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.

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

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

17. Material - Bustin' Out

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 Replay
02. Andy Williams – Love Story (Where Do I Begin)

03. Tantra – The Hills of Katmandu (LP version)
04. Lipps Inc – Funkytown
05. Disco Tex & The Sex-o-lettes – Get Dancin´
06. Sparks – The Number One Song In Heaven
