Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 18 December 2013 22:24 (ten years ago) link

I was lazy and didn't vote but would have put Vertigo/Relight My Fire at #1.

skip, Wednesday, 18 December 2013 22:25 (ten years ago) link

God knows how this is going to format:

1. ABBA - Lay All Your Love on Me
2. Boney M. - Rasputin
3. Machine - There But for the Grace of God Go I
4. Sister Sledge - Lost in Music
5. Sylvester - You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)
6. Lio - Sage comme une image (Longue version)

Belgian icon who worked with Telex, Sparks, etc. Signed to Ze for a bit. One of the great slinky European disco hits.

http://youtu.be/WuS1lKnkUWo

7. Stylistics, The - Can't Give You Anything (But My Love)
8. Summer, Donna - I Feel Love
9. Sheila & B. Devotion - Spacer
10. ABBA - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)
11. Battisti, Lucio - Ancora tu

Ridiculously beautiful Italian disco-inflected pop from perhaps the country’s greatest songwriter of the modern era.

http://youtu.be/R40xhkxA9W4

12. Flirts, The - Helpless

My favourite Bobby O song by some distance. I like the fact that he wrote a peerless electro-disco smash but still felt the need to steal from Slice Me Nice towards the end, presumably out of habit.

http://youtu.be/xdEyZ3-OjU8

13. Macho - I'm a Man

A little surprised that this didn’t place. 17+ minutes of magnificent, slightly sinister disco.

http://youtu.be/WhvOVJn0i6k

14. Chic - I Want Your Love
15. Hernandez, Patrick - Born to Be Alive
16. Lear, Amanda - Follow Me (Special Disco Mix)

“Faust was right / have no regrets / give me your soul / i’ll give you life”

http://youtu.be/XDupTkjSm5M

17. Material - Bustin' Out

smh at this not placing.

http://youtu.be/-J4mCkIy3bs

18. Cerrone - Supernature
19. Jackson, Michael - Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough
20. Jacksons, The - Can You Feel It
21. Real Thing, The - You to Me Are Everything
22. Divine - I'm So Beautiful
23. Kid Creole and the Coconuts - I'm a Wonderful Thing, Baby
24. Houston, Thelma - Don't Leave Me This Way
25. Carrà, Raffaella - Rumore

Not really pure disco but i am not sure how you would classify it. Carra has so many great songs and so many completely disorientating dance clips to go with them.

http://youtu.be/8-28SOWEWts

26. Digital Emotion - Go Go Yellow Screen

IDK whether anyone cares about Digital Emotion outside of the Netherlands and Russia (they were extensively featured in an episode of the ultimate Russian children’s cartoon Nu Pagodi) but this is first rate Italo / Eurodisco.

http://youtu.be/6T4QuAK7oCE

27. Fancy - Slice Me Nice

“i’m like a cake that wants to be baked! / i’m like a pie made for hungry guys / my body’s burning like a flame that’s blue / it’s time for action baby cut me in two”. Video is appropriately camp / creepy.

http://youtu.be/DzD9CyFtH4o

28. Lear, Amanda - Fashion Pack

“well i was in / and everybody was Travolting”

http://youtu.be/ngOQFOeskSc

29. Santa Esmeralda - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
30. Chic - Le Freak
31. Cristina - La poupée qui fait non

“c’est oui ou c’est non?” “c’est…..peut etre”. August Darnell and Cristina were a wonderful match.

http://youtu.be/o6WQB7_iB54

32. D'Angiò, Pino - Ma quale idea

May be the most louche man in the history of the genre.

http://youtu.be/oHLewcdIWlw

33. McCrae, George - Rock Your Baby
34. Gibson Brothers, The - Cuba

Another that could have placed. Really joyful.

http://youtu.be/yHEuAN4tX34

35. Sister Sledge - He's the Greatest Dancer
36. Gepy & Gepy - Body to Body

Was torn between this and their Zero (which asks the immortal question “would you like to own the biggest liquor store in Bombay?”). Another Italian classic.

http://youtu.be/tTAFenq6XOU

37. Cristina - Temporarily Yours http://youtu.be/szo8ZDmtXtQ
38. McFadden & Whitehead - Ain't No Stoppin Us Now
39. Earth and Fire - Weekend

Perhaps closer to that strange white calypso / disco hybrid that Carly Simon’s Why goes for, rather than out-and-out disco, but irresistible all the same.

http://youtu.be/e9QJUo8EJeM

40. Arabesque - In the Heat of the Disco Night

Another one that relatively few people outside their home country and Russia / Ukraine seem to care about, in my experience. Lead singer Sandra Lauer is better known for a multi-million-selling solo career in Germany and as one of the vocalists for Enigma. Hey Midnight Dancer is another great one.

