While 1992's Westbound compilation, MUSIC FOR YOUR MOTHER: FUNKADELIC 45's, features tracks from between 1969 and 1976,THE BEST OF FUNKADELIC covers prime tracks from the group'sWarner Bros. years--1976 through 1981. This five-year span proved to be the most commercially successful for the Parliament-Funkadelic clan, as they racked up a significant numberof hit singles and albums on both the R&B and pop charts. The material from this period is less rock-based than the group's early-'70s releases, focused instead upon the burgeoning dance-disco scene of the late '70s.
Funkadelic's rock side does shine through from time to time, as on a live version of their classic "Cosmic Slop" and the boldly-titled "WhoSays A Funk Band Can't Play Rock?" Perhaps they realised that disco's days were numbered. But many a selection from THEBEST OF FUNKADELIC ruled the dance floors of the '70s, including "One Nation Under A Groove", "(Not Just) Knee Deep", and "Uncle Jam Wants You". The last two are presented in their best-known edited versions. Virtually every hip-hop band of the '90s has sampled heavily from the tracks on THE BEST OF FUNKADELIC, a fact that further proves Funkadelic's amazing impact on music.
