I've said this before: War's "Low Rider", with its insanely springy assembly-line rhythm, is perhaps my favourite groove of all time; and if they'd decided to fill an entire LP side with it, that'd be more than fine with me.

Well, it's on their 3rd album : fosbury. A new style for them - more danceable and still great
But Take me back is a very simple pure pop song

And this:

Particularly that breakdown in the middle where most of the song is hushed to nearly nothing except for backup vocals and drums.

That entire Games EP for sure

Bowie - 'Chant of the Ever-Circling Skeletal Family'. Always drives me nuts how great a groove that is and how short a time it's actually sustained.

I also remember being disappointed to learn that there's no extended version of Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman", which at 4 minutes is way too short for such a disco epic. There is a long house remix from the '80s, but that doesn't satisfy the same need, I'm surprised no one has made a proper old-school disco edit of it.

two proper old-school disco edits.

Rihanna -- "James Joint" but make it 4X
Future feat. Drake -- "Never Satisfied"
Would say Jeezy -- "Win Is a Win" but it does work good as an interlude

Weird minor trend of dope hip hop/R&B tracks being minute-long interludes for whatever reason, basically.
