Title: Your favorite Parliament album
Post by: Kill 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.

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...

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.
