I have a “Rockin” playlist on my iPod that is mainly geared on raging electric guitar, but sometimes it’s just the FUNK that lands a song in the list. A sampling:
Are You Gonna Be My Girl? – JET – trendy, but oh that riff!
Coconuts – Widespread Panic
Carini, First Tube, and I Saw It Again – Phish – Imagine a two year old screaming – “Carini had a wumpy head!” over and over
Shake Your Rump – Beasties
One More Saturday Night – Grateful Dead
Interstate Love Song – STP
Choctaw Hayride – Alison Krauss & Union Station
Soul Flower (Remix) – The Pharcyde
Boogie On Reggae Woman – Stevie Wonder (or any of Phish’s versions as well)
