Diamond I: Sly & The Family Stone is a favorite in my list, but I don't think they're all that funky. Sure, they got some good funk songs, and some are really funky, but they were also a psychedelic soul band, and were a little toned down on the funk in my opinion.

I think 'Disrespectful' by Chaka Khan and Mary J. Blige: it's one of the best to me because it's a brand new song but with some funky tones in it, from the start to the end YOU KNOW THAT'S FUNKY!!! And all the screamings and shoutings, typically funky!

How could any of you forget the band that was the prototype of all the ones previously listed???...I'm talking about SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE!!!!...CAN YOU DIG IT??? Sly & the Family Stone was an American funk, soul and rock band from San Francisco, California. Active from 1966 to 1983, the band was pivotal in the development of soul, funk, and psychedelic music. Headed by singer, songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist Sly Stone, and containing several of his family members and friends, the band was the first major American rock band to have an integrated lineup in both race and gender.
Brothers Sly Stone and singer/guitarist Freddie Stone combined their bands (Sly & the Stoners and Freddie & the Stone Souls) at the end of 1966. Sly and Freddie Stone, trumpeter Cynthia Robinson, drummer Gregg Errico, saxophonist Jerry Martini, and bassist Larry Graham completed the original lineup; Sly and Freddie's sister, singer/keyboardist Rose Stone, joined within a year. This collective recorded five Top 10 hits and four groundbreaking albums, which greatly influenced the sound of American pop music, soul, R&B, funk, and hip hop music
In late 1968, Sly & the Family Stone released the single "Everyday People," which became the band's first number-one hit. "Everyday People" was a protest against prejudices of all kinds, and popularized the catch phrase "different strokes for different folks."With its b-side "Sing a Simple Song", it served as the lead single for the band's fourth album, Stand!, which was released on May 3, 1969. The Stand! album eventually sold more than three million copies; its title track peaked at number 22 in the U.S. Stand! is considered one of the artistic high points of the band's career; it contained the above three tracks as well as the songs "I Want to Take You Higher", which also appeared on the b-side of the "Stand!" single, "Papa Was A Rolling Stone[verification needed]","Don't Call Me N*****, Whitey", "Sex Machine", and "You Can Make It If You Try".
The success of Stand! secured Sly & the Family Stone a performance slot at the landmark Woodstock Music and Art Festival. The band performed their set during the early-morning hours of August 17, 1969; their performance was said to be one of the best shows of the festival. A new non-album single, "Hot Fun in the Summertime"/"Fun," was released the same month and went to number two on the U.S. pop charts (peaking in October, after the summer of 1969 had already ended). In 1970, following the release of the Woodstock film documentary, the single of "Stand!" and "I Want to Take You Higher" was reissued with the latter song now the a-side; it reached the Top 40.

I was thinking funky in the "eeewwwww" sense. Then I'd go with "Blinded By the Light" I have no idea why his anus got swirly whirley, but it sounds pretty freaky to me...lol
