ALTERNATIVLY BILLY! Instead of jumping right into the pure funk end you could listen to some early Chili Peppers first. The Chili Peppers are who got me into the funk in the first place, I loved their early albums as much as their latest ones even though they never sold anywhere near as many. Their main influences were P-funk, James Brown, Defunkt ect. Buy Freaky Styley if you don't already own it, it's the Chili's funkiest album as it was produced by George Clinton, Dr Funkenstien himself. You can't go wrong with The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Uplift Mofo Party Plan and Mother's Milk also. Of course Blood Sugar Sex Magik is a must for anyone who has ears. I've never really been a huge fan of RHCP tbh Lucas - but (thanks to one of my former housemates) I now listen to them more than I used to - their newer stuff admittedly, but it might be worth trawling back a little and seeing where it all began