http://youtu.be/-OehQPiSL88

41. Eruption feat. Precious Wilson - I Can't Stand the Rain
42. Jacksons, The - Blame It on the Boogie
43. Odyssey - Native New Yorker
44. Pointer Sisters - I'm So Excited
45. Benedict, Vijay - I'm a Disco Dancer

The film is a cultural touchstone for Indian / Soviet kids of a certain age and the eight-minute title song (that rips from both The Sound Of Music and Ottawan’s D.I.S.C.O) is terrific. Could easily have gone for Jimmy, Jimmy Aaja as well.

http://youtu.be/dxwnT4o1Q04

46. Boney M - Gotta Go Home
47. Divine - You Think You're a Man
48. Moroder, Giorgio - From Here to Eternity
49. Space - Magic Fly
50 Nolans, The - I'm In The Mood For Dancing

Still waiting for someone to convince me that this isn’t the greatest Irish pop song of the last 40 years.

http://youtu.be/XbAM2_6jKY0

When I logged into my email to retrieve my ballot I've just seen a message Tuomas sent three weeks ago pointing out that Logg's "You've Got That Something" wasn't nominated and asking if I want to change my vote to something else, don't think it would have made too much difference looking at the full results, though.

This poll has been absolutely wonderful and delightfully entertaining. Thank you so much Tuomas for putting it together. I'm going to miss waking up to the latest results that were posted.

I would love to do a separate poll of Paradise Garage hits since I would have liked to have seen a lot more of those standards place, though I'm sure there would be a lot of cross-over from this poll. Rather disappointed there was no "Love is the Message", "Beat the Street", "You Can't Hide Your Love (From Me)", "Mainline", "First Time Around" etc. Perhaps they have their place in another poll that's focused more on underground dance-driven tracks.

totally!

one of those songs that a DJ dropped at a party i was at, 0% of the dancefloor knew it, but by the end of the 1st chorus the whole room was singing along like it was an anthem

that youtube is such poor quality, it really doesn't do it justice.

6. Lio - Sage comme une image (Longue version)

Belgian icon who worked with Telex, Sparks, etc. Signed to Ze for a bit. One of the great slinky European disco hits.

http://youtu.be/WuS1lKnkUWo

had totally forgotten about this incredibly beautiful track, thank you!!!

11. Battisti, Lucio - Ancora tu

Ridiculously beautiful Italian disco-inflected pop from perhaps the country’s greatest songwriter of the modern era.

http://youtu.be/R40xhkxA9W4

had never heard this-- prob my favorite discovery of the whole nomming/voting/results so far!!

kudos sharivari

Lio came really close to my ballot.

Alfre, Lord Woodard (Eric H.), Thursday, 19 December 2013 17:58 (ten years ago) link

17. Material - Bustin' Out

smh at this not placing.

Me too. Would have voted for this for sure, and highly.

Chaplin Band are awesome! I voted for Il Veliero, but really, all the three tracks by them in nom list are top-notch. Too band none of their stuff has ever been (AFAIK) reissued or released as a comp.

Tuomas, Thursday, 19 December 2013 18:19 (ten years ago) link

Also, Flopson gets high five from me for putting two Crown Heights Affair tracks in his ballot! Woo-hoo-hoo hoo-uh, woo-hoo-hoo hoo-ooh!

My ballot. Bold = didn't place. I deliberately excluded artists that have had their own ILM artist poll. There were a couple of things I voted for here that were also in my Motown singles poll ballot.

I remain as shocked that "Instant Replay" didn't make the 100 as I was that "Countdown/This Is It" wasn't nominated. Heigh ho.

01. Dan Hartman – Instant Replay

07. Andrea True Connection – More, More, More
08. Marvin Gaye – Got To Give It Up
09. The Four Seasons – December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)
10. Fern Kinney – Groove Me
11. Boney M – Gotta Go Home
12. Meco – Star Wars Theme/Cantina Band
13. KC & The Sunshine Band – Give It Up

14. Sister Sledge – Lost in Music
15. The Real Thing – Can You Feel The Force?
16. Don Ray – Got To Have Loving

Oh, and on Philly not getting enough love, I don't really think of most of this as disco. But there really needs to be a separate Philly Soul poll.

my biggest regret was forgetting to nominate dc la rue - cathedrals

|$̲̅(̲̅ιοο̲̅)̲̅$̲̅| (gr8080), Thursday, 19 December 2013 19:09 (ten years ago) link

Instant Replay is so joyous, it should've been there

Ismael Klata, Thursday, 19 December 2013 20:02 (ten years ago) link

brimstead, Tuesday, 7 April 2015 04:33 (nine years ago) link

Maybe someday I will too. But not today.
