Special thanks to my man
Rickey "Uhuru Maggot" Vincent for supplying the Amoeblog with his enlightening
Top Ten Funk Sessions of 2010 list that includes the likes of
Bernie Worrell's
SociaLybrium, Nick Rosen, and
Punk Funk Mob. In addition to his Top Ten, Vincent has included some "also digging" additional picks.
Rickey Vincent, who was interviewed about his favorite topic
here last year, literally wrote the book on funk music.
Vincent's acclaimed music history book
Funk: The Music, the People, and the Rhythm of The One (St. Martin's Press), which won the ASCAP Deems Taylor Award, is the ultimate guide to funk music and its rich history.
Rickey Vincent, who many know from his long-running, popular
KPFA 94.1FM radio show
The History of Funk (10pm-midnight Fridays) knows more about funk than anyone I know. Not surprisingly, as well as being an author & journalist, he is also an educator on the subject and has taught classes at both City College of San Francisco and SF State University.
Vincent's 2010 Top Ten follows:

Another year and another wide ranging collection of funky discs have come my way, and I’m going to share my favorite ones from the year. The best criteria I can give is that these discs have been playing in my iPod nonstop since they came out. Simple as that.
