Let's Try This Again - the Parliament Album Poll (Casablanca Era)

Mothership

... I voted last time, so just need the other 6 who voted before, apart from me and Shakey, to show up

Mothership Connection EVERY.DAMN.TIME!

Funkentelechy vs. the Placebo Syndrome, which just may be Clinton's greatest album ever!

(btw, thanks for the re-do, Shakey; I didn't get to vote last time out.)

I think I chose the underrated Chocolate City last time.

Pappawheelie (I think?) has an interesting takedown of Funkentelechy as being a cop-out/hypocritical bullshit anti-drug album.

anti-drug album? incredibly ineffective anti-drug album, then.

note that I didn't say I agreed with it! It had more to do with his perceptions of how the album was promoted at the time, if I remember correctly... I'll try to find the thread

at the time? Are you sure we want to consider decades-old marketing decisions in our understanding of boss rhythms n rhyme?

I can't seem to find the thread arrrghhh

I'm still ommitting Osmium/Rhenium which, lets face it, is more like a Funkadelic record

Fair enough, it's your thread. Just be sure to include it when you redo the Funkadelic albums poll!

Can't remember how I voted last time - coulda been any one of the 4-in-a-row classics. Motor Booty Affair this time.

if i were a wizard of finance...

"Bah bah black sheep, have you any wool?/ Yes sir, yes sir, a nickelbag full" = anti-drug?

Anyway, I vote Funkentelechy, but I am devoid of funk, I have always been devoid of funk, and I shall continue to be devoid of funk, so what do I know?

Voted "Funkentelechy...". "Mothership...." is also great, but "Funkentelechy" has "Flash Light".

The previous attempt at this poll for anyone who needs help making up their mind. Geir seems to have already found this. Dying to know why I'm voting 'Motor Booty Affair'? YOU'LL HAVE TO CLICK TO FIND OUT!!!

What??? No Osmium?!?!? Shaking with rage!!!!!

Just kidding. Funkentelechy please. Thank you.

Funkentelechy -- it's not even close.

It seems I did vote Mothership last time then

Still not understanding how anyone can prefer "Funkentelechy" to "Mothership" - apart from having "Flashlight" on it of course, that does up the ante more than somewhat!

Yeah, "Flash Light" is that good! Me, I like Mothership, Funkentelechy and Motorbooty pretty much equally.

Somehow inevitably, I expect the downing of the Ilxor.com domain name to render the results of this poll no more legitimate (in the eyes of the unwashed masses) than its predecessor...

OK, so here's a TV ad for Funkentelechy vs the Placebo Syndrome:

One vote for Motorbooty Affair here.

That commercial is awesome!

It's great!

Damn straight. I AM SIR NOSE...DEEEEE-VOID OF FUNK

Still not understanding how anyone can prefer "Funkentelechy" to "Mothership"

Things I can deduce from this:

You are stuck in the syndrome.
You are not adept at the skilled use of a flashlight.
You are not a wizard of finance.
You have never killed an endangered species with a bop gun.
You are Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk

...and most importantly...

YOU HAVE NOT ACHIEVED FUNKENTELECHY

(That said, nothing wrong with preferring Mothership)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

anyone who doesnt vote placebo syndrome hasnt listened to all their albums enough.

What can I say, "Bop Gun" bores the tits off me

to be honest, i dont think making albums was really their forte. i always find they dont really flow that well.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

BLASPHEMY

I am really irritated I can't find that thread where Pappa complained about Funkentelechy's anti-drug theme. BAH

this result is rite on! trombipulation is good though! THE AGONY OF D'FEET!

it has its moments but that's a hard one to sit all the way through. They sound pretty tired.

obviously can't fuck with Let's Play House, of course

Hmm it ate up my earlier post.

anyone who doesnt vote placebo syndrome hasnt listened to all their albums enough.

hardly.

Well, really it's a tie, because I didn't vote this time, and I would have voted Mothership. (And I doubt there's a person in the world who listened to CC->Funkentelechy more than I did.) I like Chocolate City and Clones better than Funkentelechy (except for the comic book).

Motorbooty robbed again. Oh well. "Funkentelechy" was my second choice anyway.

liquid sunshine might be the best song they ever recorded but the syndrome just works better as an album.

Liquid Sunshine is like distilled happiness, man. I did not get to vote in this business, but Funkentelechy v the Placeeb is my favorite album for all times, it swings and bangs so hard. Motor Booty Affair is a respectable second, though, so many great r&b jams on it. Favorite Chocolate City jam is "I Misjudged You", that shit brings the house down in a flood of weeping grandmoms. Surprised Up for the Down Stroke got a handful of votes, that's like saying you like Kobe Bryant's rookie year best cos he won the dunk contest.

lol
