I love this song.

Definitely a big nod to Funkadelic on an album George Clinton produced. Totally a circa-1984 version of the Funkadelic songs taking #shots at "Doofus" and "Earth Wind and No Fire" as part of their <i>Let's Take it to the Stage</i> manifesto of being the best band on earth when it came to performing. This ideal was really influential to the Chili Peppers and Public Enemy (who sampled the fuck out of <i>Let's Take it to the Stage</i>), ultimately two of the best live bands of the 1980s

suidavyvan eht nioj (Whiney G. Weingarten), Sunday, 6 May 2012 18:08 (thirteen years ago)

All and said and done, Chili Peppers from 1983 to 1991 has more classics than any of these bands. They really won this war both commercially and critically.

First to the rock and roll hall of fame too, though I suspect Duran Duran can't be too far behind...

is this copypasta or are you actually asserting this

Soft Cell by about a bazillion miles

btw didn't i braek ur heart (NickB), Sunday, 6 May 2012 21:35 (thirteen years ago)

I'll be pretty surprised if Duran Duran beats H&O to the hall of fame. Figure all those '70s pop-rock acts left out will get ushered in before we bring in low-cred new romantics

da croupier, Sunday, 6 May 2012 21:49 (thirteen years ago)

This sounds like the J Geils Band more than Funkadelic to me

lol, yeah, but it's somewhere in between the two

Voting for the one I would be most bummed to see with a goose egg, so I'm voting for Zapp

^^ my vote (runners-up: Soft Cell and H&O I guess)

Zapp, then Soft Cell, and then either H&O or RHCP

Lol xp

I believe Zapp was a solid live act in the 80s too

that Jonzun Crew clip is fucking incredible

that said, the worst song on here would be the best song on an RHCP album by a ridiculous distance

I would pay almost any amount of money to see the Chili Peppers do a club show where they only play pre-1995 music

suidavyvan eht nioj (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 7 May 2012 00:14 (thirteen years ago)

1996

should have changed the lyrics to be a little more 1996...

Whiney, I think it will give you much pleasure to learn that my internal reaction to this was "Man, I just do not get the kids"

voted Gap Band just to make sure they scored but the answer is Zapp tbh

Neil Young cover is played pretty straight, sounds decent enough

Sounds like a HORDE thing.

Zapp all the way

Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 7 May 2012 23:15 (thirteen years ago)

seeing as how Zapp was at the root of Clinton's cross-label empire going kablooey kinda wonder if it wasn't his influence behind the lyrical reference

cuz I kinda doubt Kiedis or Flea would seriously argue they're better than Zapp and Roger

Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 7 May 2012 23:18 (thirteen years ago)

voting RHCP

as for their new shit, jesus wept. I heard 'Look Around' off the new album and it seriously almost put me off my food. They've really gone to Chris Cornell-esque lengths to make me hate them.

I'll totally cosign Whiney's wish for a pre-95 RHCP concert.

Nick Cave otm forever

cosi fan whitford (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 00:52 (thirteen years ago)

the best/worst thing about that quote is Flea's crestfallen reaction

some dude, Tuesday, 8 May 2012 01:03 (thirteen years ago)

haha Nick Cave yay

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 8 May 2012 02:28 (thirteen years ago)

If this is a poll of songs called Nevermind, you missed out Marissa's

Mark G, Tuesday, 8 May 2012 05:47 (thirteen years ago)

It's not - it's bands mentioned in that one RHCP song.

thing is you'd never be near a radio and hear Nick Cave playing that goth cunt

yeah he's pretty much safe as houses for the reverse backlash, lol
