Punk Funk Top Ten..Slap Bass Guaranteed!

Only the punkyest funkyest need apply for this run down....


1. A Certain Ratio: Shack Up
Four skinny white boys and one awesome black drummer cover obscure "sleep with whoever is about" pre aids funk diatribe with arse wiggerling results.



2. James White and The Blacks: Contort Yourself
Random punk nihilistic foolishness saved by parping bass and beats you need five legs to dance to.



3. Gang Of Four : To Hell With Poverty
God what a fucking racket, and then the bass comes in and all is well. Nice dancing mister insurance salesman!



4. The Bloods: Button Up
These guys only made one tune, but what a classic! Iron fingered bass solo to end all iron fingered bass solos...



5.The Pop Group: We Are All Prostitutes
I can't imagine Coldplay accusing their audience of housewives and Mondeo drivers of all being prostitutes? But then thats why they all have swimming pools and these guys work in Tescos..



6. Delta 5: Mind Your Own Business
NO! MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!




7. 23 Skidoo: Coup
As sampled by Chemical Brothers, with horns by Aswad, but don't let that put you off! I always thought it was "Coup" as in "Coupe" but its actually "Coup" as in a violent revolution, which is obvious when you hear the explosions and a guy yelling "fuck you GI!"..



8.Liquid Liquid: Cavern
As ripped off by Grandmaster Flash for "White Lines". Cool vid!



9.Shriekback: My Spine (Is The Bassline)
Everything else these guys did was toss but this rocked! Say no to white rap though!



10. The Clash: Overpowered By Funk
The daddies of all things white and funky!
