^^^ diggin' that Chaplin Bros. track! Completely unknown to me.
― Glenn Miller-core (Dan Peterson), Thursday, 19 December 2013 17:38 (ten years ago) link
Er, Chaplin Band. (See how unknown it is?)
― Glenn Miller-core (Dan Peterson), Thursday, 19 December 2013 17:40 (ten years ago) link
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

17. Material - Bustin' Out smh at this not placing.
smh at this not placing.
Me too. Would have voted for this for sure, and highly.
― Glenn Miller-core (Dan Peterson), Thursday, 19 December 2013 18:14 (ten years ago) link
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 Replay02. Andy Williams – Love Story (Where Do I Begin)03. Tantra – The Hills of Katmandu (LP version)04. Lipps Inc – Funkytown05.

Sister Sledge – Lost in Music15. The Real Thing – Can You Feel The Force?16. Don Ray – Got To Have Loving17. USA-European Connection – Come Into My Heart / Good Loving18. First Choice – Armed and Extremely Dangerous19. Donna Summer – Bad Girls20. Sister Sledge – He's the Greatest Dancer21. McFadden & Whitehead – Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now 22.

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
