Sister Sledge, "One More Time"

My Feet Keep Dancing, which is a glittering skyscraper an inch higher than I'm Coming Out, which is in turn an inch higher than I Want Your Love.

if the '84 remix of "Lost in Music" had been included, I'd have voted for it.

Pretty sure my vote will end up going to "Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah."

"I Want Your Love"

for the chuckin!

― mr.raffles, Thursday, 16 August 2012 20:16 (10 months ago) Permalink

"Upside Down" is the best here, though there are several great ones.

Hey Rev, remember when you didn't like Chic?

Why I don't "get" Chic

― Fine Toothcomb (sonofstan), Sunday, 19 August 2012 21:41 (10 months ago) Permalink

this is hard, but i chose "Good Times" because, well, it is the one that i fell in love with first.

if Nile Rodgers mix of "Lost in Music" were on here, i'd have chosen that. that mix is obscene.

or "Why" - jesus the 12inch of "Why"....

oh wait shit is this the 12" or not? I may have misvoted if it isn't. Because the 12" is one of the three greatest records in the history of sound recording, but some of the other tracks here are potentially better than the album vers.

12" version is on the box.

woo

Think I might have to go for Everybody Dance, that bassline is unbeatable. Wasn't My Old Piano a single? Might have gone for that if it was listed.

My two favourite Chic related songs would be Sister Sledge's Pretty Baby and 26 by Chic neither were singles, surprisingly.

decided "At Last I Am Free" deserved an acknowledment

― just one little Tayto (Noodle Vague), Monday, 20 August 2012 05:45 (10 months ago) Permalink

"My Forbidden Lover" is my favorite of the bunch.

― โตเกียวเหมียวเหมียว aka Italo Night at Some Gay Club (Mount Cleaners), Monday, 20 August 2012 05:55 (10 months ago) Permalink

Voted "Why", assuming it's the 12-inch version. "My Old Piano" is a notable omission, although I wouldn't have voted for it. Nearly went for "Good Times" or "Spacer". Good to see some support for the 1984 remix of "Lost In Music" - LOVE that.

first one to mention (and publicly vote for) Thinking Of You

― gospodin simmel, Monday, 20 August 2012 14:06 (10 months ago) Permalink

Just voted that one!

― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Monday, 20 August 2012 14:09 (10 months ago) Permalink

"You Are Beautiful" needs more love - I grin every time I hear the Clark Gable line. I keep forgetting that "Pretty Baby" wasn't a single - it keeps popping up in all sorts of odd places (heard it a month ago in Vienna being played in a clothing store, right after "Good Life").

But yeah, impossible - "My Feet Keep Dancing"/"Why"/"I Want Your Love" and the big singles, yeesh.

Sister Sledge-Lost In Music 0

because everyone was sure it would win?

― gospodin simmel, Friday, 24 August 2012 00:04 (9 months ago) Permalink

bcz it's not the 1984

― itt: i forgot that he yells at a butt (sic), Friday, 24 August 2012 00:18 (9 months ago) Permalink

I almost voted for "Lost In Music," but in the end went with "I Want Your Love." Now I feel bad.

― Kent Burt, Friday, 24 August 2012 00:44 (9 months ago) Permalink

i love the 'doo doo doo doo' hook on "Everybody Dance" so much

― some dude, Friday, 24 August 2012 01:03 (9 months ago) Permalink

"High Society" easily the best song to not get a vote.

― Andy K, Friday, 24 August 2012 01:14 (9 months ago) Permalink

Wish I'd given Saturday a vote, it looks lonely. The middle section is so good -- the double snare hit that splits "if you left it -- up to me" is one of my favorite single moments in any song.

What do you people think of the Dimitri remixes?
