Su-POLL-stition: It's the ~~~ 70s SOUL/FUNK/DISCO TRACKS POLL ~~~ voting & campaigning thread

damn I totally forgot this was happening--will hastily assemble a ballot tonight and tomorrow

damn, did nobody nominate "Outstanding"?

sheeeit

No, because Outstanding was released in 1982.

Dont think i can participate as ive been ill the past 3 weeks (probably gastroenteritis just waiting on results from test) when does voting end?

Get well soon! :(

I'll vote for a lot of P-Funk to make up for it.

Will be voting shortly. Disco largely ignored on my ballot as we've done that poll; hoping others will do the same. Wanna give soul (and non-P-Funk funk) its due. My write-ins below, sorry there are so many. I wanted to pay more attention during the noms process but was too busy.

20th Century Steel Band - Heaven and Hell Is On Earth
Candi Staton - Mr and Mrs Untrue
David Porter - I’m Afraid The Masquerade Is Over
Emotions - Blind Alley
Fatback Band - Put Your Love (In My Tender Care)
Herman Kelly - Dance To the Drummer’s Beat
Incredible Bongo Band - Apache
Isaac Hayes - Joy
Jackson 5 - Hum Along and Dance
Jimmy Castor Bunch - It’s Just Begun
KC & The Sunshine Band - Queen Of Clubs
Pointer Sisters - Pinball Number Count
S.O.U.L. - Burning Spear
Undisputed Truth - Ball Of Confusion (That’s What the World Is Today)

oh, and:

Freda Payne - Unhooked Generation

= also a write-in

OK, i have a 100 track ballot ready to go, but I also have 28 more hours of stuff to preview on Spotify (never even got to the YouTube playlist), so I'm sitting on this until tonight when it's due. Even looking over my list right now, I know I forgot some important stuff.

if i vote im doing a write-in for Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - Don't Leave Me This Way

one of the greatest tracks ever made and this 12" mix is astounding

Nobody nominated Mandrill - Ape Is High? Best song of the 70s!

Voted!

Any chance to send out ballot confirmations? I had wrong email the first time and not sure if mine went through

I threw a ballot together but not much thinking behind it. Wish I had been well enough to participate in noms and campaigning as quite a few of my fave songs weren't nominated but ah well.

Gutted that Ape Is High esp wasnt nommed

OK, I am absolutely not going to be able to turn a ballot in time. Please tell me this is going to be like all other ILX polls and the deadline is going to get extended a day or two.

I have my 100 ready to go, but I certainly wouldn't sneeze at having more re/listening time. Plus, I don't like the idea of this poll happening without Eric.

(voted, btw)

I don't think I'll be able to start the results today, so you've got until tomorrow morning (Euro time) to get your ballots in. Eric, please vote!

I just sent out confirmation mails to everyone who voted.

Ballot will be in today!

So far, the best song I've been introduced to from this poll has been BB King's Ain't Nobody Home.

just sent a ballot! hastily assembled, as promised, but it features some of my favorite songs of all time!

17 ballots in, about 10 more hours to vote!

VOTING CLOSED

Stand by for the final results...

Here we go:
