ah shit. I meant to make it a poll thread.

oh well. Discuss! LOL

man I really hate the Tavares version of More Than A Woman. blech

thanks to Quentin Tarantino I can now no longer see the words 'Fly robin Fly - Silver Convention' without immediately hearing Steven Wright's monotone: "You've heard Turn The Beat Around by Vicky-Sue Robinson, Heaven On The Seventh Floor and Le Freak by Chic, Fly Robin Fly by The Silver Connection and now Number Five..."

I always think of Sam Rockwell when I hear 'Got to Give It Up'

Best track? Every single one of them is perfect. Even the ones that people think are questionable in the Disco canon like the Walter Murphy or Johnnie Taylor sound good in this company.

I think you are otm

why punk had to happen

when I think of the vast saddo blokes who buy disco

from the 70s

I'm glad this isn't a poll cause HOW COULD YOU CHOOSE

I am really feeling Lou Rawls...and the SOS band? Take Your Time (Do It Right)? hot damn that kills

Great compilation. In The Bush by Musique is probably my favourite song on here, Patrick Adams was a genius.

In the Bush is great! I'd never heard it before.

"Y.M.C.A." sounded great at the ballpark the other night. It's a really good record.

2.19 Right Back Were We Started From - Maxine Nightingale

this is disco? it feels like cheating if i choose it

2.2 Got To Be Real- Cheryl Lynn

I love a lot of these tracks but this ^ is on another level entirely

I kind of can't stand "I Will Survive" anymore :(

In the Bush is great! I'd never heard it before.

― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl)

He produced a few of my favourite disco songs/albums. Both the Musique albums are great, although a little short.

I think his best work was an album he did under the name Cloud One. This song in particular is quite amazing.

the answer is always funkytown

Is "Got to Give It Up" the 4-minute version or the 11-minute version? It matters.
