1	Pure Funk (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Since Pure Disco was a success, Mercury decided to assemble a sequel, Pure Funk. Like its predecessor, Pure Funk is a terrific 20-track collection of funk classics, from Rick James"Super Freak" to Parliament's "Flashlight." A couple of songs are marginally funk -- it's hard to call the kitsch-fest "Kung Fu Fighting" or Earth, Wind & Fire's sultry ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $13.34!
2	Dance Fever: Hits of the 70's (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Spanning funk and disco, Dance Fever includes tracks like "YMCA" by the Village People, "Fire" by the Ohio Players, "Hot Pants" by James Brown and "Shake Your Groove Thing" by Peaches & Herb. Keith Farley, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.98!
3	The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein (1976) more music like this by Parliament Come 1976, and Parliament got up to its usual tricks in that particular incarnation -- right down to opening backwards-masked vocal weirdness plus sci-fi scenarios in the "Prelude," where "funk is its own reward." With Bernie Worrell and Fred Wesley splitting the horn arrangements and Clinton and Bootsy Collins taking care of the rest, the result ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $8.66!
4	Funky Stuff: The Best of Funk Essentials (1993) more music like this by Various Artists For those looking to find a crash course in "the funk" -- a quick introduction to the fusion of R&B, soul, jazz, blues, good old rock & roll, and all-out outrageousness that creates the ultimate good groove -- you can't do much better than the Funk Essentials compilations. Funky Stuff: The Best of Funk Essentials is the perfect portrait. With its ... see all copies from $5.75! new only from $5.84!
5	Motor Booty Affair (1978) more music like this by Parliament By this point Parliament was one of the most accomplished and intelligent bands in music. With albums like Mothership Connection and The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein, George Clinton's druggy and patently eccentric humor often obscured the enviable musicianship throughout. Motor Booty Affair is no doubt another classic album and the perfect follow-up ... see all copies from $5.85! new only from $8.66!
6	Mothership Connection (1976) more music like this by Parliament The definitive Parliament-Funkadelic album, Mothership Connection is where George Clinton's revolving band lineups, differing musical approaches, and increasingly thematic album statements reached an ideal state, one that resulted in enormous commercial success as well as a timeless legacy that would be compounded by hip-hop postmodernists, most ... see all copies from $2.89! new only from $15.00!
7	Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome (1977) more music like this by Parliament Parliament simply poured it on for this amazing album, clearly one of its all-time best. At least one band named itself after a lyric -- Urge Overkill, taken from the song "Funkentelechy" itself -- while the amount of times this album has been sampled for the music is uncountable. Besides having an absolutely wonderful name, it contained at least ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
8	Gloryhallastoopid (1979) more music like this by Parliament Although at the time this album was viewed as a disaster, there has been some critical reassessment in the past years. It was certainly not as inspired, brilliantly executed or memorable as any one of many 1970s Parliament or Funkadelic gems, but it did have its own humorous/bizarre outlook. Clinton was being torn in many directions and plagued by ... see all copies from $5.21! new only from $5.21!
9	12" Collection & More (1999) more music like this by Parliament Don't mistake 12" Collection & More for a best-of collection. It features a few of Parliament's best moments, such as "Flashlight" and "Up for the Down Stroke," but it also includes songs such as "Ridin' High-Parlet" and "Oh I," which weren't technically even Parliament songs. This is more of a grab-bag collection; some of it is the group's best ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.57!
10	Greatest Hits (The Bomb) (1984) more music like this by Parliament Treating Parliament as a singles band isn't entirely fair, since many of their greatest moments came when they pushed the boundaries of funk and soul to their limits. However, George Clinton's vision was often so sprawling that it was often best articulated as individual tracks within the studio, which is what makes Greatest Hits (The Bomb) such ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.82!
11	Disco Nights, Vol. 2: The Best of Disco Funk (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Featuring a dozen of the best bubblegum hits from the late '70s, this compilation makes for nice lightweight listening. Some songs, such as Parliament's dancefloor classic "Flashlight," still sound as good now as they did the first time around. Others, such as "Shake Your Groove Thing" by Peaches & Herb, make perfect background noise at keg ... see all copies from $3.18! new only from $3.18!
12	Up for the Down Stroke [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Parliament Kicking off with one of prime funk's purest distillations -- the outrageously great title track, with a perfect party chorus line and uncredited horns (presumably the Horny Horns were involved somehow) adding to the monster beat and bass -- Up for the Down Stroke finds Parliament in rude good health. As was more or less the case through the '70s, ... see all copies from $4.23! new only from $4.23!
