Easily the largest band ever inducted into the RRHOF, Parliament-Funkadelic represent one of the most influential bands of the 20th Century.

re "15 out of the 16 inductees were members of both Parliament and Funkadelic. Glenn Lamont Goins was only a member of Parliament."

Glen Goins sang and played guitar on the two Funkadelic albums released during his tenure with the band, and he sang and played guitar on stage during Funkadelic songs. Parliament and Funkadelic were the same band.

I heard Bernie Worrell's cancer is getting worse. Keep the Wizard of Woo in your thoughts and prayers everybody.

Saw George and current members of the crew on the Fourth of July in St. Louis. George still really knows how to get down and funky, and he reminded us that we are 'one nation under a groove'! The show was awesome, but I had to leave halfway through. Glad I crossed off another RRHOFer off my 'seen' list.

You made a mistake on your snubbed list, Cordell "Boogie" Mosson IS in the RRHOF. However Tawl Ross, who played on Funkadelic's first three albums as their rhythm guitarist isn't.

Pakish John isn't even counted as a snub? He was a founding member of Parliament/Funkadelic and has been integral in 6 (SIX!!!) HoF bands yet has not been included in any of them. Wankers

It's Pakash John

Roy, in wiki he's listed as 'Prakash John'.

FRL,

Please include The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein (1976) as an essential album as it was inducted into the Album Project last June (June 15) via the Genre Vote under the category of 1970s Funk.
