I'm talking about on the lines of Black Eyed Peas's "Request Line," or Beck's "Loser"

Also open to Stevie Wonder/Rick James type of stuff too!

As long as it's funky and catchy I'll listen to it. Need for songs for my Funk playlist. Cannot strees the funk enough guys.

I'm experiencing a huge craving for energy drank lately. I'm a huge fan of Monster. I'll probably die with a Monster can in my hand but, right now I need something with a bit more dosage to keep me up. I have a programming assignment to finish and have lots of notes to write...

I'm pretty much waiting for the Bombcast at this point, but I need some music to entertain me for a while.

Youtube Bootsy Collins. It's hella-weird at first, but you might just like it.

Otherwise, I'd stick with classic funk artists. Later Motown stuff.

I have no idea what falls under the funk category to be honest. :|

Listen to Deceptacon by Le Tigre though. I think thats catchy as hell.

Once in a lifetime by the Talking Heads is quite funky. Either that or it's all the singer, I could never tell.

Earth Wind and Fire. Pretty much everything from the stuff they did in the 70s.

Also you may want to look into some stuff by Prince. The Sign of the Times live DVD and earlier work from Dirty Mind & Controversy has a stronger funk flavor. The newest album available only from Target Lotusflow3r has some funky stuff, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APFwmfZ560w
Kool & the Gang from the 70s "Get Down On It" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_2m-4e4tyA
George Clinton & Parliament is a must for the funk. Grab a best of with "Flashlight", "Give Up the Funk", "Cosmic Slop", etc...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JbUP-skb7E
Commodores from the 70s "Brick House", "Machine Gun", and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rrz080KooA
Billy Preston "Nothing from nothing" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj5DccgBYeM
The Brothers Johnson "Get the Funk out my Face" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7_lhfpN1vg
Curtis Mayfield (the Superfly soundtrack) "Freddy's Dead" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9nwcpGZE6A
Rose Royce "Car Wash" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXaI-xsyYTQ
The Ohio Players "Fire" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2PnyNOv4Vk
Sly & the Family Stone "Thank You FALETTINME BE MICE ELF AGIN" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YXPJOUD7G0

for more modern bands, you need to check out...
Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Higher Ground" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS3hEuAbuLE
Primus - "Tommy the Cat" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn3uiLZY9Jg
Fishbone - "Party at Gound Zero", "Everyday Sunshine" "When Problems Arise" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YoSbRWWelI
The Roots - "The Seed" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqi5P4gAvSY
Jurrasic 5 - "Work it Out" "The Influence" "Back to You" "Quality Control" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI4iDM09oRE

Firstly, you rock for not being a stereotype. SECONDLY - anything that was signed to Motown is recommended.

Thirdly -- "Awwwwwwww, FREAK OUT!" (featuring Slash for the "rocker" types):

Fourthly:

I'm a disco kid sooooooooooo -- you want more suggestions I have TONS.

Next up, Ease Jimi by Nightmares On Wax always makes my lips do funny things when I listen to it. Y'know, like how Mix Master Mike is always making that face. Just like that.

@EVO: Ha! So you did! *sheepish look* How on Earth did I not see that while scrolling down? *scratching head*

Well, I guess it just proves it's a quality tune, eh?

Speaking of Nightmares On Wax, he also introduced me to this pretty slick tune:

@EVO: Nope. Cheers, it's a great tune! Shamefully, I've not caught any of his studio albums since Mind Elevation (which I loved, so I don't know why I dropped off).

The man knows how to make a rad mixtape, though. Obviously his DJ-Kicks effort is awesome, but his My Definition mix maybe eclipses even that for my money.
