Funkadelic-Maggot Brain (1971)

Together with Parliament, Funkadelic were the greatest exponents of the fusion between psychedelic rock, funk and soul, a fascinating synthesis that Jimi Hendrix would take to the creative peak and that musicians such as George Clinton exploited to unsuspected limits. Originally founded in 1964 by George Clinton with musicians from the Parliament band. His innovative concept was channeled through the two aforementioned bands.
While Parliament made a softer funk based on rhythm and blues and wind and string arrangements, Funkadelic practiced an experimental funk rock, with powerful guitars influenced by Jimi Hendrix with scratchy and raw sounds taken from the hard rock bands of Detroit.
"Maggot Brain" would be the title of his third and definitive album, published in 1971, an essential album in the history of psychedelic funk rock and that would decisively influence hundreds of later artists. Its star songs is precisely the one that gives the album its title, a ten-minute epic where its fantastic guitarist Eddie Hazel develops an impressive guitar solo, apparently under the effects of hallucinogens such as LSD. The rest of the album is not lagging behind and so are captivating songs like "Super Stupid", "Hit It And Quit It" or "Wars of Armageddon", this last one an amazing jam that closes this masterpiece of funk rock.
