Mothership Connection

Great album. Listened to it three times already and will be listening to it a lot more!

PFunk, Yeah!

Just a fun, funky album. At least one of these songs I’ve played in the Ravens Band. Really refreshing to hear.

GodDAMN this is funky. 5 stars.

A 38 minute groove.

Impossible to listen to and not bob your head constantly. Absolute banger.

Album art:4

Fantastic funk. Really made my day when I listened to this on my way to work

5/5 - Having never listened to Parliament, this was excellent - I see why they are in the same vein as James Brown; a fun listen

I've never listened to Parliament before, but I clearly should have.

Exquisitely funky. Genius. I love the P-Funk

Loved it

Fetzt

Very funky! Reminds me of the Superbad soundtrack

follow placermemes

Funky as hell love it

We want the funk!

Excellent! Great for lifting any bad mood

great!!

Funky profund. Troll

V.good. And funky

Magnifico

Mocny pretendent do obecnie najczarniejszego albumiku listy, czyli koncepcyjny albumik o kosmicznych murzynach, wyglada na ciekawy pomysl, a brzmi jeszcze lepiej biarac pod uwage kto jest za niego odpowiedzialny, bo parliamentowa banda, a raczej funkodelicowo-parliamentowa to superband na miare mozliwosci kulturowych post nixonowskich murzynskich gett lat 70, wiec tak jak dawniej byly bandy jazzowe ktore graly w 40 osob jak u mingusa, tak przyszla pora na przenesienie tej skali do swiata funkowego rocka, nie bede sie rozpisywal na temat murzynow kosmicznych, bo jest to tylko niewielka czesc uniwersum zbudowanego na przestrzeni albumikow bandy, na co trzeba zwrocic uwage to minimalizm jesli chodzi o overdubing, to jest zywa muzyka taka jaka by moglaby byc grana live stad takie potezne rozmaiary bandowe, ludzie do klaskania, tupania oraz operowania instrumentalami i syntezatorem klawiszowym jak przysstalo na funk, ale nie jest to syntezator w twoja twarz jak to zazwyczja bywa, mastermindem ktory takze udzielal sie wokalnie byl George Clinton funkowa wersja Mingusa wymieszanego z Sun Ra, nie chodzi mi tylko o kosmiczne koncepty, ale o to jak muzyka jest zywa, jak kazde dobre dzielo artystyczne albumik byl inspoiracja dla kolejnych murzynskich wieszczy lat 90, gdzie sample z niego mozemy znalesc po obu stronach USA, czy to u dr dree i snoopa lub wu tangow, malo jest materialow ktore mialy wplyw na instrumentalne brzmienie rapu lat 90, jesli musze wybrac cos na plejliste to wrzucane unfunky ufo oraz star childa, jesli nie mam juz tego na dodanego, ale plyta ma tylko 38 minut, wiec jesli odpala sie, to zazwyczaj cala plyta jest sluchana

Really good, funky album

This album is just so good i think my words fail me

Funky <3

Very great album, I love it

Is it possible to not have a good time listening to this album? Nonstop groovin’ from start to finish and it’s infectious. Favorite track(s): “Unfunky UFO” and “Give Up the Funk”

Wow, blast from the funky past!

good funky

Magnificent funkadelia

Yes. All of this. All the time.

Love old funk!

gotta have that funk

Just good plain FUNK!

So futuristic and influential. Creative and fun funk music.

Best Funk in the Business!

Amazing!

true funk

Phenomenal album from start to finish. Opening track is high energy and it doesn't let you all album. Great grooves, basslines, arrangements. Killer album.

Classic

Funk

If there were any justice in the world Bernie Worrell would have been on top of the Forbes list based on royalty checks alone.

Love the funk!

Make my funk the P-Funk too! I also want to get funked up! Dr. Dre owes these guys his post-NWA career. This is a good listen. And in the Parliament vs. Funkadelic debate, I like this better than One Nation Under a Groove so far. Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker) is tremendous. Night Of the Thumpasorus Peoples is silly, but I like the groove.

If its good enough for Dr Dre then its good enough for me

That bass tone is such an achievement. Great stuff

Ça groove et ça funk

C'était très cool, j'ai vraiment aimé, good vibes!

Absolute classic, never heard it before. But it felt like I had, thanks to how many times it has been sampled

Die funk is funking

Here is the funk !

We need the funk. Give up the funk.

