"Stayin' Alive" is a terrific song, even if no "Turn the Beat Around"
― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 11 April 2017 18:16 (seven years ago) link
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.

Not exactly sure "I could do without 'Stayin' Alive' in both this and the disco-only poll" is hate, per se.

Almost voted for this one. Went with what I think is an even more well-regarded Jacksons track instead.

"Finders Keepers" was my discovery of this poll. Never knew they were this funky (awesome clavinet again!). Great brass stabs too.

Think I ended up cutting "Blame it on the Boogie" b/c I had at least 5 or 6 other Jackson family songs on my ballot.

"Lovely Day" was one of the two that got my vote.

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.

Very glad about Ashford & Simpson and Dr. Buzzard placing. Hope there's more to come. Cruisin and Angel seem sort of crazy low?
― gospodin simmel, Tuesday, 11 April 2017 22:49 (seven years ago) link
re: Cruisin', there's some classic s10cki "sad youtube comments" shit in the link:
my friend had a voice like this only raspier. we called him smokey. he shot himself 2 weeks ago, breaks my heart how much this music hurts and heals at the same time. I love my black people, I'm proud of my black family. I love you all. just know that you do matter. no one should be able to make you feel differently
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 11 April 2017 22:53 (seven years ago) link
I really should've gotten my shit together and voted. I feel like a failure, especially since there are a few songs already I could've bumped way up the list.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 12 April 2017 00:32 (seven years ago) link
I just didn't have time to dedicate to compiling a ballot for this poll. If I had, "In the Rain" would have gotten more points - love that song.
― lingereffect (Kent Burt), Wednesday, 12 April 2017 02:54 (seven years ago) link
I know predictions are gauche but screw it. Super Bad, I Bet You and Cruisin' have all somehow managed to miss the top 150 of this poll. So nobody apart from ArchCarrier has any idea what's going to happen.
I'm predicting something from There's A Riot wins this. Probably Family Affair.

This. There's so much territory and (frankly) so few ballots it could go any direction.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Wednesday, 12 April 2017 04:06 (seven years ago) link
With only 19 voters and 762 songs receiving votes anything could happen.
I was glad to Al Wilson's Show & Tell make the list. Didn't know that one until this poll. Great tune.
