Mothership Connection

Mid week and time to turn this sucka out. How bout some 70's Funk? Parliament was one of the most influential bands to come out of the 70's. Countless acts have sampled the bands music. Led by the mastermind George Clinton, the band featured a revolving door of amazing musicians. Bootsy Collins tends to get recognized the most. The band live was a mind trip to see. Which brings me to one of the most influential Funk albums. 'Mothership Connection' start to finish this record takes you on a funkadelic trip til your mind is blown. Perfect album to get the party started.

So this album does tend to stray off the path of what I normally listen to. This kids is what we call a guilty pleasure. Oh yes, I do have a few of those. I've never denied what an amazing talented bunch of musicians Parliament was. I mean this album alone has about two dozen people playing on it. Here's how wide spread and influential this album really is. In 2011 The Library Of Congress added the album to the National Recording Registry, declaring "the album has had an enormous influence on jazz, rock and dance music." That's a pretty elite list right there. Research it and see what else is on there.