P-funk！（pure funk）第一首就順耳，抓我，怎麼能夠差呢這張專輯？ 太讚了這張專輯，雖然不知道為什麼第八首Star Child（Mothership Connection）不能播放網路上也找不到但這張專輯真的太驚豔我了…… 一點爵士的鋼琴，一點funk，再一點🎷，再一些bass與大鼓，再一些和聲🤩 所有東西拆開都可以各自成為一個曲風，合在一起就變成了P-funk...太讚了…

This album sounds great! Not my style, but I can appreciate the artistry and craft.

Good album, fun experience. All the songs are enjoyable. Funk, synths, phasers.

Funky as hell now where are my sunglasses

Rico, funky.

Groovy baby, nice of good tunes for my wee walk rather

Really funky and very good

Overall really enjoyable

#1025. This album makes you like it, whether you want to or not. 4/5: funk

Ever wonder why funk bands even exist that don't include George Clinton or Stevie Wonder?

Very fun funk album

SERIOUS funk. What a fun album to listen to. Never really got into this genre before but I really enjoyed it. Faves: P-funk Supergroovalisticprosifunkification Handcuffs Give up the funk Wasn’t a fan of the last song thought it kind of let the album down

Love to funk!

heck yeah funky af - ruined my waffles that morning but I had some tunes

Very funky. Very nice.

Delightfully familar and zany. All the songs here are strong.

What a catchy, groovy, and fun album to get on Monday! My rating was right between a 3 and a 4 and leaning towards a 4 when "We Want the Funk" came on and it firmly cemented itself as a 4/5 for me. Couldn't have asked for a better way to start the week! Make my funk the P Funk and don't forget your sunglasses! 4/5

Great album... and if the number-of-times-sampled is a measure, this one's way up there.

Неплохой фанк.

Gorgeous P-funk album. The beats are phenomenal, and Maceo Parker's sax is out of this world. You know it's a classic when about half the album has been sampled to death by 80s and 90s West Coast rappers. My only gripe with this record (as often with George Clinton's work) is the unnecessary overabundance of speeches and narrative parts. It's amusing for a minute, but it kind of ruins the funky mood for me. Less talk, more music ! Other than that, it's just great fun. 7/10

Funky

Fun

(5/7) they have "the funk" indeed

WE WANT THE FUNK

Really enjoyed this on first listen. Proper funky! Will deffo come back to this. Really fun listen.

La presenza di un narratore nei panni del DJ radiofonico, lega le tracce creando un'esperienza interessante di ascolto, non vedo l'ora di farlo partire in macchina. Inoltre apprezzo molto quando il contenuto di un album conferma le aspettative create da una copertina.

Looooved it. the FUNK! Favourite tracks: Mothership Connection, Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication and Give Up The Funk Keeping it from a 5 is mainly the length of the tracks, but still.. THE FUNK

Would give a 4.5 if we could do half stars. Dance music just isn’t my genre, but I have a soft spot for some funk and this is FUNK! Listened to it twice, awesome workout/driving music. Now I’m gonna have “Give up the Funk” stuck in my head all week. Not that mad about it.

Funky

Funkalicious. 7/10

Super fly! Even though I barely ever listen to funk, I found this listened crisp and fresh despite its age. Cool to find out that dr dre used bits from star child. Awesome.

Smooth cool Funk; Parliament is always a choice for a good mood session

FUNky!

I wonder how many people, now, know where The Chronic came from

A really good upbeat, funky soul album. I listen to this straight through without referencing any of the track names, but I didn't feel as though I needed to. One track just rolled into the next into the next and cut up that grey upbeat, funky rolling bass line with a solid drums. I wouldn't say that this album did anything extraordinary, but it did the regular things really well. Not an outstanding five-star album but definitely a good four-star.

Fantastic funk … and fun to see it was basically the basis for Dr. Dre’s The Chronic 4

Excellent highly accessible funk. Might become a 5.

Funk

7 - blow me where the pampers is…it’s George Clinton and the parliament funkadelic

Funky Grove i enjoyed it

Very funky indeed.

Oh man - P-Funk is second only to the Meters for funk, saw this album and was excited. So many iconic songs and you can hear the fun the band is having. The hardest thing with this album is deciding between 4 and 5 stars. Btw - the fact that 1001 albums includes nothing by the Meters is a sign it's a garbage list. I suppose there was just soooo much worthy Britpop that there was no room for the GOAT funk band. After all, we really needed to listen to 'A Grand Don't Come For Free'.

nice music but was not my type to enjoy along. good for background

Weird 😯

FUNK!!!! i like

FUNKYYYYY

Pure funky goodness. What a fun, no worries album.

