the funny thing is, those are both great songs lol

insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Friday, 14 April 2017 20:48 (seven years ago) link

I agree! Too many great tracks in the list to pick real joke songs.

ArchCarrier, Friday, 14 April 2017 20:49 (seven years ago) link

"Lady Marmalade" wrecked for me by Christina, et al thanks to my working in a record store at the height of Moulin Rouge.

The Simpsons ruined/immortalized "Ben" for me.

Curtis wins the Soul Albums and Soul Songs poll

Move On Up was my #2

human music...I like it! (voodoo chili), Friday, 14 April 2017 20:52 (seven years ago) link

My #105 and #57!

Not old and not a fan of the film(s) so here's the third explanation for O-O-H Child: it's fucking beautiful! Not the ooh child part but all those somedays are out of this world.

gospodin simmel, Friday, 14 April 2017 20:52 (seven years ago) link

I like Curtis Mayfield, but I guess I'm anchored to the charts for most of the decade. "Move On Up" didn't even chart...I missed whenever it became famous.

clemenza, Friday, 14 April 2017 20:53 (seven years ago) link

I think there are better Soul albums than Curtis but few better Soul songs than "Move On Up."

Not surprised it didn't chart, unless there's a single edit that I've (thankfully) never heard.

some sad trombone Twilight Zone shit (cryptosicko), Friday, 14 April 2017 20:54 (seven years ago) link

Curtis... is not that good? Riot is but as an album, this is too high for Family Affair alone.

gospodin simmel, Friday, 14 April 2017 20:55 (seven years ago) link

ok with that 1-2 xp

Choco Blavatsky (seandalai), Friday, 14 April 2017 20:55 (seven years ago) link

So, are we doing the 60's or the 80's next?

gospodin simmel, Friday, 14 April 2017 20:56 (seven years ago) link

disappointed that ArchCarrier's youtube link isn't the Sesame Street performance

Choco Blavatsky (seandalai), Friday, 14 April 2017 20:56 (seven years ago) link

Just reading up on it and was released as a single. It charted in the U.K.

(Please don't think I'm saying Must Chart to Be Great. I'm not--just that songs usually Must Chart to Be Famous, and, by extension, to win polls like this one. So I'm just saying that its fame completely by-passed me.)

clemenza, Friday, 14 April 2017 20:57 (seven years ago) link

Thanks ArchCarrier for this!

gospodin simmel, Friday, 14 April 2017 20:57 (seven years ago) link

Thanks Arch! This may be my fave poll to date, at least in terms of the sheer range of material that I could vote for/listen to/discover.

I vote 60s next, but only because the 80s is too huge of a listening project for me atm.

some sad trombone Twilight Zone shit (cryptosicko), Friday, 14 April 2017 20:58 (seven years ago) link

So, are we doing the 60's or the 80's next?

I was thinking about doing the 60s next. Not very interested in the 80s.

ArchCarrier, Friday, 14 April 2017 20:58 (seven years ago) link

Don't know that I've heard or heard of "Band of Gold" or "O-o-h Child"

Choco Blavatsky (seandalai), Friday, 14 April 2017 20:59 (seven years ago) link

I knew Move On Up was going to take this poll as soon as it became apparent early on that the majority of voters were UK based. It's a great great song to be sure but it doesn't get nearly as much love in North America. This was true at the time of its release as well. The Jam cover may also have helped (see also "Stoned Out of My Mind") to cement its mythic status in the UK.

Ρεμπετολογια, Friday, 14 April 2017 20:59 (seven years ago) link

80s R&B is a v grim wasteland imo. There's good stuff but the charts are fucking dire.

Οὖτις, Friday, 14 April 2017 20:59 (seven years ago) link

Another potential stumbling point for an 80s poll: how would you narrow it down to only certain Prince and MJ tracks?

some sad trombone Twilight Zone shit (cryptosicko), Friday, 14 April 2017 21:01 (seven years ago) link

fwiw, 'Move On Up' only slipped into first place at the very end. 'Family Affair' was #1 for most of the time. The difference in points is also very small.

ArchCarrier, Friday, 14 April 2017 21:01 (seven years ago) link

My hot take is that I prefer the Destination disco version of "Move On Up."

insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Friday, 14 April 2017 21:02 (seven years ago) link

80s would be interesting I think - classic Stax/Motown/etc face-off will be fun too but idk if there will be many surprises. I feel the continuity between 70s soul/funk/disco and what came after is less mined-out; maybe that's just my own ignorance though.

Choco Blavatsky (seandalai), Friday, 14 April 2017 21:02 (seven years ago) link

are we posting ballots here?

Choco Blavatsky (seandalai), Friday, 14 April 2017 21:02 (seven years ago) link

Sure, go ahead!

I was 10 when Family Affair was a hit, and I (wrongly) fucking HATED it. I was 9 when Move On Up was a hit, and I always liked it, and later loved it.

The 80's would be more interesting definitely. The canon is very vague beyond Prince/MJ and I'm sure ilm could provide some solid perspective.

gospodin simmel, Friday, 14 April 2017 21:08 (seven years ago) link

OK, keep talking, you might convince me.

Well, thanks everybody for nominating so many great songs and making this such an ejoyable experience. I'll post back here whenever I'm ready to start a new poll.

The 80's are a chance to talk about things like Shalamar, DeBarge, Stephanie Mills, Alexander O'Neal, Gap Band, Luther, Babyface, Rick James, Lionel, Teddy Riley and miss Jackson above all.
