laughedatbytime Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I like a number of disco hits from the 70s. Here's a short list off the top of my head in no particular order except the last one which I came to love waaay after the fact. Lowdown (But I feel it's more disco adjacent than died in the wool disco. Basically a masterpiece.)Dancing Queen (ABBA decides to go disco and ends up writing a song that symbolizes the genre for eternity.)Stayin' Alive (And really a bunch of others by the Bee Gees. They were titans of the form.)Disco Inferno (Unbeatable rhythmic hook, that awesome chorus with horns, and some kick-ass guitar solo licks at the end - in a disco song)More, More, More (A paean to sexed up and coked up disco excess and it's also the origin of that great "Steal My Sunshine" sample.) And my favorite... If I Can't Have You (just the best) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZVUzho-nok I wouldn't call Dancing Queen disco. Summer Night City, Voulez Boys and Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! wouod certainly qualify. Well. Since i posted that song earlier in this thread. I disagree. What a kick ass song. I cant think of any other songs that start with the chorus as the opening line?Cecilia, Simon and Garfunkel?Carry On My Wayward Son by Kansas Well done At this rate the topic could be a thread.Or a poll, if hiwater stops by. :outtahere: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushFanForever Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I discovered this disco song from viewing a documentary on the band Toto. This was co-written by Cheryl Lynn, David Paich of Toto, and David Foster. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLUCCewe_4c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
