I know that many would say Meters records have been done to death...but that doesn't take away from the fact that the shit is dope...
If any Strutters have a moment, please post something that in your opinion elicits a broken neck or break face more than a Meters record...thanks.

fuck the non-funky haters
Love the bass line and kazoo like horn section on this.
Ha ha ha. I do love the Meters but when I'm DJing trying to find a song to play I often think, "damn, this stuff is just too damned slow!" Cardova is usually what I go with. Or [chickenrelated]Chicken Strut[/chickenrelated].
Ject...eddie bo and his drummer james black probably could go track for track and rock harder than the meters in my opinion. but i love them both
I don't care how slow the grooves are, for me listening to Zigaboo playing is the exact opposite to boring.
That first minute or so, my goodness.
Yeah, that was a great loop. One of those "holy crap, why has nobody used this before?" joints.
Or Hook & Sling. I remember in an early issue of Big Daddy somebody put out an album (CD I think) of James Black drumming. Anybody kop that ish?

And @Button, I can totally see someone not digging The Meters...I've noticed lots of their tracks don't keep my attention for the entire length of the tune but I always assumed that's cuz I'm a hyper-ADD impatient dude whose always looking for the break.
EDIT: Oh yeah, might as well keep the tunes coming....
Not especially "hard hitting" but they really have the Meters' sound DOWN.
if anyone goes harder than the meters its james/jbs.
Ike Turner from the highly recommended Black man's soul lp. Shreddin it!
