Whoa, that Jacksons Sisters track rocks! I hadn't noticed it during the nominations process because I confused it with "You Sexy Thing" :)

"Stayin' Alive," ugh.
But I don't really care because I'm still so pumped at seeing "There But For The Grace of God Go I" crack the Top 200 despite not even being on the nominations list. So, high five to the other write-in voter!!

High five back! I put it on my ballot after I saw your vote for it. The single best discovery from the disco poll for me.

"Stayin' Alive" is a terrific song, even if no "Turn the Beat Around"
― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 11 April 2017 18:16 (seven years ago) link
I don't hate "Stayin' Alive" like I once did, but one the 100 best disco songs ever? And one of the 200 best Soul/Funk/Disco songs ever? Hell No.
― some sad trombone Twilight Zone shit (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 11 April 2017 18:18 (seven years ago) link
Not exactly sure "I could do without 'Stayin' Alive' in both this and the disco-only poll" is hate, per se.

Almost voted for this one. Went with what I think is an even more well-regarded Jacksons track instead.

"Finders Keepers" was my discovery of this poll. Never knew they were this funky (awesome clavinet again!). Great brass stabs too.

Think I ended up cutting "Blame it on the Boogie" b/c I had at least 5 or 6 other Jackson family songs on my ballot.

that's what happens when you replace your backing band with Funkadelic

"Lovely Day" was one of the two that got my vote.

All of you are wrong with the reverence for P-Funk. I know that's a bizarre opinion to have so I will contain it to this one post. I know they used to get described as the funk Kiss and that's pretty otm.
― gospodin simmel, Tuesday, 11 April 2017 22:13 (seven years ago) link
I have little reverence for P-Funk and only included one song from each if the two major acts on my ballot. Funkadelic albums, more often than not, I find, are a chore.

re: Cruisin', there's some classic s10cki "sad youtube comments" shit in the link:
my friend had a voice like this only raspier. we called him smokey. he shot himself 2 weeks ago, breaks my heart how much this music hurts and heals at the same time. I love my black people, I'm proud of my black family. I love you all. just know that you do matter. no one should be able to make you feel differently
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 11 April 2017 22:53 (seven years ago) link
I really should've gotten my shit together and voted. I feel like a failure, especially since there are a few songs already I could've bumped way up the list.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 12 April 2017 00:32 (seven years ago) link
i didn't manage to vote -- 'september' and 'i'll be around' might have been slightly higher -- but listening to the list makes me wonder if this was . . . the best music
