48 years ago today (7/12/71), Funkadelic released their psychedelic rock LP ‘Maggot Brain‘ – largely regarded as one of the greatest records of all time. This was the last album that featured the original Funkadelic lineup; shortly after Maggot Brain was recorded, Tawl Ross, Eddie Hazel, Billy Nelson, and Tiki Fulwood left the band for various reasons. When most people think of Funkdadelic the late 70’s “One Nation Under A Groove” Mothership Connection era might come to mind first, but Maggot Brain transcended many boundaries at the time and was as freaky as you can possibly get. Listen to the classic “Hit It and Quit It” from Maggot Brain.
