Great list sonofsamiam! I tend to like my funk served up cold in synthesized glory, so I'll recommend some albums in that style.
Prince- 1999: THE funk behemoth!
Gap Band- IV: Their most solid album with a mixture of scorching synth-funk juggernauts, midtempo cool grooves and classic soul ballads.
Zapp & Roger- All the Greatest Hits: synth funk trailblazers!
Chromeo- Fancy Footwork: This one is from last year, and while its lyrics are silly, the curl of the funk is all there!
Mtume- Juicy Fruit: Silky, sexy funk with some quiet storm ballads as well.
