I cant be the only one. Whoe else loves funk music? I love Parliament, Funkadelic, Sly & The Family Stone, War, Tower of Power, Earth Wind & Fire. Those are all some of the greatest groups.

I was wondering, are there any new funk bands these days? It almost seems like funk is permanently dead.

There're the Chili Peppers. And Rage. But neither is purely funk.

**** is some pretty tight stuff, but not alot left..

Nice typo

you mentioned my two favorites right away - but is War really funk? They seem a bit unclassifiable to me, they have funk elements, but also latin and just rock. hmm...

but Sly & The Family Stone are my favorite by far.

War is pretty undefinable, but they are a great group. They are more funk than anything else. I would shave put JAmes brown on the list, but he is more sould than funk. Parliament to me is one of the best though, they really mixed funk and psychedelia.
