Your favorite Parliament album
« on: August 22, 2004, 10:39:11 AM »
i guess since this is mainly a w/c hiphop board we should have sum people listenin to one of the dopest funk bands ever. i was just wondering which album is considered their best on here. I just listened to Motor Booty Affair again today, that cd or at least parts of it amaze me every time i listen to it (that's why i put it in my sig)...so i was wonderin which one y'all like best

I don't even think I've ever seen one of their albums in a store, mainly becuase they have 5 million 'best of' albums.

Same here, it pisses me off. I go into record stores searching for Parliament records all the time, no luck. I own 2 best of's though, 20th Century Masters and Tear The Roof Off Box Set.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

I voted chocolate city...

Far and away my fav album from them. It just seems more girmey and on a totaly different level than all the other albums. 

"Let me be" off that album could be one of my fav songs of all time. Bernie Worrell plays a fucking AMAZING piano and GC sings his ass off. I REALLY reccomend peeps download it and check it out...

It's called "The Motherpage" and is one of the best sources of P. Funk info on the web today. Check it out.

You have a record player Lincoln? I had the same problem you had, but found almost an entire collection of parliment and funkadelic records at a garage sale. Got them all for like 65 bucks. It was crazy!

I dunno if half.com ships to canada, but they have some good shit too.

Yeah I have 2 record players, but I'm moving so I'm just taking the one with me to my new place. I need a new reciever and speakers though. Man moving is a pain in the ass. :P

You're lucky with that collection, garage sales around here are shit for records. Half.com unfortunately only ships in the US now I think.
