DISCO anyone?

Still listen to it when I can!

Heatwave's "Always & Forever" is a staple for me of the Disco era. I was married then & danced a many nights to it with my new bride!

I dig disco, always have. My favorite disco track is probably Manhattan Skyline from David Shire off of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
 
Disco . . . why not?

Don't think I ever get tired of hearing "Car Wash" :thmbsp:

I also like a lot of the earlier, "funky" disco stuff.

I have the Walter Murphy album " A Fifth of Beethoven " and it is quite excellant . I even bought the album a second time just to get a good recording for CD-R .
 
Love it.

Chic is fantastic, Nile Rodgers a genius

Love the obscene ones like "(Push Push) In the Bush" by Musique

"Let's All Chant," awesome, Michael Zager Band

"Knock on Wood," Amii Stewart

"Funkytown," Lipps Inc.

"Car Wash" by Rose Royce of course, one of the greatest songs of all time

"Boogie Oogie Oogie" by A Taste of Honey

The list goes on....

Disco

Dude,
I vote for Disco to come back, at least it was real music and was out
during a great time to be alive, but the Rock and Roll was also slammin
and was great. But thoes were the days.
:banana::music::music:
 
I never did like disco,I was more into distortion.lol.
Now that I am older,and have got back into vinyl I'm open to more genres of music.
I do like Thelma Houston/Any Way you like it.
KC and The Sunshine band is alright.
I used to hate the Bee Gees disco era,but I can live with it now.
 
There are only a few disco pieces that get rotation into my playlist, but they're among my favorite bits to listen to, including Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff", KC & the Sunshine Bands' "Boogie Shoes", Lipps, Inc.'s "Funkytown", Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" (much prefer it with the Aborigine chant from "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert"), and a few others.

I don't hate or avoid any genre. There's something truly special in all of them, while 99% of the bulk of any genre is genuine uninspired crap. I sift through thousands of pieces in a genre and end up with only 10-12 that get into a permanent playlist. Out of about 200,000 pieces I have, maybe 1,000 get into regular rotation. Disco's no different.
 
the girls really dug it, so it helped if you can disco dance.
the high school mantra was "Saturday night beaver...fetch it"
I hated it and can't dance very well so I REALLY had to work for my dates.
 
It was big when I was a little kid, so how could I not have fond memories of disco? I had my fifth birthday party at a discotheque in Chicago, 1975.

Yea, I liked KC and the sunshine band when I was little, but the stuff I still enjoy might be considered more funk than disco.

Check out the keytar solo at 2:35.

I still enjoy the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack quite a bit, and Michael Jackson's Off the Wall is pretty damn good.

I enjoyed making fun of it back in the 70's, but I'll admit to really liking it now :)

+2 on that. It's amazing how much peer pressure dictates early taste. I enjoy Donna Summer in particular now, especially her Moroder collaborations.

I've been playing this Amanda Lear disco LP that I picked up a couple of months ago pretty regularly. Some of the 70's disco isn't bad actually. My brother is into this stuff bigtime so I'm always on the lookout for him.

I have an Amanda Lear picture in my bedroom, bought it in Germany and I did not know anybody here would know her.:yes:
 
Just a few moments ago I was listening to the Bee Gees " Saturday Night Fever" on my elcaset, my favorite song is "Heaven must be missing an angel" from Tavares, I listen to disco on Studio 54 from XM-SIRIUS, where I work nobody knows disco so I have to teach them about that wonderful era.:smoke:
