Do you mean my selections weren't as funky as you hoped for, or I'm keeping the funk alive?

Parliament, Funkadelic, anything by George Clinton is right near the top on my list. Bootsy, Bernie, etc. ...

Milo Z I have a place for in my heart, but not in my CD collection, as I can't get a hold of his live album.

Tosca, Kruder and Dorfmeister, Nightmares on Wax I'm big into, too... has anyone heard Tosca's latest album?

Brien · Apr 3, 2003, 02:48 AM

Oh, I got the reference all right

Nevermind, thought you were also commenting on my funk, or possible lack thereof... come on now. Don't fake the funk or your nose will grow!

MPC · Apr 3, 2003, 08:38 AM

my favs..

1) N'sync
2) Eminem
3) Mandy Moore
4) Creed
5) Cute little Lemurs

maxelson · Apr 3, 2003, 09:05 AM

In no particular order:

Tom Waits
Peter Gabriel
King Crimson

are the top three. The 4 and 5 positions rotate according to mood. This week it is
Tool
Traffic

All you folks who are into Tool (and I see there are a LOT of you) really need to check out Crimson (primarily the current configuration). I know Crim collectively LOVES Tool (even Fripp will intersperse his Mahler and Elgar with smatterings of Eon Blue Apocalypse and Intolerance) and Tool has consistently reported their primary influence to be King Crimson. IMO, the music pretty much goes hand in hand.
