Continuing with the disco genre, here's one of those tracks which I thoroughly enjoyed (but never admitted so to my circle of peers).

Just make sure you've got your cane and an energy drink: this is seven and a half minutes of boogie –

The Spinners (aka Detroit Spinners; Motown Spinners), "the Rubberband Man" (1976)

Damn. This is embarrassing. George Michael is considered more valuable to music than the mighty The Spinners? Or is he more popular? Was he cuter? Sold more records? Is this about art or history or popularity or influence (clearly the Philadelphia group influenced the younger Brit) or filthy lucre? Or is this yet another manifestation of 's ruling ethos: ?

You wouldn't HAVE without artists. Period.

Someone needs to start voting for for the or "Fame" Needs to Turn to "Shame."

(Were I an actual voter I'd probably have to consider things like broader importance, influence, etc – but I'm not, so this is just who I listen to the most)
