Of those not yet mentioned, I have to give dap to the Brothers Johnson. Get the Funk Out of My Face is such a badass song. If you don't know it, download it.

That's not a complete list as I like alot of the genre. I like soul and funk more than straight r&b.

Parliament and Funkadelic were seperate bands both under the leadership of George Clinton and with some of the same members. Eventually they formed into Parliament Funkadelic, and later the P-Funk All-Stars.
