One Nation Under A Groove

It's a bit too eclectic. Great opener and great end, but in the middle it's a bittle to meddling.

Mientras estudiaba lo he escuchado y lo he disfrutado, pero no mi favorito. Canciones excesivamente largas tho.

Most songs sound same to me, otherwise just okay.

This album isn’t available on the usual streaming services, so I had to listen on YouTube, which isn’t ideal, and gets at the problem with everything going digital: if music isn’t on one of the major streaming platforms, it’s almost like it doesn’t exist. That’s particularly a bummer with this because everyone should listen to more Funkadelic. There’s the funk here, yeah, but lots of fuzzed out psychedelic rock, surrealistic lyrics. It’s a lot of fun. This band was tight. There’s some bonus material on here, which normally I’d skip, but when the bonus is a live version of “Maggot Brain”, the most face melting song ever written, well, I’ll happily make an exception.

Ikke for meg, og blir litt lei av funk/disco på denne lista. Hade noen heseblesende fete gitarsoloer da.

Ganske ok, liker noen partier godt. Fan av den rockete funk stilen, men litt mye mas over instrumentene på noen av låtene

Funky Noen kule riff Koste meg, kunne fint hørt igjen, vet dog ikke om jeg husker noen låter spesifikt.

La ultima pieza salva Ta bien Me gusta mas el otro álbum con la cara gritando

Que solos más saboshos Definición de álbum experimental Última rola es una joya Hubiera estado chido un poco más Boogie boogie

wish the whole yhing was on spotify cool ass album

Like the sound but one one song was memorable

Funk ain't my thing, but this is good funk, particularly One Nation.

Not my style, the songs are sooo long without buildups and for an album with groove in the title some songs are not up to it. It still has bangers so 2.5/5

fav tracks: Cholly (Funk Getting Ready to Roll!) Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?! Groovallegiance

5/10 It is definitely a summer album. I wouldn't find this apbum on my own so it's something new for me. It was wery mesy and chaotich but not in the way I enjoy music. But I really liked some of the instruments. If I had listened it in the summer and not christmas i would rate it higher.

I honestly liked this album more than the previous one. I had to listen to it on YouTube since there is only two songs on Spotify and it was really fun. Had me feeling energised and wanting to dance. It was very enjoyable, I just wish the chance of me listening to it again was bigger if they uploaded it on Spotify. But a nice listen.

That shit Funkaaaay, need to download the album

so cool

4.5

very weird, as anything in the george clinton universe typically is, but still entertaining.

One of the best, most joyous and technically sound albums I’ve ever heard. Such a pleasure.

Mad how old this is, fantastic to listen to

7/10 Highlights: Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock Groovallegiance One Nation under a Groove

Pretty good

I don't even know how to rate this. Technically I think it's great, but it's not a genre I'd pick to listen to. Also - fried ice cream?!

Not for me

I’ve been looking forward to some Funkadelic, clearly a big influence on Talking Heads, and of course, founding member Bernie Worrell would later join as a touring member. This album was everything it promised to be; funky, psychedelic with grooves and some outstanding guitar riffs. It got a little soulful somewhere in the middle and I almost started to lose a bit of interest, and that’s the only reason it doesn’t get maximum marks, however, they quickly picked up the pace. I even stayed for the bonus tracks, I liked it so much.

Mukavaa funkia ja groovea

Had to go to Youtube for this one - I hate that. The recording quality was not that great although I found the pauses between songs (as if I was literally listening on vinyl) endearing. This album oozes with impressions and memories of what I thought 1970's NYC life was like all the time. Very groovy record. I especially enjoyed the final 2 tracks - PE Squad and Maggot Brain. I would have favorited both tracks if Spotify. I'm torn a bit on rating this - it's probably a 3 based on my rating criteria (would I seek it out) but in this case I want to encourage a relisten so +1. 4/5

Fun but not my favorite

Album #5 Funkadelic: One Nation Under a Groove Music to clean your shit by. I definitely wouldn’t consider myself to be a very funky guy; in fact, I do believe that there is a considerable lack of funk within me most days. Combined with the fact that I am also extraordinarily sober and have potentially the whitest music taste of all time, this album did not seem like one that was likely to resonate with me. However, having never heard a funk album before, I suppose I didn’t really know what to expect. One thing that became immediately apparent to me is that the concept of ‘funk’ is fairly fluid, as most of the lyrics and songs revolved around this idea of funk operating in many different scenarios. Playing funk music, being funky, cleaning your shit to the funk, etc. It reminds me of that Eric Clapton quote about how it is more artistically impressive to continuously explore the same theme over and over again, rather than delve into multiple themes. Though in his case, he was talking about having his body operated like a gundam and in the case of George Clinton and Funkadelic, that theme, which is explored ad nauseam, is the Funk. The lyrics appear nonsensical and repetitive, often talking purely about the funk and its effects in different scenarios, which seems like they are meant to be intentionally open to interpretation, so whoever is tripping whilst listening to the album can feel an extra sense of relatability to fuel their paranoia. I believe that the ‘funk’ actually serves as a metaphor for a deeper and more impactful message. The two concepts that are continuously brought up are funk and shit. In the case of shit, it can be seen in many songs, particularly those involving the infamous ‘doo doo chasers’. My interpretation is that the funk represents all that is good, and the shit is all that is bad, which is why funk music is said to wash away the shit from your ass like an enema, or something along those lines. By giving into the funk and the groove, all the problems you and the nation have fade away for at least the duration of the album, and if everyone were to partake in the funk, the nation would prosper. I particularly enjoyed the spoken-word elements of the album as I found them amusing and thought-provoking at times, and the guitar work was also especially impressive. Overall, a very promising introduction to funk and a very fun album. Interested to hear more from Funkadelic. A very high 3 stars, nearing a 4.

i can definitely hear the james brown influence but also why is it also giving the experimental vibe of pink floyd to me… i had to listen on youtube so that definitely made me feel like i was listening to it on vinyl which is silly. overall it’s very much right up my alley

Funky

Not my tatest

never liked it

Really amazing album, the grooves are immaculate, absolutely love it. It’s a shame it’s not on streaming due to copyright stuff. It doesn’t grip me as much as some of the other albums to be a definite relist, but I’d love to hear more. Solid four star album, very close to a five.

not bad at all, nice sound

I'm not a particularly funky person but I enjoyed this -esp the title track. Side B gets a bit loose but still enjoyed it.

