Is it even possible to get together such a list?

I don't remember too, too many Disco music fans out there.

Correct me if I'm wrong!!! :D

We are thinking-up this idea for a special Renegade Retro Show in the near future.

I'll list my top 50 a little later.  ;) 8)

OMG!  I am so excited!  Yay!  I'll just let 'Spray post them, cuz I am sure HS will have the bomb list!  ;)

Ok, I am not so good with this music, but I do have a few:

You guys and gals have mentioned most of the ones I can think of.  But here's one I didn't see...


"Substitute" by Clout (yes, they were a one-hit wonder!) ;D

Ok, fine.

Cheer & TV9, you still have 49 to go!  :D ;D

I'm too hard pressed to thinik of any beyond Disco Duck.  Like the band Everclear says "I like pop, I like soul, I like rock but I never liked Disco!"  Very few songs did I like.  I suppose ABBA makes my cut, but that's about all I know and can think of.  Maybe some Village People.

As for Pac-Man Fever, it has my vote provided it fits.  Remember the song came out in 1982, and does have a distinctly non-disco, more 80's electronica sound to it.

The thread is back! Now, we have to psyche ourselves up for this again and TV9 can drop in and let us all know when this will happen.  

Anymore tunes we care to add? Hmmm....? ? ?  ;D

As far as songs.....I think we have covered most of them!  I am soooo siked for this show to finally happen!  I might have to get out my "Boogie Shoes" and my webcam & do a little dance for you all during the show!  HAHA!!  Wouldn't THAT be a sight for sore eyes!  ;D

I have been digging thru my moms old disco records and stuff...so I am working on a list.  There might be some repeats of songs already listed....but atleast it will help out!!

I am ready to get my polyester and platforms on!!! ;D

That's the spirit! :) 8)

When should I have my mirror ball polished by ? :D

Well ThunderVamp9, the rest is up to you.  :)

TV9,

Still waiting.....

Eagerly waiting...... :D

Just pick a date.  Weekend.  Friday Night or Sunday afternoon.  I'll be fine with it.  Make it at least 1 week from now, or longer, to give me time to get the songs, and have someone come up with a list of the Top 50.

I would personally love a Sunday afternoon as I work Friday and Saturday nights...I can get up early to catch a Sunday afternoon show!

I just realized how bad that sounds...heheeee...I meant that if it's early afternoon in the East, it's still morning here in the West :)

I definitely wanna hear this show!

Oh!  :o

;D

I wanted to add that I will post the final list when I get it all figured out. That should be within the next day or so.  :)

Mirror ball dazzling, platforms polished and polyester pressed......ooops forgot you can't iron the stuff  ::)

Well, looks like I'm ready anyway ! 8)

I know alot a good Disco songs!  Guess i  can add to the list?
