200. Machine - There But for the Grace of God Go I
147 points / 2 votes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGBDAxCDLs4

Oops, sorry for the embed. But it's OK for one of the best disco tracks EVER.

wow. stoked for this

I allllmost voted for that, but ended up leaning off of some of the really aggressively disco ones this time around. I clearly made the wrong choice.

But "There But for the Grace" is easily one of my top 100 songs ever.

the very idea that there are 199 songs better than "there but for the grace of god"!

Loved this back when I thought everything August Darnell touched is genius. Now I'm mostly ok with just hyping up Dr. Buzzard.

Also yeah, top 200 countdown is appropriate for this poll.

Good start to the list.

I like this kind of party! Let the rollout begin. Thanks ArchCarrier.

Fabulous track.

199. James Brown - Super Bad

Are you kidding me? Ridiculously pitiful showing for an alltime classic.

This is going to be a groovy blood bath.

I'll do the Spotify playlist again:

198. Vicki Sue Robinson - Turn the Beat Around
148 points / 2 votes
https://youtu.be/devNnEA0AdU

how did the points allocation work?

How many ballots?

Oh sorry, 19

xp

100 for #1, down to 1 point for #100.

Unranked tracks got the average of the remaining points on a ballot.

As I said in the albums poll, it's basically impossible to rank James Brown alongside anything else. He just works in a different way. Like a subgenre or a subart even. Better yet supraart!

I limited myself to the funk/soul stuff, but There But For The Grace Of God Go I is one of the greatest songs in existence

197. Baby Huey - Listen to Me
149 points / 3 votes
https://youtu.be/YJXMBxZgznY

I kind of wish this poll had come before the disco one.

I'm proud to be one of the 3 Baby Huey voters. What a song.

me too but i woulda nominated 2 others if I hadnt been unwell to nominate. Gutted my fave Mandrill song (Ape Is High) wasn#t nominated.

How many songs revealed each day?

Not sure yet, we'll see how far we get today.

(Are there any Curl experts in here? I'd like to automate my posts so that I don't have to get back to my PC every 20 minutes, but I can't get the cookies to work.)

195 (TIE). Al Green - Sha-La-La (Make Me Happy)
150 points / 3 votes
https://youtu.be/PO6Jt4M8ebs

Now that's what I call clavinet! (re: Outa-Space)

Sha-La-La is amazing cause it does all those terrible old timey things like a la la chorus and a novelty percussion and yet Green and Mitchell make it work

193 (TIE). Teddy Pendergrass - I Don't Love You Anymore
151 points / 3 votes

193 (TIE). The Dramatics - In the Rain
151 points / 3 votes
https://youtu.be/iJQNedn8k4Q

Voted for both of these beautiful songs

I Don't Love You Anymore TOO LOW anywhere outside the top 5.

192. Aaron Neville - Hercules
152 points / 3 votes
https://youtu.be/bySudtwSwnY

I've always loved this instrumental cover of "In The Rain"

https://youtu.be/UmNveARlZVY

Hercules is haunting.

It's an awesome driving song

All things considered my favorite Toussaint song.

189 (TIE). Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive
154 points / 2 votes
https://youtu.be/oQwNN-0AgWc

That O'Jays song is so great, glad someone else helped me to get it into the top 200.

"Stayin' Alive" is great as well but feels out of place in this poll.

I could do without "Stayin' Alive" in both this and the disco-only poll.

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

187 (TIE). Jackson Sisters - I Believe in Miracles
154 points / 3 votes
https://youtu.be/7MYdr8Fkah0

187 (TIE). Funkadelic - I'll Bet You
154 points / 3 votes
https://youtu.be/ORm8Fa3q4Ro

Whoa, that Jacksons Sisters track rocks! I hadn't noticed it during the nominations process because I confused it with "You Sexy Thing" :)

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

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

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.

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

xp

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

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.

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

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.

are we posting ballots here?

Sure, go ahead!

Thanks ArchCarrier, great poll and roll out.

Don't know why I'm thinking of this now, but I also wish I'd voted for "The Closer I Get to You" by Roberta Flack & Donnie Hathaway.

I had 66/100 on my ballot place in the top 200 so I'm pretty pleased with the results. Disappointed there weren't more votes for my #2 (the Pointer Sisters cover is fab but it's not the Meters).

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.

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply before that the 80s were all MJ and Prince, just that I was worried that the others might get significantly crowded out in such a poll.

The complete final results differ from the rollout...

Oh, you're right. I must have saved an earlier version. Here's the right one:

Wow, only one song got more than one #1 vote, and it finished outside the top 25.

I'd love to see the top 200 broken down by year.

Absolutely Epic poll ArchCarrier. I like the 50 per day.

I'll post my ballot later but one thing I can say: more people need to listen to Get Up Get Into It Get Involved by James Brown and In Time by Sly.

Wow, I love Freda Payne and Band of Gold too, but I had no reason to believe it would come in at no 6.

Wow, I missed most of the whole top 50.

I've done a year-by-year breakdown for the Top 100:

1970 15
1971 15
1972 19
1973 14
1974 8
1975 6
1976 4
1977 5
1978 5
1979 9

That makes 71 for the first half of the decade, and 29 for the second half.

Thanks, ArchCarrier. This was fun. As mentioned on one of the other threads, I was mega-busy during the nominations and voting period so my ballot was thrown together at the last minute with tons of write-ins… and even then I completely forgot MJ's "Ain't No Sunshine" and The Commodores' "Sail On", two of my all-time favourite singles. These should have been in my top 3.

Here's my ballot (largely disco-free given we'd already done that poll).

^oh yeah, and I had a one-artist rule, with exceptions made for The Stylistics, The Chi-Lites, The O'Jays and the Undisputed Truth

That makes 71 for the first half of the decade, and 29 for the second half.

Pretty much the inverse on my ballot.

One more vote for the 80s next. A 60s poll would have far fewer opportunities for reappraisals and rediscoveries.

Great poll, thanks ArchCarrier! Surprises all the way through.

Here's my ballot, only the top 25 is ranked. Didn't limit by artist but I did avoid voting for disco giving that most of my favourites made the disco poll and it allowed me to bump a few things I thought might need the extra points:

OK, I'm cool with an 80s poll. But how to define the boundaries? Is Italo allowed? Who can come up with a good definition?

Also, for this poll we had 1 week nominating, 2 weeks voting/campaigning, 1 week rollout. Was this OK for all of you?

Maybe do it as an 80s R&B poll? There was an Italo poll not so long ago.

Yeah, just call it R&B and let anyone nominate anything. The timetable seems ok to me.

Think an 80s poll would be great, guess I sort of grew up with lots of 80s R&B, but rarely hear about any of it beside Prince, Michael Jackson and a few hits like I Feel For You. Would be really good to have something to dig into from the mid 80s which often seems like a bit of a desert.

mike t-diva, do you have a list of each track with its year? I want to start filing these track poll winners for a thing.

I only did the top 100 - here it is - but you can easily get the other dates by pasting the tracks into the Discogs search box, and digging into what comes up; it seldom takes long.

Since you asked for it...

Wanna Be POLLIN' Somethin' ~~~ It's the ILM 80's R&B TRACKS POLL! ~~~

i didn't manage to vote -- 'september' and 'i'll be around' might have been slightly higher -- but listening to the list makes me wonder if this was . . . the best music

Not sure where to put this so one place will be this thread:
