Sister Sledge - We Are Family - best track

"Lost in Music." Then "We Are Family." Then "He's The Greatest Dancer." Then the rest.

what about thinking of you?

they're playing live here in 2 weeks with Holy Ghost djing o_0

"Thinking Of You" is probably number four. But this is really a maxi-single with five b-sides.

holy fuck jaxon!

Lost In Music

"Lost in Music." I may be in the minority in preferring the 1984 remix.

I'm w/ you on that 84 remix.

Also, "You're A Friend To Me" is pretty good.

"We Are Family" = an absolute necessity to have if you are ever DJing a wedding (I learned this the hard way).

He's The Greatest Dancer has so many killer lines - "The place was so boring / Filled with out-of-towners touring", "Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci", "He looks like a still"!!

(Pretty Baby is by far the Sister Sledge song I listen to the most, tho)

he's the greatest dancer.

also otm about pretty baby. one of my favourite songs of all time.

thinking of you

ya, well, put it in an email next time.

Hm, no votes for title track (yet).

"Lost In Music" for me.

greatest dancer def

^^ should be your breakdancer name.

oh my fucking god people why don't I have any sister sledge on my ipod yet?

the betty botox edit of "lost in music" with jesse jackson over the intro is so great.

The correct answer is found in the subject header.

i dont know how anyone can bear to listen to that song any more
ruined by one million movie trailers

ya for real

Pretty Baby is by far the Sister Sledge song I listen to the most, tho

Yes.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

the chic rmx of "lost in music" might be my personal favorite, but i have a soft spot for "we are family" as it was the pittsburgh pirates 1979 anthem when they won the world series and as such has a special place in pittsburgh.

"Thinking of You", personal reasons. Also voted for "Lost in Music" already on a Fall poll few days ago. Everyone OTM on "Pretty Baby", HEAVENLY ORGASMIC track.

I am delighted that there is this kind of multiple agreement on Pretty Baby! And it wasn't even a single! Hey, where were you guys when I first got on ILM in 2004? ;)

Lost in Music is awesome. I always enjoy Sister Sledge videos, with the tall ungainly bird at the back always out of time and step with the others.

Why did the Fall cover it? Love Sister Sledge, hate the Fall. I remember reading a Mark E Smith interview conducted in the back of a taxi, where the driver turned out, slightly implausibly, to be a fan of both. It went like this:
Driver: (praise for the Fall's cover of Lost in Music)
Smith: (silence)
Driver: "Sister Sledge, yeah, I had them in the back of my cab once. Four black ladies wasn't it?"
Smith: "Four black ladies, is that a fact? Thanks a fooking bunch for the information mate."

i think you'll find many fans of both.

i don't think i've ever heard Pretty Baby!

you must

LOL at MES quote!

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

without love
there's no reason to live
without you
what would i do with the love i give?

i'm thinking of you
and the things you do to me
that makes me love you
now i'm living in ecstasy

:D

ha picked this up today ('greatest dancer' is my tenuous pick)

What if I took you to the edge?
What if I pushed you off a ledge?
What if I scratched all your Sister Sledge?
What if I made you cry?
What if I tell you lies?
Would you still love me?

One More Time (3:07) 0

Jesus, had I seen this one, this would not have happened.

Like, seriously, I would trade in every other song the Chic organization ever did if it meant I could keep "One More Time."

totally addicted to the Revenge Rework of "Lost In Music"

UH HUH...

I want to know how chic recorded those backing vocals on Somebody Loves Me, lush.

Would have been tempted by Easier to Love but Thinking of You is undeniable. Took the album to record club the other night:

Love the Dimitri from Paris remixes that are on the Chic boxset. Especially the mix of Lost in Music. Nails it so hard.

I could listen to the guitar lick on 'Thinking Of You' forever..

Is there a thread for the very best Chic-related tracks? Carly Simon's 'Why' is a recent (re)discovery for me too.

Reach Your Peak followed by Pretty Baby is as good as anything I've ever heard, not that that's on this album
