do i have my funk correct?

[VinceFox]

i'm putting together a playlist to ride the supermoto to (commuting) and with the help of the office i've got this so far...

1. lowrider/war
2. expansions/lonnie liston smith
3. not just knee deep/clinton-pfunk
4. outta space/preston
5. bring the funk/pfunk
6. machine gun/commodores
7. pusherman/mayfield
8. gotta give it up/marvin gaye
9. one nation/pfunk
10. the ghetto/hathaway
11. sly/hancock
12. wiggle waggle/hancock

now this is by no means an exhaustive list, but just the suggestions of a couple of workmates who know the genre far better than i do. i want stuff that's percussive with just enough melody and enthusiasm that i can hear it over a big single thumper through traffic.

so, any tracks i should have but dont?

Dexter Wansel - Life On Mars?

[HerrSchnell]

All good tracks but [hipster]kind of obvious[/hipster] and you'll get bored quickly.

Suggest you scroll through this fella's youtube channel and click at random;

Some modern funk, how about Breakestra - Hit Tha' Floor! It's even got a motoring theme.

Wild Cherry.

Just make sure you dress like Bootsie Collins when you are riding and don't forget to post pics

Don't see any Roy Ayers on there. Can't have a funk playlist without Roy Ayers.

Bernard Wright would be good in there too. Spot the big sample lifted out of this tune.
