This is me being an elitist, but I don't give a fuck, it can't be funkier than PFunk shit.

ha! while I have the utmost respect for P-funk, you need to figure out who had their soudn before they did.
look up stanley clark and George Duke and listen to Dukey Stick.
then go listen to the Meters (aka. the fathers of funk).
plus, George Clinton sucks in his old days and Parlaiment was always inferior to Funkadelic.
Their best work was Take it to the Stage which was hardly indicitave of the P-funk sound.

Please, as you know I suck Wooten's dick, so you think I'm unaware of Stanley Clark? Let's be fucking reasonable. And I just saw PFunk, so I'm well aware of what Clinton is in his old age. Either way, you can't fucking beat Maggot Brain, I don't care if Clinton didn't fucking play it, he inspired it. Flashlight, Cosmic Slop, and One Nation Under a Groove are still awesome. I'll check out this new Lettuce album tomorrow though. (And yes, Funkadelic is way fucking funkier and better than Parliament, but don't bring that up to the average music fan, they still think they're both one in the same.)
I finally listened to some Mr. Bungle the other day, by the way. Fucking weird shit man, not sure what my final take is on it yet.

I am.. this computer is right next to the sound board. they have been playing for almost three hours now, so the mix is pretty dialed in.

but what is funny is that futureman was right behind me right when I refreshed the page and he might have caught you saying you would suck it.

I feel like fucking Toadie haha.

oh, I forgot to mention that some songs on the album are covers... but they are done up lettuce style.
it might not be so boring, the cow, if you would turn down the puddle of mudd and give the album a real listen.

eric dolphy - out to lunch
thelonius monk-brilliant corners

Kind of Blue is great, but Ive heard it too many times. I havent listened to that album in a while. A love Supreme is good also, but I like out to lunch better

I wasnt making fun of pfunk, just stating that they are overrated in the sense that bob marley is overrated by "reggaephiles" who dont even know who peter tosh is.
yes, the sum and the parts are all amazing in pfunk, but it isnt the beggining and end of funk by any means.
The guy on the drums, adam deitsch, is absolutely amazing (and white btw!) in lettuce, and is pretty much enough of a reason to buy the album.
I mean, from the top three albums you got listed, it soudns like you are about two steps away from become a john cage fan boi.
"listen to that composition! it doesnt even sound like he pulled notes out of a bag!".
and what was interesting about Pfunk? crack smoking? the mothership gimmicks? bootsie?
did you really listen to the lettuce album, or did you really try to make some sort of well formed opinion on listening to amazon samples?

A John Cage fanboi please. You make it sound like a negative to be into music that doesnt fit standard chord progressions we've been using since the 1600's. And yes I do like John Cage, I also like anton webern, prokofiev, stockhausen and most other people that you would write off
PFunk was interesting because they werent just your average we play funk, band. It was story driven, and the music sounded like a party already. Bootsie tore it up on the bass, and all the albums had an extremely loose feeling to them. Other funk is funky alright, but theres no sense of originality like in pfunk. I can appreciate someone good at the drums, but after a while you realize that they are just playing repetitive rhythms with boring chord changes. PFunk is one of the only funk bands who sounded fresh
