Agreed! Donna and her producers (Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte) are NEVER given enough credit for creating some of the most original and cutting-edge dance music ever.Her 1977 hit "I Feel Love" basically started the whole techno music movement.

You mentioned "Now I Need You",I love that song! I think it's a better song than "I Feel Love".The synths sound totally haunting and paranoid.Those songs and others were really ahead of their time.

A substantial part of Marvin Gaye's What Going On??? album is very prophetic. Listen to Mercy Mercy Me..{The Ecology}..then think about all of the talk and blah blah you heard in the 80's and 90's about some of the very thing that Marvin was detailing in this song. Listen to What's Going On? and listen to Marvin when he says..."Brother Brother Brother..there's far too many of you dying..we got to get some loving HERE TODAY" and you could tie that in with all of the black-on-black crimes in the years to follow.

Listen to "Save The Children" then think about all of the talk and all of the stuff that's been happening with children being murdered senselessly,molestered, used for pornography and prostitution. Also the educational system that leave the children ill-prepared for life comes to mind.

Also, when I think about the possible war with Iraq along with the MANY MANY people who are unemployed and can't find work in the economy{some are now on the streets}, I can hear Marvin saying..."bills piled up sky high...send that BOY OFF TO DIE...make me holla. the way THEY do my life" on Make Me Wanna Holler".

the whole album was classic i agree with u. I can listen 2 it str8 non stop till it goes off...

Well, i always felt the production on IIWYG 4m SOTT 2b quite ahead of it's time. I can hear early nineties R&b in it.

everything that Kraftwerk recorded
in the 70´s.
stuff like "the Robots","Trance-europe express"
& "Man-machine" was way ahead of it´s time.
Sly & the Family Stone-"Sing a simple song".
it´s from 1969 but it´s totally groundbreaking.

Donna Summer - I Feel Love (Patrick Cowley Mix)
The Human League - Heart Like A Wheel

Agree with Kraftwerk too.

I'd like to say W.I.T., Ladytron, Ganymede & Miss Kittin, but we'll have to see what 2003 shapes up like and see if they're all just a flash in the pan or not (I would hope not!)

Oooo, and Bobby O' productions. - As for Giorgio Moroder:

I never understood why "Once Upon A Time..." wasn't a huge hit. I think that's the kind of album that has great standout songs but really can't be broken up. You almost have to hear the thing in its enirity. "Now I Need You", "Say Something Nice", "Working The Midnight Shift" and "If You Got It Flaunt It" could have been huge hits. I don't understand using "Rumour Has It" (which is awesome) and "I Love You"(one of the weakest song but on a superb album) both as singles considering they were on the same side. They should have used something from the tencho section.