There's some weird pot smoking stuff going on here. All very funky. Is it any good? I really don't know!

for other people: i managed to find this as listed as “Under a groove CD1” on spotify, it’s not visible through the main artist profile. it’s almost the correct album listing, it includes the bonus ep so choose where to stop listening. having said that, the funk isn’t enjoyable today. 2.5/5 🌕🌕🌗

очень даже кайфово и качово оказалось! после первого их альбома прям боялась слушать это, но понравилось

It’s no maggot brain, but it is fun. Funkadelic i think are the epitome of that cool funk sound, groove and look. Took me bloody ages to find the right album though and that did annoy me. 3.5/5.0 Best Song: groovallegience

zaczęło się dosyć słabo wg mnie, ale to akurat kwestia mojegu gustu w zupełności - tylko mnie to utwierdziło, że funk to zupełnie nie mój gatunek ale im dalej, tym więcej było gitary, mniej wokalisty(wokalistów? idk) i coraz lepiej, a ostanie trzy utwory to już naprawdę mi się podobały

A fun album. Difficult to find on streaming. Probably would not revisit as I like other funk sounds more

This is obviously gold, because everything that George Clinton does is gold. Even when he's not putting in his best work, he's still better than most. This record was rad. I liked how it trended a little more R&B than Funk, but what really tied it together was the guitar. The guitar solos are almost too much, but they happen so much that it just kind of takes you space every time. Who says that a funk band can't play rock??

This wasn't available on Youtuber Music. So I listened to a newer version of it. It was really good.

First album for me that is not on streaming. My third Funkadelic album. So far my favorite is Maggot Brain. I clearly don’t feel the funk I guess. It is funky, groovy, funny. But it doesn’t do much for me.

This funk album pumps out elastic bass lines, chattering guitars, bright keys, and loose, joy-drunk grooves, with vocals that bounce between playful chants and sly swagger, all of it swirling together like a wild block party that occasionally tips from liberation into unruly excess.

Not my usual genre but enjoyed this !

I found this to be an overindulgence equivalent of a bar band playing in a studio setting. I like the first song, but I found songs to be too much of a mess to fully enjoy. The playing is good but over exuberant and feels like there’s not enough conceptual depth to have me interested for longer than a song or two I would rather listen to Prince or other funk acts that have some sort of ideas around pushing the genre forward instead of resting the same thing that they had been at this point, this is the 10th album and I feel that it is tired and fortunately, I would not come back to it

Awesome

Search for the G funk

Although they are hardly unknown, Funkadelic is certainly one of the all time under-recognized great bands. I had a Fishbone record recently and referred to Fishbone and RHCP and safe to say both are likely more widely known than Funkadelic, even though both owe their existence to Clinton and crew and neither should be mentioned in the same sentence. This record is one of their strongest, but I can't think of a weak one. It falls short of Maggot Brain and maybe Cosmic Slop, but it's still in stacked with great tracks and killer performances

Súper funky but too many jams for me, needed at least one catchy song

Alright, alright, alright! Busy day today, got a nice jacket and park run so almost no time to re-listen to this, but I do have it on vinyl as it wasn't on Spotify, one of the first records I ever bought actually. Classic funk, robably can go to 4 stars, will see

This is one of the greatest funk albums ever produced… and tragically, as of this writing this album and the rest of Funkadelic’s Warner Bros.-era catalog (especially this album and its follow-up Uncle Jam Wants You) is still not available for download or streaming. Whoever has the rights to the WB-era Funkadelic albums, pull your head out of the sand and release these albums back to the world where they belong!

Only on YouTube!! Gotta keep an eye out for this vinyl. Funkadelic is the best.

Good album, felt there were more prolific funk artists at the height of funk. Good vibe. Wouldn’t want in constant rotation but a good addition every now and then.

Can't find a way to stream. Will need to find a hard copy and listen later.

More classic funk feeling moments that some of the broader Clinton oeuvre, but in no world am I gonna listen to this when Maggot Brain exists, and has a better version of that very same track on it! Strong 3.5*

MUY BUEN ALBUM la verdad no me lo esperaba asi pero no me ha decepcionado practicamente nada, lo tengo que escuchar otra vez, pero la putada es que no esta en spotify y eso me jode mucho Nota 5/4

This is just so very cool and chill. This is great for any party, any sunday morning and any working day, great stuff

Tricky to review and album thats not fully available on streaming service. Any how, the main single One Nation Under a Groove is awesome. I kind of was not bothered of needing to play the song on repeat (accidentally), that great of a song. Still, not the full album. I'll now have it three stars and get back to revisit the review, once listened to the whole record.

Funky, yes. But ultimately just a bit too boring

groovy as hell, maggot brian is better but this was sick

I really love Maggot Brain but never listened to this one. I don’t think any songs topped ‘Can you get to that’ but the funk was funking.

This one was tough to find? (maybe just in Canada?) anyway, worth the hunt.

The first track was good, but the rest weren't available on spotify. I left it at that.

Unavailable on Apple Music

as always, with funkadelic, the groove is front and center. this is a funky-ass album. it does not quit. fun listen. off kilter and corny, but that's the name of the game. the music is pure fun. if you are not grooving in your seat, listening to this, then you're doing something wrong. all that said, there was something about it that did not push it into my upper echelon. it's a party of a time, but not enough of a party? i kind of wanted it to be more energetic, more frenetic, more crazy. it feels kind of too subdued. don't get me wrong, i enjoyed it a lot, i just wish it felt more like a rager.

This was wierd... way wierd. Wierder than I expected. And I was here for it.

3 stars, but 4 with the bonus disc with the live version of Maggot Brain and P.E. Squad/Doo Doo Chasers!! Fav tracks: One Nation Under A Groove, Maggot Brain (live), P.E. Squad/Doo Doo Chasers

Nah. Vamps are so overrepetetive, that it gives brain no simulation. Some good guitar playing though, but all the parts except guitar solos are boring. +1 point for Maggot Brain, though I love original version more. The inclusion of it is so contrasting, that it made me wonder, "whatever happened to band that once did Maggot Brain album?"

Decent museum music

Excellent lp. It reminds me of slightly less funky version of Trout Mask Replica.

Album not available

Lots of bangers on here. It feels like it has the vibes of a hyper-produced electronic pop song, but you know they’re just jamming. === Special callouts for Cholly and Maggot Brain

Straight walk off

Funky

Not on Spotify

Hard to find and didn’t blow my socks off.

