I am glad to see the Commodore's Lady (You bring me up) is present, but where is Graham Bonnet's 1978 no.1 hit Warm Ride (written by the Bee Gees) :confused:

Yeah I thought about that, but it had to cut off some songs.
Disco rocks, it rocked and it STILL rocks.

'Greatest' and 'Disco' should never appear in the same sentence without an appropriate negation.

Oh some of those aren't so bad, Skogs. :)

Of course, <i>Heart of Glass</i> by Blondie is about all that sort of pops out. :)

I can't think of much Blondie, apart from Heart of Glass, that is really disco. Their Rip Her To Shreds is punk, and Rapture is early rap. Overall they are new wave.

Yeah! Most of their stuff is New Wave.
Debbie Harry was kinda mad about being labelled as a Disco artist just because of "Heart of Glass".

I think she once said they originally planned to do Heart of Glass with slower tempo and in the style of reggae, like their Island Of Lost Souls song, but I'm glad they didn't.:D Electric Light Orchestra were another group that were around at the time of disco, but didn't really get into disco that much.

Many singers today has some part of the entire Disco area.
Even Liza Minnelli and Ethel Merman recorded disco albums, remember Ethel Merman's disco album? The-most-controversial disco all of the time.

I was thinking more along the lines of Jamiroqaui's Funk Odyssey CD. :D
