Hi five ArchCarrier!
I wanted to vote for Time To Get Down, which wasn't nominated, so I voted for my second favorite O'Jays song instead

"Stayin' Alive," ugh.
But I don't really care because I'm still so pumped at seeing "There But For The Grace of God Go I" crack the Top 200 despite not even being on the nominations list. So, high five to the other write-in voter!!

High five back! I put it on my ballot after I saw your vote for it. The single best discovery from the disco poll for me.

I don't hate "Stayin' Alive" like I once did, but one the 100 best disco songs ever? And one of the 200 best Soul/Funk/Disco songs ever? Hell No.

All of you are wrong with the reverence for P-Funk. I know that's a bizarre opinion to have so I will contain it to this one post. I know they used to get described as the funk Kiss and that's pretty otm.
― gospodin simmel, Tuesday, 11 April 2017 22:13 (seven years ago) link
I have little reverence for P-Funk and only included one song from each if the two major acts on my ballot. Funkadelic albums, more often than not, I find, are a chore.