Not bad

By the time it got to 3 minutes into track 2 this was starting to annoy me. By 5 minutes into track 2 I was angry and wanting the whole experience to end. It seems I don't get 'funk' if this is supposed to be a great funk album. Perhaps it's a 'transatlantic thing'. Nah. Not for me. I am out. 1/5.

Виявилось, що Maggot Brain в мене вже давно в плейлисті, але трохи довша версія, так що було цікаво послухати цілий альбом. Не впевнена, що буду коли-небудь переслуховувати його, але загалом звучить добре й цілісно. Особисто мені така кількість пісень у цьому жанрі за один раз —трохи забагато, таку музику сприймаю в обмеженій кількості :)

Дуже непогано, особливо перша пісня, але надзвичайно одноманітно і затягнуто. Для чілу з друзями саме то, але просто так я не слухав. Але Funkadelic додав соіб в плейлист, концентрований груууув.

Старий крінжовий рок, перша пісня (у якої 43 мільйони прослуховувань) - найкраща

класні рифи, але мені потрібен гігантський косяк, щоб витримати 60 хвилин прогресів фанку maggot brain сподобався більше

Прикольний вайб, мені на фончик зайшло. В плейлист вечірки в стилі 70х можна додати

Трошки як нестигле яблуко. Вживати можна але чогось не вистачає

I typically can't resist a groovie, funkie record but this one is really not all that special to be honest. Sure it grooves, it's kinda fun sometimes, like the title track, but overall : yeah ok.

Hard to deny. I'm going to have to listen to Maggot Brain to see which one I like more.

couldn't access it on spotify, found it on youtube. funk is so interesting to me as something you doesnt listen to it. the lyrics make sense but they're absurdist. its like a camus novel with groove and a backing choir. fried ice cream is a reality man. a lot of great songwriting and the penultimate song is a sudden rock-based guitar solo. very accessible funk for a rock fan. 7.5/10 but leans 4/5

To YouTube I go, as the AI drone funding supervillain platform I use doesn’t contain this full record. Mercifully for all, this means there will be fewer words and maybe an abandonment of the extremely popular (see: cumbersome) track-by-track review format. So as I go to another platform, also owned by a dead-eyed sociopath, I look forward to enjoying 70’s funk, a genre I don’t really care for whilst being interrupted by ads for AI, a technology that could be be used to create a utopia where menial tasks are fulfilled by computers and there is a basic standard of living for all, but instead it’s used to further consolidate wealth in a society that no longer has need for Darwinian squabbling, but perpetuates it for, you know, fun! Anyway. Time to get freaky! Small update. After a fun first track, it appears that we have settled into an album that is now devoid of ideas. Splendid. Well, as much as I hated track 2, this thing picked up from there with the heavily guitar-centric “Who Says a Funk Band Can’t Play Rock!?” The “shit-centric” and unpronounceable “Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis Enema Squad (The Doo Doo Chasers)” is as juvenile as it is psychedelic. I don’t go for scatalogical humour, but(t) if you take out that part, this is a pretty cool track. As one adlib astutely asked “which one is George Clinton?” Truly one of the great ponderings of our time. Too bad it came in the package of a horribly unfunny song centered around poop jokes. Yes, this album was better than I thought it would be. Yes, this album clearly has incredible musicianship and a distinct point of view. Yes, this probably influenced thousands upon thousands of bands and had some ingenious moments. No, I will not be listening to it again. A decent record that has more to offer to a bigger fan of the genre than I. A true progenitor of its kind. Just not a kind I care for all that much. Wasted on me. 2.5 HIGHLIGHTS: Honestly? Probably the poop song.

One of the greatest examples of funk ever produced, with surprisingly shredding guitar solos. Never gets old.

This is a pretty fun listen. I love the positivity and not giving up on the "funk"!

Cool as hell but it does get pretty noodley

What the funking funk?

A fun and tight album

crazy piece of funk i love this album now all I need is a joint to smoke and then this album will be even more funky.

good album a lot of different tones and pacing throughout

The funk-ler

George Clinton is a legend. Great listen!

To quote The Prodigy from when I was listening to their album earlier this week: "Oh my God that's some funky shit!" 3.5/5 that I have no problem rounding up to a 4.

It is most definitely a groove.

funk! funk! funk!

Funky

Funk at its best! George Clinton, Bootsy Collins and co. do little wrong here to ensure 'One Nation Under a Groove' is a landmark achievement of the funk genre. While far less commercial than sister band Parliament, Funkadelic certainly ups the experimental stakes with their records, especially on their landmark third record 'Maggot Brain', but 'One Nation Under a Groove' actually finds Funkadelic stepping more into Parliament territory, crafting funk jams that are as toe-tapping as they are experimental. The first half of the record certainly alludes to this, as One Nation Under a Groove, Grooveallegiance and Who Says A Funk Band Can't Play Rock? are all rather catchy, especially the latter with its infectious rhythm and incredible guitar work. The only real Funkadelic-esque song on the album is Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis Enema Squad (The Doo Doo Chasers), with enough experimentation hearkening back to Funkadelic's classic sound, but this album certainly plays like a Parliament album in disguise as a Funkadelic album, which works in this case as 'One Nation Under A Groove' became Funkadelic's most commercially successful record. 'One Nation Under A Groove' stands alongside Parliament's 'Mothership Connection' as the finest funk has to offer, and while I prefer Mothership ever so slightly, this album is a great starting point to explore the depths of Funkadelic's fearless creativity. If you like this record, then go check out 'Maggot Brain' and see if you can stomach it. Best songs: One Nation Under a Groove, Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?, Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis Enema Squad (The Doo Doo Chasers)

What a wonderful listen. I think this project is slowly making me more of a fan of funk/soul. It’s an actual crime this gem isn’t on Spotify.

Interesting. Somewhat. Couple good songs, nothing I’d revisit. Maggot brain has some great guitar!

