Yes! I was hoping this wouldn't win. I do like it and it is important and amazing and all, but it leaves me a bit cold and there are a lot of other records I like but couldn't vote for anyway. Plus Love To Love You Baby is her actual best record imo.

3 fewer points and it would've missed the top 3, even.

Delighted by Thelma and Machine. I can't think of another disco lyric as audacious as There But for the Grace of God - a harsh morality tale about snobbery, overparenting and white (well, Latino) flight. And I like every version of Don't Leave Me This Way - Bluenotes, Thelma, Communards, the lot. A monster of a tune.

Ismael, you are wrong. Totally deserved to win.

This wouldn't have been a fair comparison, because some people voted for both versions, so had the votes been merged, "I Feel Love" would've had an advantage compared to songs with only one version on the list.

If you combine the two versions, I Feel Love gets 1067 points, 23 votes and four number one votes so keeping them separate has certainly made it more interesting.

"I Want Your Love"
for the chuckin!
― mr.raffles, 16. elokuuta 2012 23:16
"I Want Your Love" is my favourite song ever but I like the 12" version with the extended strings/brass section best. The "how really bad your love I neeeeeeed" harmony that leads into it is fucking mind blowing.
― Eugene Sander-Rygar (MPx4A), 10. syyskuuta 2009 19:57
favourite bit in it, the bassline when it goes "badada bum bum, badada bam bam".
― amarillo fat (jim), 10. syyskuuta 2009 20:13
if rev is actually interested in dancing to chic, he might listen to 'i want your love' and check out the degree to which yr actually dancing to the (quite active) bassline rather than the 4/4 groove...

I could burrow down into the burning, roiling groove in "I Want Your Love" forever. It almost makes me want to fuck up my life on purpose just to tap into that undercurrent of desperation. The sixteenth-note strings then brass figure a few minutes in is just rococo enough, then it strips down completely to the rawest but cleanest ur-funk guitar ever. Just amazing.

Difficult to argue with as a top-20-er, and I voted for it, but #2???

That bassline. If the no.1 is as I think it is then that's a surprise but all the more worthy for that.
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 18 December 2013 21:36 (ten years ago) link
I want your love got a boost in the late 90s when moodyman sampled it for I can't kick this feeling when it hits and then another huge boost when todd terje's edit borrowed some of moodyman's repetitions. the track has been huge since the terje edit and terje is huge on ILM ergo this placement, i think.

Alright well I'm off to snort some coke and listen to "Disco Duck."
― Andy K, 30. toukokuuta 2002 3:00
Anyhow, a quick listen to the horns in "Disco Duck" yields the surprising information that somebody's been listening rather carefully to their Tower of Power collection.
― John Darnielle, 4. kesäkuuta 2002 3:00
I'm beginning to think "Disco Duck" was the perfect #1 afterall.

Let us all bow our heads as we contemplate "Disco Duck."

Also, "Disco Duck." Even though that one came out when I was seven, even at an early age, I appreciated the classics...

Gtf in! Was worried it wasn't gonna make it. The number 1 can be only one now can't it? One of my clubbing life highlights was Derrick may dropping it in the middle of a hard techno set. Best be right now...
― ewar woowar (or something), Wednesday, 18 December 2013 21:45 (ten years ago) link
Sorry about that, seems I miscounted the votes slightly in Disco Duck's favour. Real #1 coming up soon.
