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.

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.

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!

11. Battisti, Lucio - Ancora tu

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

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

You've have heard this "version" though, right?

(it was on the Peter Gordon comp that DFA put out)

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.

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
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
17. USA-European Connection – Come Into My Heart / Good Loving
18. First Choice – Armed and Extremely Dangerous

49. The Whispers – And The Beat Goes On
50. Thelma Houston – Don’t Leave Me This Way

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

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

how did i forget to vote for don ray - body and soul

also, i take back anything bad i may have said about the patrick cowley "i feel love" remix.

Maybe someday I will too. But not today.