Not my groove. ★★

Hmmm, it's OK. Some alright beats but it's quite meandering at points. E.g. do we really need 10 minutes of that 10 second riff in Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis? One Nation Under a Groove, Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock? and Into You all great songs though

Je dois faire une confession, une confession qui ressemble presque à une hérésie : je n'aime pas le funk. Voilà, c'est dit. Pour moi, le funk, c'est trop souvent des costumes à paillettes, une positivité qui me file de l'urticaire et, surtout, ces putains de "cocottes" de guitare. Vous savez, ce tchiki-tchiki-tchiki rythmique qui, personnellement, me donne envie de me jeter sous un bus. Mon panthéon musical est pavé de post-punk, de noise et de types qui ont l'air de vouloir se pendre. Le funk, c'est l'antithèse. Alors, quand le bouquin m'a pointé du doigt ce "One Nation Under A Groove", j'ai soupiré. Et puis, j'ai écouté. Je n'aime pas le funk mais Funkadelic c'est bien plus que du funk. Cet album, ce n'est pas du funk au sens où l'entendait le disco ou même un James Brown tiré à quatre épingles. C'est le chaos, c'est une partouze cosmique organisée par George Clinton dans un vaisseau spatial rempli de LSD. C'est sale, c'est lourd, et surtout, par moments, c'est du rock. Funkadelic, c'est la branche "groupe" de l'univers P-Funk, la face B de Parliament. Là où Parliament explorait la pure soul, Funkadelic était là pour brancher les guitares et tout faire péter. C'est d'ailleurs le premier truc qui frappe. On est loin du tchiki-tchiki, car ici, la guitare (merci Michael Hampton, alias Kidd Funkadelic) elle hurle. Elle est grasse, elle est saturée, elle part dans des solos psychédéliques qui doivent autant à Hendrix qu'à n'importe quel rythmicien de Detroit. L'album pose d'ailleurs la question directement avec "Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?!". Le deuxième truc, c'est la basse, ici elle ne se contente pas de marquer le temps ; elle mène la danse, elle est épaisse, ronde, et elle fait trembler les murs. Ces éléments-là, les éléments rock, sont indéniablement excellents. Mais (parce qu'il y a un mais), le problème, c'est que George Clinton et sa bande sont tellement défoncés et tellement amoureux de leur propre groove qu'ils ne savent pas toujours quand s'arrêter. C'est le syndrome du "jam" cosmique. C'est une musique qui prône la libération totale, certes, mais à force de se libérer, elle se perd un peu en route et les morceaux s'étirent. Le titre éponyme est un manifeste, mais il dure plus de sept minutes. Et que dire de "Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis Enema Squad (The Doo-Doo Chasers)"... Le titre est génial, mais le morceau est une épreuve d'endurance. Les passages rock, ceux que j'apprécie, se retrouvent souvent noyés dans des vagues de R&B et de funk pur jus qui, pour mon oreille de post-punker, finissent par tourner en rond. C'est dense, oui, mais c'est aussi parfois incroyablement bordélique et complaisant. On sent l'influence que ce truc a pu avoir sur les Beastie Boys ou Primal Scream, mais l'album en lui-même est épuisant. Au final et après une écoute attentive, je pourrais dire... Je ne suis toujours pas fan de funk mais je respecte Funkadelic. "One Nation Under A Groove"est un document, un bordel psychédélique fascinant et une étape importante. Les parties de guitare sont à tomber et l'énergie est indéniable, mais c'est aussi un album qui me fatigue. C'est un album intéressant, c'est un album important, mais ce n'est pas un chef-d'œuvre pour moi. Note : 3/5

Holy shit. Love P-Funk, but there's a few albums I've missed due to them not streaming. Was eager to listen so hit up YouTube and struggled through ads 'n shit to listen. Worth it and gat-damn! Fuckin' weird-ass shit on this one, with moments that feel downright cultish. Whole thing is thick 'n grooving. Thick 'n psychedelic too. Weird one even for Funkadelic, but also groovy as fuck. Def gonna be getting this one on vinyl.

I loved the single ONUAG, but the album, not very much, I actually prefer George Clinton’s work with “Parliament”

Leider scheint das Album in Spotify kaputt zu sein und zeigt nur drei Songs - aber die sind recht gut

It’s fine, too bad it’s so hard to locate right now.

The funkiest thing that's probaly ever been recorded. This is an absolute joy to listen to. Unbelievable guitar playing. Instrumentation is so tight, lively, inventive and just really really fun. There is so much joy in this and range, from upbeat to slower and more pensive. Wild lyirics. I would genuinely give a kidney to be at a George Clinton gig in the 70s

I've already listened to his album (31). Great to re-listen! I've always been more of a Parliament fan but Funkadelic have some hidden gems (like the bass solo on Groovallegiance, absolutely divine). It's too bad that this album is not on Spotify.

Funky funny!

Genuinely couldn't find this on Apple Music, I'm sure it's good though. Edit 6/30/26: I haven't been logging the day I'm going back to these, but this one feels worth it cause it's the one where I tried to find it and just couldn't my first time around. And honestly I really didn't miss much, there's kinda nothing special about this one. It's fine I guess, but it's not like there's not better funk music on here, even better Funkadelic on here. But I'm still glad I tracked it down, it would've been hanging over my head until the end of this thing if I didn't.

Instantly made me happier

soul train from beetlejuice soundtrack

"The whole funk, and nothing but the funk!"

Funky goodness.

Not sure what rights fight is keeping this off Spotify, but that's such a bummer. Great album. If I could add to my playlist, I think I would add "Groovallegiance" (track 2) and then either the title track (Track 1) or Cholly (the last track in its original album form). Great listen, even though I tend to be more of a fan of earlier Funkadelic.

Great soundscapes/tones and occasional brilliance among overly repetitious and sometimes obnoxious grooves.

Joyous funky psychedelic rock, strong soul / gospel influences, great bass riffs - just fun and I will be listening again

it's a 3.5 for me. i cannot use .5 stars but today i feel good so i give 4 :)

Skall återse.

Ok, but not mine

Funk legends

Very funky album. Pleasant to listen to. Pretty diverse, lots of melodies and different sounds, hard to be bored by it. More plays would probably elevate the enjoyment even more.

If you can't jive to this we can't be friends.

Super groovy mind bending funk album with a mix of genres thrown in. This one will keep you bouncing. Only one song that I would considered a skip, all others were infectious.

5/5

Listened to many times, along with every other P-Funk album. The thing I'll say about this album is that it's probably the least likely album I will listen to with other people. It's less of the upbeat danceable music they've been known to make. Cholly and Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?! are exceptions to that. It's more psychedelic and has a darker tone than the other Funkadelic (and certainly Parliament) albums I listen to more often. But it's really good nonetheless.

