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 Me2. Boney M. - Rasputin3. Machine - There But for the Grace of God Go I4. Sister Sledge - Lost in Music5. 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 Love9. Sheila & B. Devotion - Spacer10. 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 Love15. Hernandez, Patrick - Born to Be Alive16. 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 - Supernature19. Jackson, Michael - Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough20. Jacksons, The - Can You Feel It21. Real Thing, The - You to Me Are Everything22. Divine - I'm So Beautiful23. Kid Creole and the Coconuts - I'm a Wonderful Thing, Baby24. Houston, Thelma - Don't Leave Me This Way25. 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 Misunderstood30. Chic - Le Freak31. 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 Baby34. Gibson Brothers, The - Cuba
Another that could have placed. Really joyful.
http://youtu.be/yHEuAN4tX34
35. Sister Sledge - He's the Greatest Dancer36. 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/szo8ZDmtXtQ38. McFadden & Whitehead - Ain't No Stoppin Us Now39. 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 Rain42. Jacksons, The - Blame It on the Boogie43. Odyssey - Native New Yorker44. Pointer Sisters - I'm So Excited45. 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 Home47. Divine - You Think You're a Man48. Moroder, Giorgio - From Here to Eternity49. Space - Magic Fly50 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.

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.

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
