I listened to Ohio Players more than War. But your enthusiasm is making me want to check them out.

if they had a little more guitar in place of some slightly corny saxophone I would say these songs are just as good as any peak P-Funk definitely check the '71-'72 albums out

I did find this crazy soulful gospel album at a record store last week

Also from ‘72

Nektar still dropping heat too?

you should've put me on the debut last year checking it out now and it sounds cool

nektar had a 2020 album apparently

i didnt get into their debut as much

I just finished the debut and lost track of how many crazy/interesting moments there were

that is a keeper

damn I guess I gotta revisit

The goats with yet another low-key mastapiece this year

@HeyFella @twinkletoez have you guys heard this Kinks

I haven’t, but this is really nice. I do know Celluloid Heroes from that record. My mother’s boyfriend is a Kinks fan and digs that one.

Long time ago when I was going through their discog. I don’t play much after Hillbillies. This bangs though.

this is giving me big melting funk soup spottieottiedopalicious vibes just no horns

my physicals for the year

celluloid heroes is in my top 5 from them

I think The Way Love Used To Be from last year is the highest ranking song outside of the absolute magic period from '65/Well Respected Man to '68/Days for me. And I'm not sure if it would make top ten. Just something about the dusty sound and lilting melodies that earlier period

speaking of funk soups

Germans had album art on f***in lock down

predicated estimation till 1980s at least

I know some places
And I see some faces
I got good connections
They dig my directions
What people say, that's okay
They don't bother me, no
I'm ready to make it
Don't care what the weather
Don't care 'bout no trouble
Got myself together
I feel that kind of protection
That's all around me

proto-rapping if ive ever heard it. like 2020s bars even.

James Brown and Muhammad Ali inspired all those kids in the ghetto to try harder with rapping

for sure but im almost surprised what Marvin does here isn't mentioned alongside The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

They do along with Last Poets and Rudy Ray Moore