Now this is a solid album. Much better than the other Funkadelic album I've listened to (Maggot Brain). An interesting mix of rock and funk, that turns out really well. Plus, it's got some awesome guitar work.

I pledge a groovallegiance to the funk

Funkadelic keeps on being amazing, no dud in this tracklist with constant highs. The live version of maggot brain is amazing as expected. We want the funk!

This is a clear five. What a fun album! I'm a big rap fan, so it is always nice to hear music that rap producers heavily sampled from. I loved that Funkadelic leaned into rock on this one.

Groovier than it is funk but that's a distinction that doesn't need to be made when the album is that good. First 3 tracks are spectacular, kinda dies out till "Maggot Brain" which just grabs you by the ears and pulls you in. Then P.E Squad; nothing needs to be said besides fried ice cream is a reality These are the kinda albums I needed when joining this group. Would have never went outta the way to check this out but it forced me to listen with a clear conscience, an open mind and enjoyed most of the 59.36 minute time length. Disclaimer: This isn't on Spotify, so get an ad blocker or something for YouTube. 4/5 Stars

A little too jammy for me, but really well executed.

Not on Spotify anymore but YT had it. Some great stuff, some weird stuff but liked it

Not on Spotify but really good jams

Yes but idk, didn't feel it

Just gritty, raw, funk rock. George Clinton is one of the greatest songwriter's of all time. The rhythms and rebellious energy fill this album with life. There are probably better Funkadelic albums, but this one's still solid. Favorite songs: Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock, Cholly, Into You.

Good name. Definitely funky.

Nope

Couldn't find this one on apple music, found it on spotify and it wasn't playable. Found a stream of the whole album on youtube, glad I did. Here's a link to anyone who might be reading this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmDNMx9FRgI Really cool stuff, awesome guitar work...extended jams are awesome. Not sure why this isn't available on streaming platforms but it's great. Some of the talking over the tracks is a distraction...man, just let this music play, no one needs to hear your coked out ramblings.

не уверена что слушала полную версию альбома и не уверена что слышала больше одной песни, но для фанка не нужно разнообразия!

Yeah funky I liked it.

Maybe a bit too indulgent for me. Fun though.

One nation under a groove is a bit of a banger isn’t it!? But this album version went on unnecessarily too long. Some fine funk throughout.

P funk at its absolute best. What a fantastic ride. And the companion EP was also fantastic.

Really solid album, more consistent than Maggot Brain but arguably not as many highs. I could see myself listening through this ever now and again even if none of the individual songs would be my go to.

Liked this at points, found it tiring for most of it. Sometimes it felt like true improv funk where people knew what they were doing but didn't know how to develop it into something else. Other times it felt borderline schizophrenic. I only added two songs from the album, which is rare for funk, so it's 4.5 / 10 Best tune/s: Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock

Not able to find the album available to stream

This was great. No doubt about it

El funk, como otros géneros, por periodos me cuesta. Pero es un álbum con el que apetece ponerse a bailar con sonidos ricos. Le pongo un 4 aunque creo que por mi gusto personal sería un 3.5

In funkadelic we trust

Great album. Had to find it on YouTube.

He’s got the funk

If we really were one nation under a groove, a lot of our problems would be solved.

It's funkadelic.

es geht so ...

Finky

Day 74 Only had time to listen through once but on first listen I preferred this to maggot brain. 7/10 Highlights One Nation Under A Groove Into You

Kahju, et seda kulda Spotifys väga pole. Kuulasin albumit hoopis Youtube'st. Siin plaadil on tõesti palju head kraami. Mõned pikemad lood (kuni 10 min!) on täitsa omaette kogemused. Funki-huvilisele tundub see album olevat kohustuslik kuulamine ja mulle see ka tõesti meeldib.

Pleasant durprise

This is good enough that it pisses me off that I've become dependent on streaming (and it's just not easily available).

It’s great fun(k)! The tracks are long and a little too jammy for my personal groove, but there’s nothing not to love. I’ll take this over another Byrds or Eno album any day.

God damn, I did not know what I was missing. There are some awesome, awesome songs on here. That said, there's some long-winded jam bandy stuff that lost me. Still, 4-stars for some outright classics, and for an album that I'm sure will grow on me with more listens.

I must admit I didn’t finish this, but not because I didn’t like it. I thought it was bright and inventive without being annoying. The funk of Isley Bros without the blandness, and the jam-iness of Yes without quite so much wank.

jesus christ i love these guys. super fun to go off spotify - feels like im really digging into sound when i do so and not deferring to routine. and what a sound to dig into. it's just groovy!

Don’t love the slobbery sounds at the start Good guitar at the start of I bet you Reverb at the start of music for my mother is nice, then the stripped back guitar Zippy guitar sounds in I got a thing are good Overall it’s not my thing but musically it’s impressive

"We have been going to this same party every night for 47 years, and in no way is that pathetic!" That sounds like a joke but I'm serious: this may be my favorite funk album ever and a sonic building block for the last half-century of pop music as a whole (as well as a reminder that it was total bullshit to re-segregate pop music in the late 70s and thereby cut off the cross-pollination of genres on display here). Slash should buy Mike Hampton a house.

Awesome, but hard to find a place to stream.

Äääääh mitä tähän nyt sanois sitte. Ei mitään huonoa, muttei kyllä jäänyt mikään biisi mieleen

Vähän katkonaisesti tuli tämä levy kuunneltua läpi. Kuitenkin jäi posit fiilikset, rentoa seiskytluvun meininkiä. Sen kummemmin erottelematta pannaan neljä staraa!

Periaatteessa ihan groove-meininki, mutta jotenkin ei silti jaksanut kuunnella yhtään.

Ihan tömäkkää fänkkiä ja meininkiä. Kauheesti en aihetta tunne. Perusvarmalla siis mennään.

Funk ei ehkä ole omia genrejä, mutta nousee tämä jo yhdellä kuuntelukerralla genren keskitason yli selvästi ja kappaleet ovat monipuolisia.

Tää oli kyllä ihan kovaa ajoa. Vähän oli pitkiä biisejä ja ne rupesivat toistamaan itseään biisin sisällä, mutta sitten taas toisaalta ihan mukavan erilaisia keskenään.

