Funkadelic - Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On POLL

Probably my fave too, its the most consistent

Will probably go with "Red Hot Mama," very narrowly over "Alice."

I haven't polled this??

Such a fun album. I probably won't vote.

standing on the verge of putting it on

Will probably go with "Red Hot Mama," very narrowly over "Alice."

alice for me, this is also my fave funkadelic album

I'LLLLLLL STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY`

my fave too. its pretty much all written by eddie hazel

I'm much more of a Parliament fan overall but this is my favourite George Clinton related album. Think I'm going for Jimmy's Got a Little Bit of Bitch in Him.

Tough choice between "Red Hot Mama" and "I'll Stay." Of course, if "Vital Juices," the B-side of "Red Hot Mama" was included, that might get my vote—it's basically the second half of the song, three more minutes of insane Eddie Hazel guitar.

Ooh, difficult... it appears to be everyone on this thread's favourite Funkadelic album... including me! Possibly "I'll Stay" but probably title track.

bullshit thoughts rot your meat

For me it's tied and maybe nosed out by Cosmic Slop.

holy crap

Went with the title track.

voted "I'll Stay", which has got that perfect blend of funk and fucked-up-ness in the best Funkadelic tracks. But yeah, this is an underrated album, and probably my fave of their mid-70s period.

Its always been a fans fave

I haven't polled this??

I actually thought you would have done at some point! Was really surprised when I searched for a poll for this and found out that it hadn't been done yet!

That don't mean it ain't the thing or thang to do.

Alternate thread title: "We will do you no harm other than POLL in your afro"

Just remembered this classic thread

Had to go back and relisten to
this one...can't honestly say its one of my fave Funkadelic albums but "Alice" is fantastic ..."Good Thoughts/Bad Thoughts" is lovely though...so sad Eddie Hazel died so young...true genius...

According to Wikipedia, this album turned 40 years old yesterday.

Happy birthday!

...can't honestly say its one of my fave Funkadelic albums but "Alice" is fantastic ..."Good Thoughts/Bad Thoughts" is lovely though...so sad Eddie Hazel died so young...true genius...

You know this is the only Funkadelic album where Eddie Hazel wrote all the music?

I know...do loke this album but prefer his solo album and tracks like 'Good To Your Earholes' and 'Maggot Brain'...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

every thought felt as true or allowed to be accepted as true by your conscious mind takes root in your subconscious, blossoms sooner or later into an act and bears its own fruit

Really cannot decide between "Red Hot Mama" and "Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts." I guess the latter seems to be getting less love itt than the former, so that.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

As part of the first annual DC Funk Parade festivities near U Street Saturday a bunch of guitar-playing folks were all doing "Maggot Brain" together. Eh, it was ok

not a very parade-y (or particularly funky) song

My friend helped organize that. How was the rest of it?

"Maggot Brain" was part of the pre-parade fair (various bands were playing outside in parking lots and near metro subway stations). The parade itself did not have that many participants but I enjoyed it-- the awesome Ballou High band and majorettes from SE DC led off and there was that DC based female Brazilian drum percussion team Batala, and a young dancing & acrobatics girls squad, but otherwise anyone was invited to march which meant lotsa bearded 20 somethings and and a few neighborhood oldtimers. Had stuff to do so could not stick around for the later free EU ("da butt") gig. Lotsa local groups were playing gratis from 7 to 10 in some of the U Street area clubs

The video of red hot mama is mind blowing. How is Michael Hampton not more well known.

I know him as ReddKidd Funkadelic

He was fucking blowing in that clip. That was serious shit.
