?? I think Ca plane pour moi def is.

maybe it is. I see it hit #47 on the Hot 100.

the one ive done at karaoke

^ I choose to believe you mean the Bee Gees

There's no point in asking, you'll get no reply

Perhaps if you hummed a few bars ...

Ditto on Tavares's "More Than a Woman." The Bee Gees' version is fine--it's them in the movie when the camera whirls in circles, right?--but Tavares make it even better.

'trans europe express'

really tempted by 'uptown top ranking' or 'blank generation.' i've never knowingly heard the clash.

Wait, what?

That is not OK. Also - I doubt that's true.

playing WilliamC Spotify mix of this now.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

birdland is so silly

manhattan transfer goes hard on this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1nj6Yla_Vg

I love what Wayne Shorter did in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, and in Miles' bands, but Weather Report can eat my poo.

not even the first album?

"Dreams"

Eh, it just never did it for me.

xp

Also, one of the worst band names ever.

Why are We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions listed as if they're one song? I hate that.

Voting Fela, that groove is so sick.

Why are We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions listed as if they're one song? I hate that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Will_Rock_You

. In 1977, "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions" were issued together as a worldwide top ten single.[7] Soon after the album was released, many radio stations began playing the songs back to back without interruption.[8]

When performed live, this version is usually followed by "We Are the Champions", another of the album's hits, as they were designed to run together.[7] The songs are often paired on the radio and at sporting events, where they are frequently played.[7] They were the last two songs Queen performed at Live Aid in 1985.[15] The songs are also paired back to back on the album, and they are still played together to this day on American classic rock radio stations.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

shocking

Yay, after a look at the list and a gut-check, I went with "Marquee Moon". But really comparing some of these is like the unstoppable force meets the immovable object.

i'm surprised that "I Feel Love" didn't steamroll this poll.

sure it came out on top but i expected to win by a wide margin let alone tie.

surprised that uptown top ranking got nil

Didn't vote, but would've gone with Trans Europe Express, which I remember being totally startling and weird when it came on the radio back then

voted "flashlight", but half wish i'd thrown another point to "ca plane pour moi" (or "psycho killer" or "zombie" or "blank generation" or...)

You know it's a good year when Uptown Top Ranking and Frankie Teardrop get no votes.

I think I forgot to vote in this poll.

SORRY DONNA & GIORGIO ;_;
