Lets say a robot cowboy is chasing and shooting at you, he corners you and tells you the only way to live is to recommend him a funk record from the early 70's...

it doesn't make sense that he'd be shooting at you, and then insisting he'll spare you if you give him funk info

however: Black Caesar and The Payback by James Brown.

I was actually thinking of starting a robot cowboy band and calling it *The Gram Parsons Project*, but I didn't know if someone had already done that before.

There's a Riot Goin' On, I guess. My funk education was weak.

I'd recommend the first four Funkadelic records and he'd kill me anyway because robot cowboys roll like dat.

The Meters self-titled one.
but if he's a drummer robot cowboy: Bernard Purdie's Soul Drums.

Miles Davis - On the Corner. That ought to keep a robot occupied for a while.

The Brides of Funkenstein, Never Buy Texas From a Cowboy

... the song, not the album. And I said that without even realising it mentioned cowboys in the title!

Sly & the Family Stone - Spaced Cowboy

Mothership Connection by Parliament.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 8 December 2005 13:56 (twenty years ago)

Your threads are truly strange, startrekman - all these anthropomorphic synthesizers and robotic cowboys...but whatever. Nobody's mentioned the Isley Brothers yet, so I'll recommend The Heat Is On. And note that Peru's answer was surely the finest yet. (If only it were an entire album.)

jimmy castor bunch.

its just begun... even if its not early 70's the robots circuits would fry with the percussion on troglodyte.

ost of sweet sweetback's badaaasss song
not really funk but hey - it's a robot cowboy...

Meters' Cabbage Alley, also Black Merda's The Folks From Mother's Mixer (2 LPs on 1 CD: I'd always heard, "oh they're so weird," but they don't just sing about "My Mistake"[murdering the wrong person], they sing about a lotta stuff! And they can play better than earlyass Funkadelic.)A robot cowboy should dig the Headhunters too.