For the most successful Funkadelic record it's weird that it's not available to stream, no? My son loves James Brown and we were talking about soul and rock the other day and I was saying how incredible it is that Rock Music, invented by Black people, from Sister Rosetta Thorpe to Big Mama Thornton to Chuck Berry and all the way through Jimi Hendrix, is now considered a White Sound. The scene including the modern Black shredder in Sinners encapsulated that, in a movie about White people literally sucking the life out of an entire culture. So, I loved the fact that the biggest hit on this is "Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?!" and the lead guitar is as good as anything anyone from Hendrix to...I dunno...every white kid that wanted to BE Hendrix ever tried. Does it lose a little steam toward the end? Umm...yeah. But I think that's also by design. It's a record from the 70s. You are supposed to lose yourself in this thing, not sit and critically review it for some stupid blog.

Short and funky.

Couldn’t find the album but the single was fun!

Man I'm craving ice cream...

Tons of fun. It's just so funky Favorite Song: One Nation Under A Groove

Those rythms are always a pleasure to listen to. The bass and the scent of Jamaican roots make this album a jewel.

It might be their most accessible album, even with ‘the doodoo chasers’ appealing to the teenage boy in me, but there is another, earlier album I hold in higher regard. Hint: the title track is on the EP that originally came with this album

Masterpiece, could not help but funk dance on the train from Oslo to Ålesund

'Here's a chance to dance our way / Out of our constrictions.' If you ever needed proof that funk was our very best salubrious and patriotic wager, One Nation Under A Groove would be your decisive testimony: 'W/ the united funk we can fly.' I'd press you to take them seriously: imagine what national politics could achieve under a groove rather than aligned w/ shitty powers [see '...(The Doo-Doo Chasers)']. Yes, the songs are jumbo, but for once the avant-garde - b/c that's what they really are ('Fried Ice Cream is a reality!') - is for fun and wholeness rather than masturbatory chops + licks. And don't get it twisted, it's one of the all-time rock records: 'We're gonna rock and roll the crowd / Just watch them dance, watch them dance.'

later

This isn't just an album, this is a complete experience. I haven't listened every Parliament / Funkadelic album there is, but this seems to be regarded as their last great album. And what a great album it is. It's like a blend of everything learned from their past years as a group, combined with new influences like Disco. The added live parts bring this album to life even more so. I also think the Maggot Brain performance here is better than the version on the album of the same name. What a brilliant album, I wish it were even longer.

easily a Manifesto to groove.

I think this is a cool album and wouldn't be out of play in the charts today. But it's a bit long repetitive and maybe lose a bit of concentration listening to it but a good album to have on in the background so does the job well. We need more funk and rock fusions.

not on spotify

I would rate it 6 if I could

Fun stuff going on but as a whole... Not something I'll be going back to.

I'm always happy to listen to Funkadelic, they may be a funk band but they have to be one of the greatest bands to blend genres, there a rock guitar solos on this that will blow your mind, it's funky and soulful and just a happy album.

Not a huge fan of the middle song in the album, but the rest was enjoyable.

Would be three stars but Mike Hamptons Guitar freaking sings! Also, is it mandatory that 95% of funks lyrics have to be the word funk over and over again?

Really funky, as it should. Great listen, not boring, and at least as political as it should be. Fav lyrics: Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis Fav music: Who says a funk band can't play rock Honorable mention: Maggot brain

great album

Featuring such hits as "Ladies Night, but it's not Ladies Night". I'm joking, but for a George Clinton record I thought I'd enjoy this more. Instead, it just felt pretty all over the place and never hit me with an "oh yeah!" moment.

Ameisin

This album is a real mood, and a good one at that. Definitely something I could put on and just have on in the background all day, or actively listen to; it fits both of those for me pretty well. 3.75/5

Fun album. I like this more than Maggot Brain. Doo Doo Squad represent. 3.75/5

surpreendentemente muito bom, muito divertido. Maggot Brain/Chant foi a melhor, mas em geral, músicas muito boas.

Top tier funk. Essential!

Its very weird the way that ONUAG starts by dropping you in what sounds like part way through the song. As if there is a hidden intro (or more) that they thought nah lets just cut that. Why does this album have Maggot Brain on it? Seems a bit unnecessary. This album feels like a debut album - its very loose and jam bandy (obviously). Its weird that its 7 years after Maggot Brain, it feels less mature. Nonetheless it features some absolutely insatiable funk, many many undeniable bops and boppy moments. Fave Tracks: One Nation Under A Groove, Promentalshitbackwashpsychosis Enema Squad (The Doo Doo Chasers), 3.9/5

I've said it before - the Funk never fails. And Funkadelic is the top of the Funk Pyramid. I'd give Maggot Brain an edge over One Nation, but that may just be personal taste. There's no filler on this one, either.

Do you promise to funk, the whole funk, and nothing but the funk?

I think my favorite part of Funk music is the continuous running trend of just about every song bluntly stating “You are listening to Funk. This is Funky. We Funk. Funk.” as if it isn’t the most obvious thing in the world. Man, I wanted to just give this a low rating and move on out of spite because it isn’t on Spotify. I imagined it just couldn’t possibly be that good. I was terribly, catastrophically wrong. This is Psychedelic Funk Soul Rock and at the same time, it’s genuinely funny. Unfortunately, I was listening to it without knowing the names of the songs, as again it wasn’t on Spotify, but any of the songs with extended psychedelic jams were my favorites. Those just absolutely rocked and it’s an outright SHAME that this was as hard to find as it was!!!! This one wasn’t just Funky. It was outright Funkalicious. Another Funky banger. A 5/5. Just praying this doesn’t become a trend of albums not being on any of the streaming services like this one. Docking it a point for being hard to find would just be petty of me, and I just can’t do that knowing how good this album is from top to bottom unfortunately.

This was great. The live version of maggot brain is super cool.

This is #day426 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… my second Funkadelic album, the first being Maggot Brain precisely 200 days ago on my #day225, which I rated a 4. One Nation Under A Groove is, you guess, groovy, funky, and... perhaps not as essential as Maggot Brain. This is a 3 out of 5. Looking forward to #day427.

I don’t think it’s their best but still an infectious album.

None

Pretty good

Oh he'll yeah

This was alright. Dug Maggot Brain

encantada

I enjoyed this a whole lot more than I expected to. I hate funk. But - well, it's funk, Jim, but not as we know it!

I guess this is technically considered a "late" era Funkadelic/Parliament (honestly, idk the difference) album, and you really can tell that they had mastered the art of P-funk by this point in their career. While I do love how ambitious and ahead of the curve their seminal 'Maggot Brain' is, the tracks on this album present a level of slickness that just isn't there in their earlier works, at least not to this degree. The way the band locks into these polyrhythmic and erratic grooves is hypnotizing in ways rivaled by very few. And the vocals are so smooth, lightly coasting on the airtight grooves here like they're nothing - never overpowering the rest of the music. The vocals are also super diverse on this record, like each song is sung from the perspective of some new wacked out character in this Funkadelic universe. The opening title track is one of the band's best tracks right off the bat, just the perfect funk song that creates specific itches just so it can scratch them. The following 'Groovallegiance' has this almost psychedelic reggae feel to it, but it's the vocal layering and harmonization that really make this song stand out in the mix here. It also has maybe the best build-up on the whole album. And I'm sorry, 'Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock!?' gives like Fishbone 3rd wave Ska vibes - but with those classic Funkadelic sing-along group vocals. 'Lunchmeatophobia' also gives off this vibe, with some incredibly heavy and dirty guitar playing driving the whole thing. Also, that goddamn Enema song is one of the most wacked out insane things I've ever heard - on both the vocal and lyrical front. And I kind of love everything about it; my favorite line has to be "Fried Ice Cream is a reality" because yes. ALSO, this album has a live version of the song 'Maggot Brain' as it turns out, and it maintains all the emotional power of the classic original, though with a bit more pizzazz. While I prefer the simplicity of the original, the song itself is too good, so I can appreciate this more textured take on it. This thing kicks so much ass it hurts - I need to own this shit and spin it for the rest of my life. This band is 2/2 so far on this list, but I also felt like that'd be the case anyway. Until next time, Funkadelic.

Had only ever heard Maggot Brain (which I love) so was good to hear more from Fubkadelic. This is definitely not as essential but still has some fantastic, infectious grooves. The riff to Doo Doo Chasers is so good.

Somewhere in the middle of it I had to go do something so I paused it. When I came back I was like "at least that shit ended". Then I remembered it didn't. Unpausing it was like when you get used to the smell of a decomposing corpse in your house, then you get out to buy something, and when you get back home the stench is unbearable again even though you've spent the last two weeks breathing it Bonus songs were really good but they're not from the main album so I won't factor them in

Ait

These people are making music from another planet in a different dimension. This exists ion its own level. Really impressive.

Couldn't find this album. Listened to Funkadelic - Funkadelic. Wasn't as much funk as I expected. It was fine

Alright

Finally, a politcaly movement I can get behind. One Nation, Under A Groove, Indivisible, with liberty and FUNK for all.

Not my cup of tea

Only three out of ten songs were available in my country, one of which was a remix of another one. Luckily, all funk sounds the same, so I don't think I missed anything.

really really.... werid album. Was not bad just not really that great

Obviously funky, but perhaps less obviously rocks pretty hard as well. Guitar is very enjoyable. About as mad a collection of track names as you could imagine having. I'm definitely under this groove though.

This is a treat. Super easy to listen to, super catchy, super fun.

Whilst it was funky, it wasn't what I was expecting. Less big band funk, more rock band funk. Enjoyable but didn't make me want to listen again.

Considering the band name this did not have enough funk for me

Funky. The first song is by far the standout, however overall an album I enjoyed with a bit of variety.

Some good funk tunes, but tailed off a bit

Good funky grooves

Heard to find this one

These songs had some great grooves on it. Funky rhythmic easy listening groove music.

A very silly album, in a fun way. I'm glad I listened to it. The comedy songs would be hard to listen to again, but the rest were great.

Wonderful Funk album. You can't beat this one. Solid all the way through. The world is alright as long as we have Bootsy Collins. My Rating: 5/5

A standout soul album with smooth grooves, silky vocals, and a bassline that pulls you in. The rock-influenced guitars and punchy drums add extra edge, making it more than just classic soul. A perfect entry point for anyone curious about the genre. 9/10.

I had trouble listening to this whole thing as it wasn’t on streaming. But it was a good funk album!

I once had moral diarrhea after going to Wing Stop. Thank god for this album, I can finally clean up my doo-doo.

Three funk songs that have a sum of over an hour. Laced with electric guitar solos in pure squibly-doo style. I admit that my mind was elsewhere while listening, and whilst it was cool to hear something new, I didn't feel particularly captivated by it. 3 Stars.

This album is like a tailgate party before an LA Rams game in the 70s. The game doesn't kick off for a few hours, but the crowds have made their way to the carpark outside the stadium nice and early to get hyped for the game. There are about eighteen different barbeques cooking burgers and pork chops within a three hundred metre radius, and every car boot has a chilly bin filled with beers in it. People walk from car to car, sharing a beer and a yarn with people they have never met before and will never speak to again after the game. The crowd is a diverse cross section of all that Los Angeles has to offer. Suburban families, low-level street criminals, LSD-fuelled hippes, Silicon Valley tech-bros, crack heads who aren't going to the game but love the chance to scab a beer are all mingling together amongst each other. Obviously these people wouldn't normally look twice at each other, but their local sports team has brought them together into a short-term community, and they are enjoying every moment of it.

A solid funk album. Good groves and keeps you interested

I'm not high enough for this, and I'm pretty high. Galactic grooves, loads of cheese, not their best work but has some tasty peaks!

Funky funky funky ass music!

And on the last day god took a little bit of Bob Marley, some Jimi Hendrix, a dollop of James Brown and a powerful dilution of Andre 3000. And he looked upon his creation and he saw that it was good. He saw that it was VERY good. He called his creation One Nation Under A Groove. But he was a jealous god and he feared that his subjects would turn instead to and worship the false god George Clinton. So he hid his creation away, far from the greedy eyes of Youtube Music subscribers. But the people were not deterred and they seeked out Funkadelic, and they listened, and they swooned in joyous rapture. And it was good, very good.

George Clinton & the P-Funk All-Stars were my second concert ever, and even with only a vague awareness of their catalog, I was instantly pulled into the party. That same energy lives here. This album is pure Funkadelic- funky, fresh, and irresistibly danceable. It’s the kind of record that makes you realize how impossible it is to talk about funk without talking about George Clinton and everything he touched. Historically, One Nation Under a Groove was their commercial peak, a defining moment where funk stretched out into the mainstream without losing its edge. The title track alone became an anthem, but the whole album showcases that blend of groove, humor, and psychedelic weirdness that made P-Funk a movement, not just a band.