Today is disclosure day! If we ever come in contact with the mothership, I can only hope it involves GC and Parliament! From beginning to end, this album is a blast. I can't explain it and don't want to. If you don't enjoy this album, my guess is that you will likely not make it through the list. This is Funk for Funk's Sake. Worth every juicy note.

funk de calidad favs "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)" y "Night of the Thumpasorus Peoples" 4.2

Isch zwar nöd s wildiste Album aber hät fett bockt

Macht mehr Spaß als ich erwartet hätte. Sehr angenehm nebenbei.

Funky!

love this

Had me skipping on my feet.Very groovy and full of life

Well they ain't The Temptations of Prince but us gotta love the funk. I've always enjoyed Motown and good soul music. I wish there was more of that these daze. PARLIAMENT did a great job and painted a picture in my mind as I listened and fell funky.

Really fun album. Love it.

Love this album. Defining the original funk genre. Criminally underrated whist being so influential.

fire

Parliament (and funk from this era generally) always makes me think of my mom, so my rating for this album is definitely biased. However, I can't consciously remember hearing any of these songs before except for Give Up The Funk. This album is groovy front to back, has an interesting intergalactic throughline, and is overall an excellent 70's funk album. Favorite Tracks: Unfunky UFO, Handcuffs, Give Up The Funk

Now THIS is the George Clinton shit I'm here for. The Bomb.

So many songs I didn’t realize were all on the same album

4/5 - Good funk

Pretty cool stuff.

I am the least funky human being on the planet, but I enjoyed this record. I feel like this is the platonic ideal of a funk record. Even if this isn't your style, as it wasn't mine, it's upbeat and it moves quickly.

Funk you!!

Classic funk album that everyone should listen to

Who wants the funk?

Heavy duty funk. At the cusp of absurd but they pull it off. Fun and entertaining album.

Don’t make the obvious joke, don’t make the obvious joke, don’t make the obvious joke Funk it! This album really funked my shit up, man!

A tight 38 minutes of groove. 3.75/5.

For such a staple funk album and band I expected more from this album. I knew some of the more famous songs this was my first time listening to the whole thing. Overall pretty groovy with a lot of good bass lines.

Fun and funky!

WE GOTTA HAVE THE FUNK!!! George Clinton delivers once again. Last time we encountered his Parliament-Funkadelic collective in this challenge, we got Maggot Brain, one of the best ever slices of psychedelic funk rock put to wax. This time, it's Mothership Connection by their other alias Parliament - pure groovy, ass-shaking P-funk, all bouncing bass and squelching synths. Just as glorious, just as groovy, just as FUNKY.

This album is the sound of a whole crew of people having the time of their lives and I love it.

Such a smooth experience. The sounds still feels relevant and interesting, maybe because I'm not a big funk connoisseur. Anyways, it's going on my playlist.

Positive, upbeat, funky. 8 songs, easy to listen to.

Extra points because my Dad was super in to this and I always knew he was cool as hell.

The grandaddy of all funk music. Contains P-Funk, Give Up The Funk, and the title track, with so much funky bass, silly spoken word stream-of-consciousness interludes and goofy vocal effects. Classic funky riffs. Bootsy Collins and George Clinton. Unfunky UFO is a monster groove as are the rest of the non-famous tracks.

funkalicious perhaps

me gusto mucho la portada antes de escucharlo. se me hacen muy largas las canciones, pero me gusta el ritmo

Outstanding music.

Hmm, a 70s funk album. This is looking good. One of the first things you notice about this album is that it doesn't take itself seriously at all. It wants to party and get, well, funky. It does, with the energetic horns and groovy bass beats that define the genre. Vocals are pretty good, but the spoken word can get tedious(to say nothing of the lyrics, which are very superficial and unimportant). Many of the songs have overlong runtimes for what they are(various spoken word bits and sung bits placed over frequently repetitive music). This is a good album and an enjoyable one that knows what it is, but the numerous musical fallacies of the era that the band falls into cannot be overlooked. Or perhaps I don't know how to have fun... This album is ranked #7 of 22 albums for 1975. Other 1975 albums rated by me: Wish You Were Here(1/22)-5 A Night At The Opera(2/22)-5 Physical Graffiti(3/22)-4 Blood on the Tracks(4/22)-3 That's the Way of the World(8/22)-5 Red Headed Stranger(11/22)-5

We got the funk!

