Respect is due to the Original Chicago Pioneers...
Although I love my Italian tracks, I have voted U.S. as the Chicago Producers were the 'True Pioneers' of the house sound, and technically paved the way for the Italians. Ed

Same old tracks always get quoted when it comes to Italian floor fillers - all of them properly caned left right and centre - ah well, horses for courses.
U.S. all the way :O)

But would there have been Italian House though? Where actually did the Italian sound come from? US House or Italo Disco? You can then argue the origins of Disco of course (don't forget Giorgio Moroder in there), but that would be getting a bit a bit daft.pauly p said:I think he was saying that without US house, there would have been no UK house for you to prefer
Although I've got to add (the same as Moonie said) there wasn't really a dispute over the origins of House per se in the first place
That doesn't make them bad tracks though. Their only crime was they were popular, and that's because they were erm...good!brixtonite said:
I personally think there's a bit of snobbery going on here. Italian music seems to be seen as cheesy, US as a little bit cooler. Surely this poll isn't about which country is now the coolest to be into (or where house music came from!), surely it's about which old skool club music is the best.
Let's be honest here how many people's best memories from nights out are of dancing arms in the air to the likes SLD, JJ Tribute, 4 For Money etc? They may seem overplayed now but these records certainly moulded my youth and I'd guess a large majority of other peoples. Yes Italian music does have it's carazee cheese, but don't let that taint the brilliance of their classics.
Don't get me wrong, whilst I think there are some amazing US records, I personally think the Italians edge it just on pure energy. That's regardless of whether they were, oddly enough, mostly sampling US songs. That just happens to be where the majority of accapellas / samples were. If Russian folk music had stuck accapella's on all their releases, you could bet your arse the Italian's would have sampled it to buggery (look at the diversity of sampling Janis Joplin).
Voted US House on this on.....
Just prefer it, always have done.
Think Frankie Bones, Ralphie Dee, Tommy Musto.... that was always my preference.....House with a harder and darker edge.
I disagree with Jonno's comments about Snobbery...... I don't think that comes into it ....you either like something or you don't ..simple. But I agree that most Ital stuff is cheesy....but that's what it was meant to be.... fun, happy music........ I am just a miserable fucker who prefered darker music

I very much doubt anyone will admit to snobbery, it's still there though, it's human nature, everyone likes to think of themselves in an exclusive club. And therefore to say it doesn't effect people's judgement, I don't think, would be the whole truth.Tim Acid said:

Somtimes that is what makes me hate Italian house.....toooooo in ur face-u-will-be-happy-and-jump-around-bang-bang-bang.....

I like the subtle approach tbh. I can appreciate any dance music. It doesn't mean it all arrouses any passion in me......even the most energetic of Italian tracks.
U.S. without a doubt , just check out the labels , the producers , the classics ! Okay there were some stormin italien tracks..but lets get it into perspective..A few Classic italian tracks there are , but in comparison theres a wealth of American produced riches...Italian rocks..U.S. Rules...
peeps who are members on OSA n italiandance have obviously noticed the thread
