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

wow. stoked for this
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 11 April 2017 13:14 (eight years ago)
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.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Tuesday, 11 April 2017 13:15 (eight years ago)
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.
― gospodin simmel, Tuesday, 11 April 2017 13:23 (eight years ago)
Also yeah, top 200 countdown is appropriate for this poll.

Good start to the list.

how did the points allocation work?
― Choco Blavatsky (seandalai), Tuesday, 11 April 2017 13:59 (eight years ago)
How many ballots?
― kornrulez6969, Tuesday, 11 April 2017 14:03 (eight years ago)
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.
― ArchCarrier, Tuesday, 11 April 2017 14:03 (eight years ago)
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!
― gospodin simmel, Tuesday, 11 April 2017 14:05 (eight years ago)
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

I'm proud to be one of the 3 Baby Huey voters. What a song.
― kornrulez6969, Tuesday, 11 April 2017 14:16 (eight years ago)
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.

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

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.
― ArchCarrier, Tuesday, 11 April 2017 16:33 (eight years ago)
I could do without "Stayin' Alive" in both this and the disco-only poll.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Tuesday, 11 April 2017 16:35 (eight years ago)
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

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?
― ArchCarrier, Friday, 14 April 2017 20:58 (eight years ago)
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 (eight years ago)
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 (eight years ago)
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 (eight years ago)
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 (eight years ago)
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 (eight years ago)
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 (eight years ago)
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.

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.

Two regrets: I should have voted for "If I Can't Have You," and I should have split this up as follows: top 25 ranked, next 25 get 50 points each, final 50 get 32 points each. There's quite a difference in how I feel about songs within that #26-100 group.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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?
― ArchCarrier, Saturday, 15 April 2017 18:53 (eight years ago)
Maybe do it as an 80s R&B poll? There was an Italo poll not so long ago.
― mike t-diva, Saturday, 15 April 2017 19:07 (eight years 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.

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
