Sister Sledge, "One More Time"

Eric H., Thursday, 16 August 2012 18:05 (thirteen years ago)

My Feet Keep Dancing, which is a glittering skyscraper an inch higher than I'm Coming Out, which is in turn an inch higher than I Want Your Love.

Ismael Klata, Thursday, 16 August 2012 18:09 (thirteen years ago)

if the '84 remix of "Lost in Music" had been included, I'd have voted for it.

a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 16 August 2012 18:34 (thirteen years ago)

Pretty sure my vote will end up going to "Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah."

Cong rat ululations (seandalai), Thursday, 16 August 2012 19:41 (thirteen years ago)

oh fuck no way

wd struggle to boil this down to 10

at the moment i am massively into "At Last I Am Free" but over "I Want Your Love" or "Greatest Dancer" or "Upside Down" or "Why" - jesus the 12inch of "Why"....- or etc or etc i mean come the fuck on

just one little Tayto (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 16 August 2012 20:06 (thirteen years ago)

"I Want Your Love"

for the chuckin!

mr.raffles, Thursday, 16 August 2012 20:16 (thirteen years ago)

"Upside Down" is the best here, though there are several great ones.

justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Thursday, 16 August 2012 20:34 (thirteen years ago)

sending a bit of love to "sorcerer" itp

turtwig greenturty (Matt P), Thursday, 16 August 2012 20:35 (thirteen years ago)

ok i short-circuited at the last second and went for "saturday" instead

Yowsah, this is difficult.

Thanks for posting that vid - interesting!

Kent Burt, Sunday, 19 August 2012 21:32 (thirteen years ago)

Hey Rev, remember when you didn't like Chic?

Why I don't "get" Chic

Fine Toothcomb (sonofstan), Sunday, 19 August 2012 21:41 (thirteen years ago)

this is hard, but i chose "Good Times" because, well, it is the one that i fell in love with first.

if Nile Rodgers mix of "Lost in Music" were on here, i'd have chosen that. that mix is obscene.

for reasons of sass (the table is the table), Sunday, 19 August 2012 21:44 (thirteen years ago)

chose savoir faire bc there is nothing else quite like it on earth

this poll!

hipsters in black metal drag- next, on burzum buddies (Hunt3r), Monday, 20 August 2012 00:02 (thirteen years ago)

or "Why" - jesus the 12inch of "Why"....

oh wait shit is this the 12" or not? I may have misvoted if it isn't. Because the 12" is one of the three greatest records in the history of sound recording, but some of the other tracks here are potentially better than the album vers.

ʘ (sic), Monday, 20 August 2012 00:14 (thirteen years ago)

12" version is on the box.

Andy K, Monday, 20 August 2012 01:59 (thirteen years ago)

woo

ʘ (sic), Monday, 20 August 2012 02:38 (thirteen years ago)

Think I might have to go for Everybody Dance, that bassline is unbeatable. Wasn't My Old Piano a single? Might have gone for that if it was listed.

My two favourite Chic related songs would be Sister Sledge's Pretty Baby and 26 by Chic neither were singles, surprisingly.

Kitchen Person, Monday, 20 August 2012 03:40 (thirteen years ago)

decided "At Last I Am Free" deserved an acknowledment

just one little Tayto (Noodle Vague), Monday, 20 August 2012 05:45 (thirteen years ago)

"My Forbidden Lover" is my favorite of the bunch.

โตเกียวเหมียวเหมียว aka Italo Night at Some Gay Club (Mount Cleaners), Monday, 20 August 2012 05:55 (thirteen years ago)

Voted "Why", assuming it's the 12-inch version. "My Old Piano" is a notable omission, although I wouldn't have voted for it. Nearly went for "Good Times" or "Spacer". Good to see some support for the 1984 remix of "Lost In Music" - LOVE that.

mike t-diva, Monday, 20 August 2012 09:04 (thirteen years ago)

first one to mention (and publicly vote for) Thinking Of You

gospodin simmel, Monday, 20 August 2012 14:06 (thirteen years ago)

Just voted that one!

dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Monday, 20 August 2012 14:09 (thirteen years ago)

"You Are Beautiful" needs more love - I grin every time I hear the Clark Gable line. I keep forgetting that "Pretty Baby" wasn't a single - it keeps popping up in all sorts of odd places (heard it a month ago in Vienna being played in a clothing store, right after "Good Life").

But yeah, impossible - "My Feet Keep Dancing"/"Why"/"I Want Your Love" and the big singles, yeesh.

i can't kick this feelin when it hits

turtwig greenturty (Matt P), Friday, 24 August 2012 00:03 (thirteen years ago)

Sister Sledge-Lost In Music 0

because everyone was sure it would win?

gospodin simmel, Friday, 24 August 2012 00:04 (thirteen years ago)

bcz it's not the 1984

itt: i forgot that he yells at a butt (sic), Friday, 24 August 2012 00:18 (thirteen years ago)

I almost voted for "Lost In Music," but in the end went with "I Want Your Love." Now I feel bad.

Kent Burt, Friday, 24 August 2012 00:44 (thirteen years ago)

i love the 'doo doo doo doo' hook on "Everybody Dance" so much

some dude, Friday, 24 August 2012 01:03 (thirteen years ago)

"High Society" easily the best song to not get a vote.

Andy K, Friday, 24 August 2012 01:14 (thirteen years ago)

Wish I'd given Saturday a vote, it looks lonely. The middle section is so good -- the double snare hit that splits "if you left it -- up to me" is one of my favorite single moments in any song.

What do you people think of the Dimitri remixes?

misty sensorium (Plasmon), Friday, 24 August 2012 05:34 (thirteen years ago)

seven months pass...

What’s everyone’s vote for best track not on the Box Set?
