Could it be I'm POLLING in love? ~~~ ILM 70s SOUL/FUNK/DISCO TRACKS POLL ~~~ RESULTS THREAD!

At this point, everything is too low.

Everything will be too low until we reach #1. Which if it's "I Want You Back" I will say "TOO HIGH!"

Figured nobody would vote for Proud Mary. It's as played as Stayin Alive and not as unique.

Yay for Sweet Thing. That was one of my noms, though I obvs didn't bother voting for it because I am a horrible person.

Ike & Tina's "Proud Mary" (which I voted for) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Stayin' Alive"

(and that is the last time I will diss that song itt, I promise)

Also, the relatively low placement of "Jungle Boogie" is the biggest surprise of the rollout for me, so far. Had it in the top quarter of my ballot.

"I Need Somebody To Love Tonight" placing = A+

A haunting, hypnotic track.

I can never get over how goofily earnest KC is in period clips. Surprised at him placing above some of these others, he does have some stuff I like though

He's my boogie man.

a real Kelso/That 70s Show vibe

xp - What's wrong with that audience? Only four people are dancing!

I'm too busy at work to do anything other than offer jejune adjectives. Tavares' "More Than a Woman" is so stately.

I somehow missed jungle boogie in the noms as it wouldve been top 5 for me

What's wrong with that audience? Only four people are dancing!

haha yeah it is v weird

xp voted for both "Hollywood Swingin" and "Summer Madness" over "Jungle Boogie"

but i did rush out a ballot inbetween bouts of ill so i have an excuse!

TOO LOW!

Everything placing after Patti Jo is TOO HIGH

It's a shame that song didn't make the top 100!!

"It's a Shame" was just one of a ridiculous number of Spinners tracks I voted for, so I really hope there is more to come.

Yay for Manu Dibango!

I was the other voter for Reasons, had it in my top ten--spectacular guitar and fierce vocal creating that euphoria

Excellent work. It's one of my favourite album openers ever.

Great to see Machine Gun make it. I had another Commodores song really high on my list but I'm almost certain nobody else will have voted for it.

Love I Need Somebody to Love Tonight by Sylvester. That and Don't Stop are his two best songs for me.

I was just listening to Sweet Thing. They're such an underrated group. I voted for that and Tell Me Something Good.

You Ought to Be With Me is my favourite Al Green song.

Lots of other songs I'm happy to see here too.. and James Brown.

I was the #1 voter for "You Make Me Feel Brand New". Airrion Love sets it up, Thompkins, Jr. knocks it out the park.

Jogging back even further, how have I never heard MJ's "I Wanna Be Where You Are" before? Were those late 1971 recordings his secret peak? There's this, "Got To Be There" and his masterly version of "Ain't No Sunshine" just for starters.

Misstra Know It All has always been my favorite Stevie Wonder song.

Ha, was I really the only #1 vote for "The Payback"? I guess I have no real concept of what is canonical here.