Funkalicious, funkadelic, funking funktastic.

Solid

Un super album avec des sonorités vraiment cool mais je trouves la seconde partie de l'album un peu en-dessous de la première.

I'll take more of that sound in my life for $500 Trebek. That's something I would have wanted to see live.

Loved it

Extremely funky

This album made me listen to Black Cow by Steely Dan

I listened for the first time over the course of a very gentle and lazy morning without interruption, and I listened a second time when I was more awake, dealing with work frustrations and annoyances. Before I even got to the music, this album had already made an impact on me by finally helping me understand how Parliament-Funkadelic works: what I had always just hand-waved away as being one band is more of an artistic collective usually releasing music under two different names for two different vibes. Mothership Connection is propelled by a very light-hearted sense of humor and an untouchable vibe: the instrumentals don't make any major steps or movements, primarily staying within their groove and carrying on at a gentle pace. Connecting with his album seems to rely on whether or not you can get into the groove of any specific song, as the actual music itself is always incredibly funky and well-performed. For my personal enjoyment, the biggest determining factor tended to be whether or not the vocals caught me: the songs which stood out were the ones which were more vocally interesting. The keys, horns, and synths constantly shone from song to song, and I can recognize just how unfathomably funky this entire album is even if it doesn't all jump out at me personally. Highlights: P-Funk (Wants To Get Funked Up), Mothership Connection (Star Child), Handcuffs, Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker)

The kind of music you can throw on at a party and just vibe to, which obviously has its merits. I just don't feel the need to lock in on any of it so much.

I mean, it's a groovy record and brought a smile to my face on a pretty stressful day. Was nice to tell my problems to "funk off." 4/5

Objectively good, just not really my thing I guess

I love the 70s funk, but Parliament isn't as powerful as Stevie Wonder or Funkadelic, whom I prefer. Still, this is some inspiring r&b. 3.5/5

Not big into funk music but this was a fun listen. 7/10

Funk as a genre seems to just not exist anymore. Maybe because everyone agreed they nailed it with this and we can move on.

First day back in work after 10 days of annual leave. This made it easier. Funky.

Very good

I wonder how many times they say "funk" on this. As if you could mistake it for anything else

This album is mental, in a good way. The synth noises are like funk satire at times, some of the vocals make me feel like I'm listening to Flight of the Concords (who were obviously big fans), the horns the chants. I can't tell if it's too much or not enough.

This is almost the definition of Oldschool funk! Is it over the top, yes absolutely! But it grooves like nothing else. It's not my absolute favourite sound, all that musical kitsch and bling, but it is extremely well made and sometimes a bit of funky fun is just all you need.

Time to feel the funk! Head bobbing along with pretty much every single tune on this 7 track album. Highly entertaining.

I’m partial to a bit of funk and this landed nicely - it helps there is some familiarity in the form of Give up the Funk but also their influence on other artists, the most notable from this listen was on Warren G.

- super funkyyy - alr knew give up the funk was a banger before this album - realized the whole album is a banger - funky = good relisten quality. - easy to get into - love the deep vocals with the funky weird guitar sounds - just claps. - we want the funk! Give up the funk! Nowwww

A solid slab of Funk.

Funky! I wanted to dance I wanted to listen it was a nice experience ❤️ looking forward to listening again

It's pretty cool, lots of rythm and soul. I just think some tracks ran a bit long for my personal taste, but otherwise it's focused and diverse

This is the funky shit! Og det må være et af Dr. Dre’s yndlings albums. Han har ihverfald samplet det meste i sin G-Funk periode. Det rykker også ret hårdt.

4/5

This album puts the FUN in FUNK. This is the kind of thing I hoped to get out of listening through the list, something I would have never spun up on my own, might not spin up again, but thoroughly enjoyed listening through it. Really enjoyed Handcuffs but everything on this album just sort of bumps along while you bob your head.

