Liebrand's super long edit of "Love Can't Turn Around" is ridiculously fun, but I still gotta go for "House of the Rising Sun", it's one of the best disco covers of all time. Discovering lesser known gems like that one was one of the best things about this compilation series.

This is impossible.

Pretty much, but I’ll have “Boogie Oogie Oogie” starting in pole position, I think.

If it's under 7 minutes long it can gtfo from a 12" mix comp is my view. A fairly easy vote for West End Girls on that basis.

The Runner, The Runner, The Runner - so great

― Josefa, Monday, 8 October 2018 17:02 (five years ago) link

Tuomas and Josefa both otm. I also love the Deodato.

Going through the ones I don't know too well and Spank is an excellent proto-House heavy disco roller. Front runner so far.

Passion by The Flirts. Could go on another nine minutes and not outstay its welcome. Bobby O was so good at that.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Think imma go with Ai No Corrida here.

This volume is so much better than #3. It’s a tossup between at least ten songs.

― Siegbran, Saturday, 13 October 2018 00:10 (five years ago) link

this is "he's the greatest dancer"

― macropuente (map), Saturday, 13 October 2018 03:50 (five years ago) link

j/k it could be 20 of these.

― macropuente (map), Saturday, 13 October 2018 03:51 (five years ago) link

but 'he's the greatest dancer' is truly irresistible and i submit would shut down a dance floor today at the right moment as much as people have heard it. it has magical powers. as much as i love the rest.

― macropuente (map), Saturday, 13 October 2018 03:54 (five years ago) link

very very hard to choose!

i know ILM will disagree with me but i can't stand "boogie oogie oogie"

― crüt, Saturday, 13 October 2018 04:03 (five years ago) link

*gasps*

― macropuente (map), Saturday, 13 October 2018 04:07 (five years ago) link

i sort of feel that though, it was my ex's favorite and that guy was a douchebag

― macropuente (map), Saturday, 13 October 2018 04:07 (five years ago) link

it was ruined for me working in a retail job where that song played 4x a day and "more more more" played 10x

i never ever got tired of hearing "the groove line" though!!

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

whoops i forgot to vote. pretend there's a vote for the 17-minute "Love Can't Turn Around" here.

― crüt, Sunday, 14 October 2018 00:23 (five years ago) link

For the most part I don't personally see much point in repping for the biggest hit tunes. Sure they're great, but very familiar and if I have them elsewhere their presence on the compilation isn't especially interesting.

tbf a good 80 percent of these tunes are well-known /well-worn crowdpleasers.
