While you are figuring out your answers, please enjoy this wonderful short film starring James Brown, Clive Owen and Gary Oldman called "Beat the Devil"

Oh, man. James Brown music always makes me smile. "Get up offa that thing" and "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" are my honorable mentions, but "Living in America" is my fave.

"Doin' it to Death" for me! I love hearing James Brown constantly screaming for Maceo :-)

Honorable mentions to The Payback, I Got You (I Feel Good), and "Papa Got A Brand New Bag".

My favorite is Living in America

I love James Brown. More than James Brown I love Bootsy Collins. (Bootsy played bass for James Brown). I listen to the JB's a lot too. (his back up band). You really can't go wrong with James Brown especially 60's JB.

This might be weird but my favorite James Brown album is Jame's Brown's Funky Christmas. It's about the only holiday music I really love.

my pick is:

Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto
Phillipso, Older Brothers, Semolina Pilchards, Zipline , Thank Glennny for the Frisbee, The Odoriferous Valley, The Worldly Self Assurance, Berkeley Social Scene, Very Gentle Knives, Daddy Bop Swing Set, GUNS, The Kraken Lives, Cavedwellers
