Parliament-Funkadelic

There was what people thought was funk...and then P-Funk came along. They established the genre. It's funk. It's soul. It's rock. You hear them still in hip-hop. They're still performing (and they're still good).

This song is technically by Funkadelic, but I'm pretty sure it's all the same members in each rendition of the band, and all headed by George Clinton, so it doesn't really matter -- It's still all P-Funk.

The guitar in this song wails. I don't mean that lightly. This guitar is deeply lamenting and wailing as though its mama has just died. In a good way.

And really, how can you not love a song called Maggot Brain?
