i got a question:



why in the hell are THESE songs on a fuckin disco list?

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

There's lots of questionable shit on this. Okay, THIS is Philly soul:

TSOP - MFSB featuring the Three Degrees - 1974

And anyway, this list jumps the shark with its #1 choice, perhaps the most OVERPLAYED disco track ever. And not a very good song at that. I Will Survive

And WTF is YMCA doing on there.

SHOULD HAVE BEEN #1: Hot Stuff - Donna Summer - 1979
[Edited 7/10/06 17:42pm]

What the FUCKKKKK is Lyn Collins' "Think (About It)" doing on that list. Have they ever actually LISTENED to the song? Ain't NOTHING disco about that!
[Edited 7/10/06 17:44pm]

where is machine-there but for the grace of god go i

and

donna summer-macathur park

?

did i just miss those?



nevermind. i just found machine. yay!
[Edited 7/10/06 17:47pm]

how in the fuckity-fuck is "rapper's delight" higher on the list than "good times"?

JasmineFire said:

#46.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Do you think "It's Raining Men" is disco?

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

and why in the hell are both of them on the list!

VoicesCarry said:

that cut's more dance than disco to me....damn, they fuckin shit up left n'right on this list!

To me the LEAST disco track on here has GOT to be "Think (About It)", which is midtempo FUNK. It ain't even a dance track. Lawd.

i think heatwave's boogie nights should be on here if white lines and 1999 are going to be on this list.

JasmineFire said:

i know, right? i'm surprised that it ain't even on the list to begin with.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

mmm-hmmm!

35. Boogie Oogie Oogie - A Taste Of Honey - 1978

The rank is too low. This would've been within Top 15 on my list.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

58. Holiday - Madonna - 1983
86. 1999 - Prince - 1982

These 2 songs actually counts as post-disco. They has some dico elements.

VoicesCarry said:

Disco history can never be completed without the freakin' Village People! They were THE boy band of the disco era.

BTW, Macho Man was waaaayyy better than the overrated YMCA.

TonyVanDam said:

Um, the boy band of the disco era was the BEE GEES lmao!

Anyway, this is not a list of most historical disco tracks, it's a list of the BEST. And no VP track should make that list imho.

VoicesCarry said:

The BEE GEES were a real band that played with real instruments! Disco, Soft Rock, Country, R&B, Soul,....they done it all!

I agree with your opinion to an extent: The Village People were a freakin' joke. And it's a damn shame that NBA basketball fans really don't take the time to listen to the LYRICS!!!

TonyVanDam said:

Boys in a band = boy band. I don't use that term in the pejorative sense since 'Nsync/BSB made it bad to be part of a boy band. They are a boy band just as much as the Supremes are a girl group

Lazy! While "Last Dance" my favorite of hers, it's probably in any top ten! Too many eighties songs that are dance, disco!

These lists are giving me a headache. Thanks, Tony! And the only 100 Greatest List that Born to Be Alive should be on is the list of Greatest Ass Cramps. That song's dreadful. I Will Survive is shit.

21. Last Dance - Donna Summer - 1978

Does anyone else see the real problem with THIS list?

my thoughts...


***a Donna Summer song should be in the Top 10 of any list of the greatest disco songs."Bad Girls" or "Last Dance".

***where the hell is "Native New Yorker" by Odyssey?

***there are several Gloria Gaynor songs on this list,but where is "Anybody Wanna Party?",her best song ever?

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

I have so many disco compilations that feature non--disco songs.It's insane,they should just ask ME to help them compile these things.So many people are confused and have no idea what a disco song really is

TonyVanDam said:

Songs from the 1980s should never have been included on the list. Disco's last year was 1979 and the only song I see from 1980 that should get a "disco pass" would be "Funkytown" by Lipps, Inc.

Also, "I Will Survive" should NOT be number one on the list.

Billie Jean more disco then Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground) and Can You Feel It?

JasmineFire said:

OH MY GOD.

It's good I checked 2 see if anyone else brought this up.

THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD GO I by Machine is the #1 cut of all time.

DAG, JasmineFire... I like U.

Grace Jones` "La vie en rose" & "He`s the greatest dancer" by Sister Sledge should also be on the list...
