(Apart from "One Nation Under A Groove". But that cleared the floor when I played it out a couple of weeks ago, so pfft to it.)

I voted for a bunch of Funkadelic, but yeah, not Maggot Brain.
― Fastnbulbous, Friday, 14 April 2017 18:02 (nine years ago)
has always felt like more of an 80s song to me, just the production and general vibe. ridiculous that it's this high.
― Οὖτις, Friday, 14 April 2017 18:02 (nine years ago)
Aww, glad this made it. An especially lovely vocal performance from Lionel here.

This always felt like a jingle to me. Never figured anybody actually enjoyed it. Will give it a shot I guess.
― gospodin simmel, Friday, 14 April 2017 18:03 (nine years ago)
No, it doesn't work. Prefer 80's Lionel comfortably.

LOL at "Easy," but hey, it's awesome that it's above "Maggot Brain" so
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Friday, 14 April 2017 18:16 (nine years ago)
It would've been a fun exercise to list each song's WhoSampled entry when they placed.
Obviously, "Easy"'s greatest legacy is inspiring "Hey Ma"

"Maggot Brain" was my #2.

"Stairway" at #3 obv.

Patrice so high is a nice surprise; Undisputed Truth is one of my best new finds (but still fell outside my 100).
― mike t-diva, Friday, 14 April 2017 18:32 (nine years ago)
That's my #1.
Have never heard the Patrice Rushen song. Admittedly I was paying less attention by '79, but it didn't seem to be that big of a hit Stateside (#42).

The Rain is almost as classic as I Can't Stand the Rain. SMF works as a Nixon song I guess, if Nixon=dread. It is my favorite of those but Bad Luck is different imo.

Acceptably high-but-not-too-high for a genre-skirting masterpiece.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Friday, 14 April 2017 18:55 (nine years ago)
I'm just gonna pretend Smokey is tied with I Feel Love as that's about right

I am always surprised how modern "Good Times" still sounds. A timeless classic.

Teardrops is from the late 80s.

― gospodin simmel, Friday, 14 April 2017 19:27 (nine years ago)
xp And the other two from 1980, so they won't place, no.
― ArchCarrier, Friday, 14 April 2017 19:28 (nine years ago)
Sex Machine was my #1. The 10 minute version is just out of hand.

Would have been a worthy number one. Crazy deep grooves.

I can think of about 4 or 5 songs that are still guaranteed to show up. Beyond that, no clue.

random thought: what was the deal with two-faced people in the early 70s? Got Smiling Faces Sometimes and The Backstabbers here. People still sing about this?
