I'm open to suggestions to add to the list.
Also, can anyone tell me who sung "Disco Inferno", I'm having a memory blank at the moment.

I voted for Disco Inferno by The Trammps.  I love that film clip too.

Stayin Alive - Bee Gees

I honestly don't have one favourite but I can definitely add to your list....warning that it could be a mighty long one  ;D ;)

Dont Stop Till You Get Enough -Michael Jackson

'Machoman' - Village people

I voted 'Other'.  Most of the ones listed are NOT among my favorites (although the Michael Jackson/Jacksons songs are decent, as well as the Trammps)

Some of my Disco favorites:
Shake Your Groove Thing - Peaches and Herb
Boogie Nights - Heatwave
Le Freak - Chic
Get Off - Foxy
I'm Your Boogie Man - KC and the Sunshine Band
Working Day and Night - Michael Jackson

There's others.  Even though Disco wasn't my favorite genre overall, there were some excellent Disco songs.   8)

Don't Leave Me This Way by Thelma Houston

Tanya

I like "On The Radio" by Donna Summer and "Everlasting Love" by ?? (I'm not sure who was the original) and "Turn The Beat Around"

Stayin Alive - Bee Gees

"Everlasting Love" by ?? (I'm not sure who was the original)


You're probably thinking of the Carl Carlton 1974 version, although the original was Robert Knight in 1967  :)

(Unless you're thinking of An Everlasting Love by Andy Gibb in 1978)

Wasn't there a disco song called "Double Dutch Bus"??

I can only remember the name, not the song.

All these songs brings to mind the memory of me and my school friends and cousins at our house parties. We switch off the lights, wrap colour papers round torchlights and wave them around like makeshift strobes and wallah, our own little makeshift disco dancefloor.

If you don't mind a lurker commenting...how about rock songs, or at least songs from rock artists with a disco beat?  "Miss You" by the Rolling Stones IMO is a great song with a "Four on the Floor" drum beat, and "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" by Rod Stewart is IMO pretty "discoish", and one I always liked.

Boogie Oogie Oogie
Don't leave me this way
Shake your bootie

other: 

Boogie Woogie Dancin' Shoes - Claudja Barry

Other:

        'Shadow Dancing' by Andy Gibb  8)

I chose More Than a Woman by the Bee Gees, although I also like Tavares' version of that song too.  A close runner up would be Rock Your Baby by George McRae.

I picked Other. I'm not sure what my fave disco song is, but I know it's not those 'cause I can think of examples I like more than all the listed ones, like "Don't Leave Me This Way" and "I Feel Love"

Warm Ride - Graham Bonnet
I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor
Make Love To Me - Kelly Marie
Good Times - Chic
Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now - McFadden And Whitheead

Pretty much anything from ABBA and YMCA by the Village Men are my favorite disco songs.

burn baby burn Red Guy and L now

Not many remember this one.  It's not my only favorite, but one of my favorites for sure:

Whenever it was played at those college dance parties I frequented, it made me so happy  :D

Gotta keep on hearing funky music

I don't know if you would describe the group Kleer as disco, they're more like funk but to each his own.

c6f6BOKXXxg

This is more 80s Post-Disco, but I just love this song.

I hated disco but I did have favourites. Here are some of the better (at least in my book) choices:

Gimme Gimme Gimme - Abba
Boogie Wonderland - Earth Wind And Fire/Emotions
Footloose - Kenny Loggins
Let's Hear It For The Boy - Deniece Williams
Automatic- Pointer Sisters
'What Are You Doing Tonight? - Tomas Ledin (although he was predominantly a rocker).

IMO Disco was often a secondary genre, mixing with other genres such as funk, rock, jazz, pop, etc.  Not everyone agrees on that though.  I have a couple playlists I call "Funky Disco" filled with songs such as this one.  8)

You're right, I guess you would call the genre "funky disco" and that lasted a bit into the early 1980's.

Maybe that's why I'm having so much trouble trying to pick disco songs, because there's not very many  songs you can just call disco.

disco is just a genre of music.

and I am not good with  genres

Probably an unlisted Donna Summer song, but I chose Disco Inferno because I don't like choosing "other" in polls if I can help it, plus Disco Inferno is pretty awesome.

yeah!    burn baby burn          there are a couple of Village people songs I like on the list too