I love this weird ass shit. FEET DONT FAIL ME NOW.

Here's our chance to dance our way out of our constrictions...feet don't fail me now! I hereby pledge a groovallegiance to the funk, The United Funk of Funkadelica! I get misty-eyed imagining what a wonderful world it would be if the title track to this album were in fact our national anthem. Actually, all of Side One of this album operates as a utopian manifesto that is guaranteed to make you smile while you're dancing your ass off. Unfortunately, Side Two starts out pretty stupid and only partially redemms itself. So it goes. Do you promise to funk? The whole funk, and nothing but the funk?

This is actually my second listen to this album in this collection, but it was so long ago it's a bit like listening to it again for the first time. The main album is a bit slower than I remember, with only the title track and (to some degree) "Who says a funk band can't play rock?!" standing out, but "Lunchmeataphobia" and the live track part of "Maggot brain" on the bonus EP is also a fun addition. And I like the idea that this album has an element of progressive rock in it, although it feels more like prog funk than anything else (if that's even a thing). It does feel like Funkadelic (or at least the two albums we get in this project) is a kind of red-headed step-child to Parliament, despite having largely the same musicians on most albums; I've enjoyed both of the Funkadelic albums, but not as much as Parliament, I'll admit. And I think I prefer "Maggot Brain" (the album, not the bonus EP song) to this one. "THINK -- THINK -- THINK -- IT AIN'T ILLEGAL YET"

This only took off for me with "Cholly" which I didn't realize was the album's last track because I was listening to the EP, and the next two songs, with Cholly, were the best part. Not their greatest but they've got the funk.

If you don't like this album, you're a doo doo chaser!

Peak funkiness, they are the masters of this sound and style

I loved, it’s perfect, it is exactly what I need

Wow! That was fantastic. I'd only heard greatest hits compilations of Funkadelic before but this album completely took me on a trip away from the grey evening here while I endure another bout of covid. I'll be buying a vinyl copy of the album for myself this week. Magical.

Actually couldn’t find on any streaming platform so gave it a default 3

One Nation Under a Groove is packed with groove, personality, and that unmistakable Funkadelic spirit, but it does not always land evenly. The title track is an undeniable classic, a joyful, infectious anthem that captures everything great about funk in under six minutes. “Who Says a Funk Band Can’t Play Rock?!” brings in the heavier edge with plenty of bite, and “Groovallegiance” keeps the flow loose and playful. Outside of the highlights, though, some of the jams feel a bit stretched, more about the vibe than the songwriting. The musicianship is never in question — the basslines are tight, the guitars sparkle and snarl, and the vocals bring both humor and attitude — but not every track sticks once the album’s over. One Nation Under a Groove is fun, funky, and full of energy, but it works better in parts than as a whole.

Put on your sunglasses and get ready to funkify yourself.

10/10 first track, the rest is good but not great

Love me some funk

Good album. As always, incredible bass coming out of funkadelic.

The album is no longer on Spotify. Listened to the title song though

Highlight Song/s: Groovallegiance Really solid, not much to say. But solid grooves, solid bass and amazing guitar lines. I found this a lot more tolerable than Mothership Connection, yes its by Parliament, similar enough to me. Mothership was completely un-listenable after the halfway point due to it being insanely repetitive. This was not. Here's hoping Maggot Brain is good.

Ótimos momentos de guitarras (o melhor do disco) nas faixas finais, a partir de "Lunchmeataphobia (Think! It Ain't Illegal Yet!)" - na versão do YouTube que está diferente do álbum original - salvam o disco de seu tom confuso. Estas faixas são realmente incríveis!

Way back on Day 8 of this project I generated Maggot Brain by Funkadelic and it blew my mind, the title track literally gave me goosebumps. I had actually forgotten they had another album on the list so I was genuinely excited to see this pop up today and it did not disappoint. This is an absolute BANGER of an album. It’s too early to say if I rate it as highly as Maggot Brain but it’s definitely going to be close. Top Track - Who Says A Funk Band Can’t Play Rock?

The source.

Hmph, first album I can't play on Spotify. Maybe it was the lack of flow from Youtubing every song but never got into this one.

Album is not streaming

I pledge allegiance, to the funk

Couldn't listen to it via streaming. But sure I would've loved it.

I funks with it

S’good!

Groovy and funky.

En nyt tiiä kuuluko tässä olla 3 vai 10 biisiä...koska lukee 10 mut näkyy vaan 3. Mutta oli oikein funky. Mielenkiintoinen. Hyväntuulinen. Laadukas.

Not on Spotify? 🤔

Not on spotify

Funky and groovy as hell!Absolute fun and bliss to my ears!RnB/hIP-hoP never was sexier and boogie-r than in this album!Clever underground naming of songs definatelly ads to the loose fun/funk factor and maybe ispired others like Underworld's Dubnobasswithmyheadman album titling? i mean there is a little something for all in this album,see Who says a Funk band can't play Rock which says it all! 4 stars for me for some of the long plays except for the live Maggot Brain take which is one of the best phychedelic rock tracks i've ever heard and never wanted to end but it does with the crowd chanting ''think it ain't illegal yet''prologuing next song!

Clinton and the crew manages to craft a mind melding funk psychedelic landscape as only they do best. A milestone in music that would go onto greatly influence modern hip-hop, rock, and other acts

who says a jazz band can't play funk? funkgroovylatenightvibesandrhythms weird versions on Spotify, will have to pick up on CD. One Nation Under A Groove is undoubtedly one of the best songs of all time. 4.5* but will round up, would happily return at any point.

Not bad but not for me

Interesting

I wish i loved something as much as these guys love funk. A big, sprawling, joyous, filthy, angry, funky oddessy

So much great groove and playing going on! But I don’t like the songs very much at all, unfortunately

Couldn’t find complete album but listened to songs. Not what I perfer

Great funk. Great grooves. I'm all about this!

Not necessary my cup of tea. But nice listening wile working.

A parade of funk. It’s hard not to move sitting at my desk. Gotta get this on YouTube, I'm bummed I can't add these songs to my playlist.. Views (lol): 3 Playlist Candidates: - One Nation Under a Groove - Groovallegiance - Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?! - Into You - Cholly (Funk Getting Ready To Roll!)

Couldn't listen because f$ck Spotify, but I know this band slaps. I have to assume a default score of 3 stars
