  • Awesome Music: Many examples, but since we have to start somewhere:
    • "Agony of Defeet". Especially the guitar solo that occurs in the middle of the song.
    • "(Not Just) Knee Deep", a 15-minute catchy jam with an infectious groove and another awesome guitar solo mid-song.
    • "Night of the Thumpasorus Peoples", a mostly instrumental song with yet another awesome solo. Basically, Parliament/Funkadelic solos are pretty much awesome by default.
    • And speaking of solos, "Maggot Brain", the 10-minute opener to the album of the same name, which is basically a huge guitar solo.
  • Chorus-Only Song: "Get Off Your Ass and Jam", "Nappy Dugout".
  • Fair for Its Day: "Jimmy's Got a Little Bit of Bitch In Him" isn't the most tactful way to refer to someone being homosexual. Yet the song doesn't judge or condemn him for it, merely accepts him by saying "Play on, Jimmy."
  • Periphery Demographic: Funkadelic got airplay on underground FM radio, which mainly catered to white rock fans, due to the prominent guitars and less commercial sound.
