my very own personal opinion but 1982 was the best year ever for funk. The synthesis of new age digital sounds with the analog was at a perfect point for that year and that year only. ask me and I will give you millions of suggestions.
for funk you have to go back to the 70s. I would start with these three essentials: - maggot brain by funkadelic
- mothership connection by parliament
- there’s a riot going on by sly and the family stone
The Equatics - Doin It!!!! This album was self produced, recorded and performed by a group of high school seniors inside of their school gym in 1972, it’s incredibly soulful, funky and tender. The group never recorded another album again! Don’t let this album be lost to time, it’s amazing!!
