Funkadelic's biggest hit song

The following albums placed every track in the poll results:
Funkadelic "Maggot Brain"
Funkadelic "Standing on the Verge of Getting it on"
Parliament "Up For the Down Stroke" (most surprised by this one)
Parliament "Mothership Connection"
Funkadelic "One Nation Under a Groove"
Parliament "Funkentelechy vs. the Placebo Syndrome"

A couple others would have placed all their tracks ("Let's Take it to the Stage" in particular) if people were a little more fond of solo Bernie Worrell magnum opuses lol.

I did think it was weird that the highest placing non-Parliament/Funkadelic track was Eddie's "California Dreaming". I mean it's good and all but that seems sort of wrong to me to place it above Bootsy's best, to say nothing of Atomic Dog or More Bounce to the Ounce.

got a full list of results?

everything i've got tabulated is upthread

Good poll, so many jams

Thanks, Shakey!

The discovery: One Nation Under a Groove isn't as strong as I thought.

Also: so proud of a good pal whose friends serenaded him and his new bride with "Can You Get to That" lats June.

this may perhaps be an unpopular opinion but when it comes to the Warner Bros Funkadelic albums I think they suffer (moreso than the Parliament records) from the lack of the original Parliament vocalists. Those guys had a grit and old-school gospel/doo-wop flavor that complemented the darker, grimier and just outright weirder lyrical concerns that typically got reserved for Funkadelic records, and I don't think any of the new guys that came forward really got that.

yeah plus later funkadelic in a kinda way suffered from trying to sound more like a guitar version of parliament. still great records though.
But the early line up was the best.

Great work Shakey. Thanks for all the effort.

I voted for 100 songs but didn't find room for Maggot Brain.

Great rollout, Shakey! Probably the least-predictable poll I've seen so far.

I assumed from the outset that Maggot Brain would be number one, with Flash Light and One Nation and Cosmic Slop also in the top 5. I had assumed Atomic Dog would be top 10 too but oh well

yeah i expected that to be top 5. thought because atomic dog was a big hit and sampled that it would do very well.

Great poll, Shakey! Thanks for doing this.

I feel like I need to (further) clarify some of my comments from yesterday regarding the early Funkadelic records. I actually think the Westbound Funkadelic records, taken as a whole, are stronger than the Warners Funkadelics. I just think the Westbounds hit their stride with Cosmic Slop. After Funkadelic moved to Warners, it was Parliament that made the more cohesive records, but I don't think that's necessarily down to the vocalists - it's more that Funkadelic started to lose its own distinct identity. The only one that's nearly as dark and scabrous as the Westbounds is Electric Spanking, which you can dance to besides.

Excellent poll! Thanks for running it. Forever it will live in the Chocolate City of my heart.

Yeah, great job, Shakes. "Can You Get To That" getting to no. 4, wow, did not see that one coming! I can't even remember where I placed it. My no. 1 was "Chocolate City", lyrically (and vocally, George was never better) just the perfect combination of funniness, profundity and absurdity, and musically just not like anything else, lots of great funk bands around at the time but none of them could have come up with anything like "Chocolate City" - they didn't have Bernie + Bootsy for a start.

this may perhaps be an unpopular opinion but when it comes to the Warner Bros Funkadelic albums I think they suffer (moreso than the Parliament records) from the lack of the original Parliament vocalists. Those guys had a grit and old-school gospel/doo-wop flavor that complemented the darker, grimier and just outright weirder lyrical concerns that typically got reserved for Funkadelic records, and I don't think any of the new guys that came forward really got that.

Know where you're coming from but listening to "Getten to Know You" from Clones today and, Jesus, that is a great vocal from Garry Shider - and I don't even think I voted for that track - Garry and Glenn Goins were both such great singers.

My no. 1 was "Chocolate City"

For years, I had 3 note piano riff as my cell alert on my old motorola phone. It was perfect.

My biggest regret now is that I didnt put Free Alterations from Computer Games higher. That is one of my 3 or 4 favorites now, but I wasn't fully aware of its greatness when composing my ballot.

Thanks very much for hosting this huge poll, Shakes.

my ballot - for the sheer joy of wasting time I added where my 20 picks placed:

1 I can move you (if you let me) #62
2 Mommy what's a funkadelic #48
3 I wanna know if it's good to you? #18
4 placebo syndrome #58
5 funkentelechy #21
6 hit it and quit it #14
7 presence of a brain #71
8 unfunky ufo #44
9 back in our minds #96
10 free your mind and your ass will follow #16
11 friday night august the 14th #47
12 maggot brain #1
13 stuffs and things #61
14 the goose #35
15 all your goodies are gone #66
16 give up the funk #15
17 one nation under a groove #3
18 mothership connection (star child) #8
19 eulogy and light #93
20 you and your folks, me and my folks #26

for your pleasure in irritatingly subjective nerd analysis I added the following essential info ("essential" in the meaning implied by the album title The Essential Billy Joel):

average placement of my top five: 41
average placement of my 6-10: 48
average placement of my 11-15: 42
average placement of my 16-20: 29

conclusion: 16-20, with three songs I stuck on to keep it real (i.e. acknowledge the giant faves that continue to reach me....for example, NOT flash light or atomic dog or can you get to that) placed the best, by quite a margin.

HOWEVER! my most verily 5avorite 5ive did 2econd best amongst the 4our groups! This is reassuring. I only want so much mild specialness, not flat out isolation 'n starvation.

The stuff that did worst by a long shot was my almost equally beloved 6 - 10 (but 11-15 would have done the worst without the maggot brain).

I'm looking forward to exploring the picks of those who know enough to make 100 song ballots! Have already been much educated by this poll... And remember, the bigger the headache, the bigger the pill.

The discovery: One Nation Under a Groove isn't as strong as I thought.

Five of the first six tracks are classics but the other songs are overlong filler.

Here's my ballot:

Cosmic Slop
Mothership Connection (Star Child)
Groovallegiance

I Got A Thing, You Got A Thing, Everybody's Got A Thing
Can You Get to That

Looking forward to reading through this, I've been more than a little busy over the last month or so and I thought I was going to manage to get a ballot in for this (even got as far as drawing up a whole list), but for some reason struggled to get them in some kind of order (there was a lot of stuff to consider!) and ended up missing the deadline. Having a quick glance over the results though, I've no complaints! Maybe it would have been easier to have separate Parliament and Funkadelic polls, but I guess that would have missed the point!

And yes, Kerr, that Mutiny track would have made my ballot :D

Just finished George's memoir. It was really good. He was much more sensitive & thoughtful than I expected him to be, while still delivering the goods when it comes to anecdotes featuring outrageous behavior.

yeah I was surprised at how perceptive he was; good memory too

I'd like to buy some P-Funk on vinyl but after reading that I'll be damned if I put any $ Armen Bouladian's way.

oh there's plenty of used copies out there
