La musica si muove appena: The ILM ITALO Poll (Results Thread)

cant say for sure but this track may have been my introduction to Italo ~10-11 years ago

The Scratch mix of Happy Station totally eclipsed the original mix at the time. I doubt that's the "official video", though - it looks like the sort of bonkers staging that the weekly German pop TV show Formel Eins would come up with.

Woh-oh-oh!

biggest or smallest surprise of the rollout right here

stay, stay, stay, stay, station!

Whoaaaa double 'Self Control', yeah!

It's no Baila Bolero.

I concur with this statement.

Not sure if our next entry is the biggest Italo hit of all time, but it certainly felt like it at the time...

:D

the biggest italo hit ever is probably correct, originally knew it from this:

(unless you count "i'm ready," whose bassline was used on "whoomp! there it is")

we're lieeving in the open

god what a tune

oh my god i never made the listerine connection lol

tbh the first half of today i can take or leave, really

but the top 5 are all bona-fide essentials imo

We should get to that section then. Starting with:

5 CLIO "Faces" [343 points, 10 votes, 1 first place vote]

what a fantastic multi-layered chorus. Never heard this one before.

(ﾉ*ﾟｰﾟ)ﾉ

that's a big jump in number of points

fay-ay-sess

this was my number one and I was beginning to worry it wouldn't show up, relived that it is well like here

wtf @ that Fun Fun video

Would happily listen to only these 50 songs on a loop forever, so pleased both Self Controls hit high. Clio and Fun Fun are sooo sooo good.

How lucky are we that all this is on YouTube? Imagine having to look through hundreds of record bins just to get to hear this top 50, let alone all the other nominees.

wtf indeed! In a good way, though.

"Stop" is the greatest! I might prefer "Living Up", but they're both so great

Wrong Happy Station for me, that’s the 'scratch version', here’s the original in case you don’t know it: http://youtu.be/28Um3jmQHhI

3 MY MINE "Hypnotic Tango" [379 points, 12 votes]
http://youtu.be/KLBInZxGA34

my favorite italo song

just this morning a non-ilx colleague of mine posted to facebook about an all-employee meeting at his workplace that the GM insisted on this track being both the intro and outro music for

so glad I don't work at a place that requires intro/outro music for meetings

i'd be okay with it if the intro/outro music was only selections from this thread

my 77 thread on this subject

was wondering if this song really had a chance

it was the first track to be nominated iirc

;)

my top 11 songs have already placed. I'm pulling for my #12 though I have serious doubts.

Come on Topo and Roby!

this is the best italo song

Oh man, the tension!

(I love #3 and #2 and they could easily have been my #1 but on that particular day they weren't... will mine be the poll's as well?)

Based on the last four it has to be Mr Flagio surely.

^^ the only one in the top 10 of my ballot that hasn't made it

And the winner is...
