It's the Friday Funk Thread now! Hit me with everything funky that's not James Brown.

Most of what immediately comes to mind at the moment is strictly speaking more disco than funk-oriented, but the two genres are very related and you did say "everything funky that's not James Brown", so...

Daft Punk - Give Life Back To Music

Bill Withers - Just The Two Of Us

The Alan Parsons Project - I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You

Parcels - Tieduprightnow

Daft Punk - Fragments Of Time

Earth, Wind & Fire - Boogie Wonderland

All that Daft Punk, and you didn't include "Da Funk"?

I didn't include it because I wanted to stick a little closer to the prompt and that track's straight up electronic/acid house, but yes, it's absolutely fantastic (and is one of the first things that comes to mind when I think "Daft Punk" too).

Regarding Daft Punk in general I'd say anyone who isn't already familiar with their album Discovery should also check out Aerodynamic and Face to Face. Oh, and if anyone has the time, their Alive 2007 live show is very worth a listen (for those who can't take audience sound, here's a pretty good remake of their live show without it).

Thanks for that last link. I hadn't seen that before