My god, what an album. It was tough listen due to how much I wanted to dance while listening to it. I have always heard about funk music, today I understood it. Masterfully produced, the instruments were second to none, the vocals were banging, over-all crazy album. Added to my offline rotation. It made me feel like bully Maguire from Spider-Man 3. FUNK IT UP! Favourite song in the album - Night of The Thumpasorus Peoples No. of favourited songs - 7/7 Rating - 4/5

incredible. i feel funkalicious

I think this one has to be 4 stars (I wish I could justify 5). Best song, an old fave for me, is Give Up the Funk. After that, everything else is pretty good to good (at times very good), but, at the same time, doesn't really stand out all that much for me. Also, I'm tempted to say that the same qualities that make this special -- the creativity and imagination -- also make it a little . . . shambolic? (Look it up -- I did, to make sure it was what I wanted to say, lol.) Bonus points for historical importance -- keeping the funk/freak flag flying through the 70s, uniting the Sly Stone and James Brown strains of funk (I saw that this album features Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker from James Brown's backing band, the J.B.'s), with some Afro-Futurism thrown in, to boot(sy). Bootsy Collins is a funk bass giant. Bernie Worrell later played with the Talking Heads ("Stop Making Sense" era). I guess it feels like 5 stars should be granted stingily, so I think 4 stars feels right for this one.

Essential funk

wasn't expecting that

mega funky

How can you not rate this less than 4 stars? So many classics on a single album

Nice groove. Different music for me

Let's funk it up! The backbone of the funk itself. Pure blast of fun with no brakes.

That was a whole box of funky fun.

"We've got the funk" - They really weren't lying!

It's impossible not to smile when listening to this. Parliament/Funkadelic represents probably the best of this genre. A great way to start my Friday. I do love me some Bootsy Collins bass.

It’s fun and it’s funky!

epic

This album's got me funked up

Funky junky and good time dancing music. Big fan.

Como no conocía este sonido

It makes you happy, 'nuff said.

yes

Very funky. Good first album for me

Nothing like listening to this walking through Edinburgh airport at 6 in the morning…

Taking funk to outer space

Funkadelic. Love this

Timeless Sunday morning groove which is impossible to believe is 51 years young. There are so many places you hear his influence (Prince anyone?) and there's a very good reason he got a Sinners cameo! A very respectful 4*

Great funk for any old punk!

Very funky

Great album. It was a funky journey.

These guys ran so that OutKast could fly. A joyful listen. Not quite a blind listen but close.

This album was a funk explosion! I need more intergalactic funk emissaries in my life. I love the commitment to the bit too

Heard it described as a parody of funk, which is fair. The theme is funk. And space/afrofuturism. The music is really good, and the overall aesthetic is cool

Love this album

Excellent!

WE WANT THE FUNK!!!!!!!

Funk as fuck!

This album really funked me up

Everyone needs a healthy amount of funk in their life

Groovy

an awesome collection of funk music and an absolute must listen for anyone wanting a well rounded musical repertoire. Almost a 5, would've given a 4.5 if allowed.

Funky, psychedelic banger.

7.5/8

Very fun and extremely funky, with commentary that bounces between goofy, politically charged, and uplifting. Remarkably indulgent and rich, although the songs are a bit too long (admittedly, less an issue with the record and more with the way I listen to records). It's not willing to get silly, and really turn every single musical idea up to 11. I haven't listened to much funk beyond stuff released post-2000, and this is far more committed to the vibe than most of what I've heard. Handcuffs's lyrics feels a little creepy to me, though. And the album reaches such critical funk by the end that the bass turns into a fart and the chorus devolves into "gagagooga" (which is honestly extremely peak and I love it). 4/5!

Funky and Fun.

Has to be one of the most sampled records ever, and with good reason!

Lovely

love some funk

Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker)

YES.

Funky to the max. Palju eksperimenteerimist kõlade ja vormidega. Aga ilmselgelt plaat, mis on paljusid teisi inspireerinud. Palju seotust lugude vahel ei ole ning vaid mõni lugu on selline, mis jääb ka meelde. Aga meeldiv kuulamine ikka. 3.5/5

Unreal amounts of funk

So corny but so fun and sounds great

have a funky friday

Literalmente es el hermano groovy de Funkadelic, fue bien interesante escuchar ambos grupos de George Clinton para comprender los contrastes y honestamente si hay muchas diferencias en temas y mensajes en cada grupo, pero lo que es un hecho es que están hechos de Funk del más puro, eso es amor al Funk genuino, no habría muchas otras razones por las cuales tener 2 bandas y las dos así de potentes Este álbum tiene de temática visitantes de otro planeta, que vienen a salvar la tierra a punta de Funk, la verdad que si se rifaron en su esfuerzo, aunque sea hicieran este planeta un poco mejor No tengo una favorita personal, pero el primer sencillo te mete en la experiencia y de ahí sigue avanzando bastante bien y de manera consistente, no tiene ningún flop por ahí Me sigue pareciendo número 1, One Nation Under The Groove, pero este lo pondría poquito abajo de Maggot Brain Es un gran universo este de Funkadelic-Parliament