13 view cover	The Funk Box (2000) more music like this by Various Artists At four discs and 55 tracks, Hip-O's Funk Box seems to want to be the last word on funk, and while it's a pretty good set, it ends up more representative than definitive of its chosen genre. Virtually all of funk's most important artists are featured, but not always by their most significant singles -- sometimes the collection gets it right, and ... see all copies from $45.64! new only from $52.48!
14 view cover	Gold (2005) more music like this by Parliament The differences between this two-disc set and 1993's like-sized Tear the Roof Off will only be apparent to Parliament fanatics who don't really need either release. Any of those people will tell you that you need at least seven of the eight studio albums the group released between 1974 and 1980 and -- you know? -- they're absolutely right. But we ... see all copies from $19.52! new only from $19.52!
15 view cover	Old School, Vol. 3 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Thump's Old School series contains funk and soul singles from the '70s and '60s. Each volume contains 14 tracks, and while each disc is a little uneven, each has some highlights and classic songs. Among the highlights on Vol. 3 are "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof Off the Sucker)," "Do It," "Shake Your Pants," "Rock It," "Super Freak" and "Humpin' ... see all copies from $7.93! new only from $14.56!
16 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Parliament (2000) more music like this by Parliament Choosing between the many Parliament best-ofs isn't an easy task; in fact, the single-disc collections are all so similar that it's barely even worth belaboring the task. But if you do want to labor a bit in hopes of getting the absolute perfect single-disc best-of, this is one of your best options. First of all, above anything, skip Greatest Hits ... see all copies from $5.76! new only from $5.76!
17 view cover	Funked Up: The Very Best of Parliament (2002) more music like this by Parliament Funked Up: The Very Best of Parliament is a full-priced, one-disc summation of Parliament's recordings for Casablanca Records (since absorbed into what is now Universal and discontinued, hence the issuance on Universal's Mercury imprint), meant to supplant the 1984 LP compilation Greatest Hits (The Bomb) and provide consumers with something in ... see all copies from $13.15! new only from $13.15!
18 view cover	Funk Classics: The 70's (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Funk Classics: The 70's includes many of the style's biggest hits: "Sex Machine" by James Brown, "Too Hot to Stop" by the Bar-Kays, "Get the Funk Out Ma Face" by the Brothers Johnson, "Hollywood Swinging" by Kool & the Gang, and "Up for the Down Stroke" by Parliament. Keith Farley, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.99! new only from $2.99!
19 view cover	Up for the Down Stroke (1974) more music like this by Parliament Kicking off with one of prime funk's purest distillations -- the outrageously great title track, with a perfect party chorus line and uncredited horns (presumably the Horny Horns were involved somehow) adding to the monster beat and bass -- Up for the Down Stroke finds Parliament in rude good health. As was more or less the case through the '70s, ... see all copies from $5.93! new only from $8.00!
20 view cover	Only Dance: 1975-1979 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Only Dance: 1975-1979 follows the pattern of JCI's Only series, offering a seemingly random collection of 20 hits from a given genre or style for a period of five years. These songs weren't necessarily the biggest hits of these five years, although there are a number of classics and smashes here. It may be hard to deduce exactly why these songs ... see all copies from $3.25! new only from $13.59!
21 view cover	Chocolate City (1975) more music like this by Parliament Parliament's second album for Casablanca, following Up for the Down Stroke (1974), Chocolate City isn't one of the group's better-known albums. Unlike its predecessor and successive albums such as Mothership Connection (1976), it lacks a signature hit; even though the title track and "Ride On" charted as singles, they're minor in comparison to ... see all copies from $7.67! new only from $40.00!
22 view cover	The Best of Parliament: Give Up the Funk (1995) more music like this by Parliament To some, boiling Parliament's legacy down to a single-disc collection is the equivalent of heresy, since most fans treat each album as an individual work of art. Still, there is no denying that Parliament was an untouchable singles act, recording some of the greatest soul/funk singles of the '70s. For those listeners that just want an introduction ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $17.79!
23 view cover	Classic: The Universal Masters Collection (2000) more music like this by Parliament see all copies from $12.07! new only from $12.07!
24 view cover	New York Yankees Greatest Hits, Vol. 2: The Dream Season (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.75! new only from $12.35!
25 view cover	Super Bad (1991) more music like this by Various Artists While the companion Super Bad Is Back kicked up the funk, its predecessor, Super Bad, brought some of the era's sweetest soul to turntables everywhere. K-Tel may now be the butt of jokes and guffaws, but at the time, and in between some real frights, the label pulled together and presented for the mainstream some absolutely amazing sets -- full of ... see all copies from $5.00!
