12/01/2005 | Talented aggregation with about 54,098 members. Had a lot of big funk and r& b hits from the mid to late 70's. My favorite album by them is 1971's Maggot Brain, which features great guitar work. Clinton took the flashiness, great musicianship, and oddness of acts like Hendrix and Sly and the Family Stone to a logical conclusion with theatricality including spaceships, weird costumes, props, etc. All of this was done with an endearingly strange sense of humor, too. He was influenced by rock acts like Cream too, and, allegedly, there are joint recordings that Parliament / Funkadelic made early on with Iron Butterfly! The results could be terrible, but if that's true, I'd love to hear them. A very important and incredibly influential act.

11/29/2005 | I have seen them live two times,and highly recommend their shows.They are seriously talented musicians who have played together for over 30 years,and they're TIGHT & unafraid to mix it up onstage.They attract a very fun,very mixed crowd-a veritable buffet of all ages,colors & whatnot.They play for a LONG time,everyone dances and sweats and they really give you more than your moneys worth- a rarity in this day and age!