Love it, funny

Space funk! What fun! The monologues did drag at times, but overall I had a great time. I appreciate the theatricality of it all and the vocal plus instrumental double-whammy really elevated it for me, so lively!

experimental pero un gran disco

That was such a groovy and funky adventure/ride. I was in a chilly universe, having a Space Beer with my friends while I was piloting a spaceship. I enjoyed iiit !

I've always loved a few of these tracks and it was a fun re-listen. What clicked this time through was that behind all the zany antics is a very diligently crafted album, i guess you could say the production. They created the vibe that you're walking into a raucous party and everyone has an instrument and it should sound like shit, but it works so well, no note out of place. On the negative side, not a lot of depth in the actual song writing, pretty repetitive.

Pretty good. A little bit cheesy

Funky

>funky >not rly my genre >got to the end and was actually really enjoying it to my surprise

very funky and metallic? i enjoyed most of the songs.

the funkiest funk to ever funk. p

immaculate vibes actually. This album laid the foundation for so much modern music and it still holds up really well. Sure, not everything here has aged perfectly, and there was a lot of weird, possible fart noises on the outro, but I still had a lot of fun with it

Solid vocals, short & sweet album. Loved the concept. Dancing is mandatory! I will say, the first track (P-Funk) was the highlight for me, and unfortunately set the bar a bit too high for some of the following tracks. I also wasn't a fan of the "barefoot & pregnant" reference, but I guess it was just a popular phrase at the time. Nonetheless, the record was still really good as a whole. My highlights were: - P-Funk - Mothership Connection (Starchild) - Give Up the Funk This was my first (intentional) listen to funk music, and it was a great intro! Hopefully this album only grows on me!

Yeah! Funk!

Really fun and enjoyable. Literally slaps funk in your face.

Extraterrestrial funk, to get you out of a funk

a classic

Absolutely loved this album. A lot of samples I knew from the Dr Dre - the chronic album. Pleasantly surprised. Every song has a charm to it.

Great album for Old School Funk-fans. Extremely talented musicians and great arrangements, especially in the brass section.

Probably my favourite funk album! SO good. Never thought I'd enjoy the genre this much, particularly Unfunky UFO and Supergroova-etc.

Now THAT's what a call a goddamn ALBUM!!! I would rather listen to solely concept albums for the rest of my life. I'm sick of this boring mixtape shit where songs sound either vaguely related or just like they were stapled together so they could sell a stupid little album. A want a goddamn THEME a STORY a VIBE!!!!!

j'avais déjà P-funk dans mes titres likés, jamais écouté l'album, c'est pas déplaisant mais c'est un peu trop pour moi

the funk-o-meter hit its maximum by the first song. starting off this album a day strong with this one. this genre has the power to get you dancing no matter what mood you are in. mother funking great album! fav song: unfunky ufo

So funky it makes me want to handcuff a woman lolol. What a fun album.

Not a huge funk fan generally but this album is pretty awesome. Fat and dirty.

A legendary band and album. Seventies funk at its absolute peak. A great listen that just keeps finding new ways to get you grooving.

Funky. No songs that stuck in my head but I enjoyed grooving to it

Had never heard of it before, but nice funk sounds.

Yeah

An iconic album for about a dozen reasons. George Clinton is an absolute legend and genius. He took the elements of like five different genres, blended them beautifully, and essentially created an entirely new one in the process. I know James Brown and Sly Stone were right there too, but something about George Clinton's vision of funk sounds cooler - like it literally came from outer space.

Objectively some of the coolest stuff ever recorded. George Clinton, the greatest Clinton.

A whole star for We Want the Funk alone

One of the most forward thinking albums ever. George, Bernie, Bootsy, Maceo = Geniuses Give up the funk is one of my favorite songs ever, flanked by an albums worth of exploration and curiosity in the soul and funk outer space. If the album was slightly longer with an additional banger it would be a perfect album, maybe the closer.

What the funk!?!

