Album Review

To some, boiling Parliament's legacy down to a single-disc collection is the equivalent of heresy, since most fans treat each album as an individual work of art. Still, there is no denying that Parliament was an untouchable singles act, recording some of the greatest soul/funk singles of the '70s. For those listeners that just want an introduction, or only need the hits, The Best of Parliament: Give Up the Funk is the ideal choice. A more complete and logical collection than the previous Greatest Hits (The Bomb), The Best of Parliament supplies all of the great group's greatest hits, from "Up for the Down Stroke" and "Tear the Roof off the Sucker" to "Flash Light" and "Aqua Boogie." For those that can only handle the funk in moderation, there is no better collection.

I've Got to Have My P-Funk!
     
by PowerChic

George Clinton is the master of funk! The Best of Parliament Funkadelcs is F-U-N-K-Y! If you are a funkateer and can't find your muzik, this is the compilation album to get your hands on. Bernie Worrell's heavy synths boost up the bass lines and the kick drum is kicking your funky tail all over the place. If you have lost your funky heart beat, play Parliament, you will feel as if you are on stage with those wild, funky and crazy funk masters!

While Funkadelic pursued band-format psychedelic rock, Parliament engaged in a funk free-for-all, blending...
