Fave top 10 Disco songs

I have so many disco faves, but it's more interesting if we just limit it to 10. Plus that way, it'll give everybody a chance to list stuff without repeating the same shit. Mine are: (in no special order)
Love To Love You Baby - Donna Summer
Le Freak - Chic
Dancing Queen - Abba
Push, Push, In The Bush - Musique
Your'e A Native New Yorker - Odyssey
More, More, More- Andrea True Connection
Get Off - Foxy
If I Can't Have You - Yvonne Elliman
Star Love - Cheryl Lynn
Dance (Disco Heat) Sylvester
SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."
nammie "What BGZ says I believe. I have the biggest crush on him."

A while ago, I could have named off a ton of disco favorites, but at the moment I am so sick of it. I just can't listen to it anymore. Maybe it's because so many disco classics are just played out right now. Maybe if I heard some obscure track that I haven't heard in while I could re-kindle my love of disco again. lol

I was actually going to start a thread about this very thing the other day. It came to mind because my husband, for some reason or other, had just gotten a hold of some disco tunes and played me (as a joke, and to drive me insane) 10 DIFFERENT VERSIONS of the Close Encounters of the Third Kind theme song that had been done in disco-style back in the 70s. Insanity!! nutty

There are a million Star Wars ones too, and god knows what other tv and/or movie songs.

Damn, lemme try this. My favorites:

10. Mighty Real - Sylvester
9. Heart of Glass - Blondie
8. Night Fever - Bee Gees
7. Love to Love You Baby - Donna Summer
6. Let No Man Put Asunder - First Choice
5. More More More - Andrea True Connection
4. Le Freak - Chic
3. Love Hangover (12" mix) - Diana Ross
2. Don't Leave Me This Way - Thelma Houston

My pick for the best disco record:

1. MacArthur Park Suite - Donna Summer. The whole damn 17-plus minute version. Salty good from begining to end!

There are so many good ones, but those are my favorites (I think...could change in 30 minutes). The women of the genre really kept it as good as it was. There were some choice cuts by the guys, but the best were from the ladies!

Well, I have always hated disco -- especially since I was around at its onset and was always pissed off when (white) people constantly categorized all uptempo black music as disco. In any case, some guilty pleasures are:

Hot Stuff - Donna Summer
To Be Real - Cheryl Lynn
Fly Robin, Fly - Silver Convention
Funky Town - Lipps Inc.
You Should Be Dancin' - Bee Gees
Miss You - Rolling Stones
Don't Leave Me This Way - Thelma Houston
Let's Dance - Bohannon
Ladies Night - Kool & the Gang
Theme From S.W.A.T. - Rhythm Heritage

I think that is about the best I can come up with. I'd be perfectly happy if I never heard another disco song in my life.

Peace,
Scott

Get Off - Foxy
Knock On Wood - Amii Stewart
Groove Line - Heatwave
Disco Nights (Rock Freak) - GQ
Mighty Real - Sylvester
Livin' It Up - Bell and James
Bad Girls - Donna Summer
Shake Your Groove Thing - Peaches and Herb
Funkytown - Lipps, Inc.
Le Freak - Chic

These are in no particular order, I just named 10 of my favorites off the top of my head. I tried to only choose one song per artist. Disco was my first love so I could just keep naming endlessly.

I'm waiting for a clueless person to list a mid-eighties track and say it's disco.

I'll go in the opposite direction and list the two disco songs I absolutely cannot stand:

Ring My Bell - Anita Ward
I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor

All other disco I can tolerate, but those two are like scratching nails on a blackboard to me.