Me gustó mucho el feeling del álbum, te hace sentir esa vibra de la época si ser empalagador. Solo creo que en ocasiones se siente un poco repetitivo pero volvería a escucharlo

It's a very energetic funk album; I liked most of the songs, but there were one or two where the vocals and the backing track didn't quite mesh. But it definitely transports you to a fun, nostalgic past.

Fun album. Listening to this made me think about other albums where singers have alter egos. On the same space vibe I thought about David Bowie and Janelle Monae. Favorite songs: P-Funk, Mothership Connection, Give Up The Funk

rock o blues?? muy bueno

It’s pretty cool.

Fantastically funky, a pretty good funkin' album.

Amazing, really good a great way to get back into funk. The musicians are fantastic.

FUNKY AS FUCK

This album was so fun and I was bopping along to every track. I feel like this would be more fun to hear live, and each song was a couple minutes longer than I wanted (which again, longer songs are more fun live)

Groove, such a vibe dream. A journey with a whole energetic and pleasant ride.

What I went in expecting, still thoroughly enjoyed it

P-Funk, baby!

Nothing to complain about here. Funky fun. Favorite Songs: Mothership Connection (Star Child)

Funky! Very good album. Glad to have been introduced.

Very 70’s funk!

Album 150. Mothership Connection (https://open.spotify.com/album/734MC4wQsfNWsg9HLTrUoN?si=PkcNObkuQCiU9_GlMjY_qQ) — Parliament (1975) I like this funk album and UFO theme. Maybe because I'm an alien. 4/5 Liked: — Mothership Connection (Star Child)

Give Up the Funk is one of the most recognizable songs of it's genre. George, Bootsy and all the PFunk all stars are hitting on all cylinders here.

So delicious, so funky. I love trailblazing nerds 🔥

Some of the best funk

Very good

A little funk is just what I needed to pull myself out of one. I couldn’t help but feel the joy with some head bopping and a little smirk on my face even when it seems like the world around me is a complete mess.

That was an essential álbum to understand the funky feeling

Surprised myself by liking this one. Had never heard of the artist and didn't do any research before playing, so didn't give myself the opportunity to decide I don't usually like funk. Listening to this feels like I'm mingling round a cocktail party in the 70s. Although I might not come back to it, it's cool. I particularly liked 'Handcuffs' for the vocal performance

sonidos voces vibras 10/10 no puedo creer que tengo 50 años !!! muy buena banda no la conocia 🙏🏻

Funk funk y más funk. Se habrá inventado aquí? se escucha muy innovador pero me cansa un poco. Lo bueno es que dura poco. Los black crows se robaron la última canción del disco.

Funky and fun, a great listen.

reminds me of my dad

Great band

lekker funky

Classic. Reminds me of my mom. Also just realized let me ride is a sample from this album which is awesome.

We like the funk, somewhat.

So groovy! The stank face was plastered on! This album will be played when I want to grooooove. Highlights: P-Funk (Wants To Get Funked Up) Unfunky UFO Handcuffs Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker)

I am enfunked.

Bootsy rules, but i prefer Bernard Edward's.

This was great. I really liked the vibes of this. Nice blend of jamming and good song writing.

Great music, great fun. This is so funky, so joyful. Wish I would have listened to this more in its day. But, I'm happy it popped up today. I've got to go back and explore their entire catalog. This is so much better than a lot of rock and roll I was listening to in 1975. But, I had my head stuck in jazz back in those days.

4.5 - Essential funk listening, making that duck bass quack.

Stuff like this is the reason I started this. Its certainly not what I'd ever have picked out to listen to. Absolutely loved it.

Classic 70's funk. Give up the funk is definitive of the genre.

Listening to this again reminded just how bizarre George Clinton / Parliament / Funkadelic was. This is great though. I definitely have to be in the mood, but it’s still fucking great.

Quite enjoyed the funk aspects of this album. Not what I’d usually listen to and not something I necessarily thought I’d like but was quite a pleasant listen the whole way through. Not in a rush to go back to it but a solid album

I got so funked up 4/5

Not my favorite Parliament album, but definitely enjoyed the funk.

funkiest thing i've ever heard

I've had the second to last song in my head for weeks because some dumbshit advert is using it at the moment, and I think listening to the whole album has exorcised it from my mind - wonderful!

Fun and Funky

I have never heard of Parliament before this album. It’s nice groovy music!

Enjoyed this album more than I thought I would. Also, lots of beats here ended up The Chronic by Dre.
