I'll post my full ballot as soon as I'm in a position to, but I have to say real quick that it's IN. SANE. that Cheryl Lynn's 'Shake it Up Tonight' and Jenny Burton's 'I Remember What You Like' only got two votes each. These are monster jams, folks. Treat yourself, I implore you.

xp: As I hear it, disco bifurcated into 4/4 kick lead house and melodic bassline lead boogie. Boogie basslines are also more Motown inspired than the octave jumping ostinatos of disco. The lower tempo spawn of boogie and P-funk is 80s synth funk.

Since I see I was the only person to vote for it, I'm left wondering...are y'all unfamiliar with Whitney & Teddy's 'Hold Me'? I know it doesn't have much (any?) cultural cachet (I might be more familiar with it than most since that first Whitney album was in constant rotation in my mom's car), but it was released as a single by both artists, and I genuinely think it's one of the best ballads of the '80s.
