my actual fav disco track is handsome man by sparkle
I Feel Love seems too obvious, Life on Mars too fusion, Bohannon too funk, Loose Joints too artsy, and yet my choice is probably one of these.
That Martin Circus track is new to me, and insane. I couldn't make it through the whole thing.

"over and over" is such a tear-jerker for me when it comes to lyrical subject matter but that's only one of a few reasons i love it. it's such a great fusion of live energy and disco production, feels intimate and casual, and it's sylvester at his best vocally.

The sound is so tinny and, at the same time, so intimate.

plus i imagine my friend l3roy who was a back-up dancer for sylvester stalking around and putting his arms around everyone's shoulders for the refrain. xp i don't know what you're talking about.

Every charge I've heard leveled at "Over and Over" -- that it's too top heavy, that it's too fast -- just makes me that much more protective of it.

That was posted already in a more appropriate thread:

Cheers. Couldn't search so just chose the most appropriate from my bookmarks.

You can still search by going to Google and putting the text site:ilxor.com and your search term to the search field. I searched for site:ilxor.com gibbons, and that thread was the 3rd Google result.

Popped my disc of this countdown in my car recently and it's still a really well-rounded group of tunes.

Still no clue how "Do What You Wanna Do" ended up top 3, but it's a great chugger nonetheless.
