 | Funky Grooves: Funk & Soul Jazz Gems
UNDER CONSTRUCTION: UPDATE: Now on page 15 (it's a slow process but worth it imo). I'm more than halfway through.
I've brought back the √√√ = A personal "funky" favorite. Also, TRACK TITLES - I'm bringing back the track titles (it originally took up half the first page). I can't find the original track title lists, and once again I'm doing it manually. It takes a lot of time, and it's summer here, so please don't expect full updates anytime soon. I'm also adding more tracks & releases. Hopefully, I'll have it finished by the end of summer. Thank you.
√ Albums & singles. The majority of tracks are unsung gems = main aspiration behind list.
NOTE: Obviously not all tracks (including my favs) are available on youtube. However, the tunes included should warrant a venture to what else is in store. I've also included a selection of tracks from an old and long unpublished list ("Unsung Classic Soul & R'n'B Tracks You Really Need to Hear") that includes a bit of Soul and Rhythm & Blues. The majority should be as close to the list's intention and I'll make note on their respective entries. Please enjoy.
EASY ACCESS (ARTISTS) SHORTCUTS: Out of whack for the time being, but will be sorted and updated (hopefully sooner than later). For now in this state, it's good for searching artists. I'm still working on this list daily, so please bear with me :) spoiler: click to read

UNDER CONSTRUCTION = Fixing list & layout, dead links, adding more tracks, artists, etc.
√ The classic years (mainly '82 to '95) and of course, I'm forgetting hundreds to thousands of tunes. Not all tracks are SHAG (sleaze, hair and glam metal) but love my own created acronym (although SHAG already exists but mine's better, haha). The other genres include AOR, some Heavy Metal and even a bit of NWOBHM. Maybe more, so check it out. :)

√ Albums, EPs & singles (what I like and recommend). The genre(s) are what's listed by the artist (or in few cases, what's listed on rym). In some or perhaps many, don't take it for granted for an overall assessment. In all likelihood, the artists added as much as possible for search results. For example, an album tagged with 'hip hop' may just have one associated track (or parts thereof) for otherwise a band more common to punk or post hardcore, etc. In those cases, I've left them out (I may have missed some) but like any other music medium, it's not a perfect system.

I'm in my fifties and still keep my hair at shoulder-length. I'm just afraid that once cut, I won't get much tail. On the other hand, those two nerds probably get more pussy than I could have ever imagine, so I guess the joke's on me. Maybe not... for I wouldn't walk fuckin' 500 miles for pussy.
Addendum: I have no idea what went through my mind to purchase this CD back in the early nineties. I suppose a woman I was seeing must have been into them or something. Otherwise, I don't play this CD.

Amityville 3-D | Rated: 
I saw it at the theatre. I couldn't get the 3D glasses adjusted correctly (aka folding and bending the shit out of it) for my viewing pleasure. So anyway, there was this scene with a bunch of flies. At the same time, a mosquito landed on my arm and I slapped it. The patrons turned to look at me, and started to laugh. I was like, "I'm a fuckin' star!" |
