Two lesser-known tracks from a very well-known artist and a very well-known band:

"Maybe Your Baby" - Stevie Wonder (one of the nastiest bass tones I've ever heard!):


"Mighty Mighty" - Earth, Wind & Fire (listen to that controlled scream by Philip Bailey at 2:38):

I will never ever forget the first time I heard this. Fabulous live vibes. Sounds like such fun is being had by all...

I'm glad someone else finds Aliens Ate My Buick to be a wonderfully funky album, but fwiw I find this track to be the funkiest:

Between 83 to 85 with Skeet and Dennis Chambers the P-Funk Thang was a force.

Too many on here that are really obvious.
Lately I've been searching for new funk, and have not been disappointed, although I've had to do a bit of a dive to find it.

Swing and a miss.
Both of you do not grasp of the concept of "Funky"

Boomers invented funk. Millennials gave us Nickelback.

And gen x happened in between and gave us metal, punk, post punk, grunge and hip hop

Edit: plus indie/alternative especially in the 90s.
A lot of the above genres have funky songs in there occasionally, sometimes often

Actually, metal and punk were solidly in the 70s, hip hop in the 80s. The 90s gave us a lot of derivatives, very little originality. To where we are today, with music so formulized and generic that it's basically, pull a girl singer in off the corner, fire up the autotune and push the button that makes her a star.

But no one ever accused a millennial nor a genxer of knowing anything about history.

With the exception of grunge, all those genres originated with Boomers, granted a good number toward the younger end of the age spread. To pinpoint the begining of grunge is a whole different debate, but if you were to peg Green River/Mudhoney, you have Mark Arm, born in ‘62, so technically a boomer. So, what axe is it you have to grind? Zoomers are already making fun of Gen X. BTW, that taunt is so two years ago.

On a lighter note.... This must be funky because the word is in the title.

There is a lack of War in this thread.

I mentioned “Slippin’” in post #91.

You're five years younger than me.
You're old enough to know better.

The music of rebellion
Makes you want to rage
But it's made by millionaires
Who are nearly twice your age
