FFS 50-OPTION POLLS SUCK

FFS 50-OPTION POLLS SUCK

― Twisted Hipster (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 28 November 2009 15:29 (14 minutes ago)

what actually suck is the limit of 50 options. so I must do this kind of poll 3 times.

"must"

what actualy suck is that i haven't heard most of these

I've got the 15 vol verzh and I can't remember what half of them sound like.

Why is "It's Over" listed twice?

I agree that 50 option polls are a bit of a waste, especially in a poll like this where maybe 20 people will vote.

I also haven't heard most of these! (which does suck)

The later one is shorter.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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

uhm, okay..

I just remembered that I forgot to vote. It's either Geraldine Hunt - Can't Fake The Feeling or First Choice - Let No Man Put Asunder.

Weird, I never even saw this poll.

I have played most of the good stuff on this list in public(not much of a feat, nothing on the list is that rare/obscure) and the one record I could always count on moving a floor was Que Tal America by Two Man Sound. It didn't matter where you were or what was being played, that record filled the floor every time.

I never saw this, either, and I actually own a copy of the original vinyl box set. Picking one song would have been really, really hard.

I voted for ESP. The system works!

Do this poll over.

poor turn out. i never saw this before. can we do it again?

i'll do the next volumes. do you think the I should reduce the number of options?

for those who didn't have the chance to participate, please just state your pick. thanks.

Man this thread just makes me feel bad about how nothing short of embarrassingly few of these I know.

EDB, everytime I see your name it makes me think you're Daniel Bell.

D Train - You're The One For Me
Raw Silk - Do It To The Music
Sparque - Let's Go Dancing
Sharon Redd - Can You Handle It
Jimmy Bo Horne - Spank
Positive Force - We Got The Funk
Candido - Jingo
Martin Circus - Disco Circus
D Train - Keep On
T-Connection - At Midnight
Fat Larry's Band - Act Like You Know

don't these (great) tracks predate the House Sound of Chicago? many are associated w/larry levan and the paradise garage and yeah, I know there's a connection but how about another poll based on those profile records comps that came out around 87-88 titled IIRC gotta have house music. I would like to vote for "it's all right" by blaze or possibly another liz torres track I can't recall the title of.

but if you haven't heard the nine-minute francois kevorkian mix of 'can you handle it' by sharon redd -- get to work.

They were a separate volume in the comp and were meant to represent influences.

Yeah, I was thinking a poll ought to be done with just the first two discs.
