i think that a lot of the great funk records are perfect the whole way through, i mean the whole think with funk was flow, and some of those records flowed perfectly.
some of my favorite funk/soul records that i consider totally perfect are:
sly stone-theres a riot goin on
james brown-the payback/sing it loud, im black and im proud
parliament-maggot brain
curtis mayfield-superfly soundtrack
stevie wonder-innervisions
i love a lot of funk music, the record that really got me into it was oddly enough hendrix's band of gypsies. i first heard that record when i was 14 and it made me wanna play guitar and established me as a life long jimi fanatic, and also id read a lot about it being inspired by a lotta the aforementioned funk artists. funks great because it can simultaneously be psychedelic, radical, fun/danceable, and musically significant when its at its best.
