The Ultimate Women's Album - Side 2 Track 4 Vote - Round 3

[Flex]

Also engaging in principled abstentionism at this point in the process.

actually, i take that back, i'm voting for i feel love. it's not really something i'd pick for an ultimate women's album since most of its best qualities really belong to Giorgio Moroder, but when I'm in the right mood I like a bit of disco and this is a good one - and it certainly influenced a bunch of other stuff that i like quite a bit (although its most immediate influence, spawning Hi-NRG, is much less my bag).

I remember reading about either a proposal or perhaps a place that actually employs this, but one of the options on the ballot is always none of the above, and if that gains a plurality, a new election is called and all the candidates have to be replaced. Pretty sure most of the elections I've either voted in or skipped, I would have taken advantage of that option.

Jello mentioned this on one of his old spoken word albums.

That's probably where I came across it.

I voted for Joni. I Feel Love looks made for me on paper but I never really warmed to the tune. BYT carries a good message and is a likeable enough melody.

Did I wander onto a disco board without realizing it?

IMCT has always been a disco board. Pay attention!

I thought it was a KISS board.

In the future I'll take my punk discussions to the Kool and the Gang site as the good lord intended.

I nominated one song but really like the other. What to do, what to do?

Write in "Funky Town."

Not many cool, spiky covers of Joni, I note.

And don't think we didn't dance to records by the Fifth Dimension in the disco sphere like Kublai Khan...

As someone who only has a cursory knowledge of disco, "I Feel Love" feels foreign. It's certainly not a pop song, there is too much space. Refrains come and go seemingly at random. I really wish it was 4am and I was high off my ass on coke and this song would be perfect. Reminds of that Beach Boys disco song, but better. I guess real disco songs are long as shit and just meandering for coke heads.

I Feel Love. The only choice for me.

It's still got that mad freshness that truly original songs always carry, regardless of their imitators. The Pistols singles came out in the same year, and their revolution was in the lyrics and presentational attack - there was nothing new in the music. I Feel Love is brilliantly new and you can hear that.
