Members spikemullings Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 I dunno about most danceable not being much of a dancer, but my two most favourites (and yes maybe it is because I am pretentious) are: Night on Disco Mountain5th of Beethoven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members G Geezer Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 I'm not much of a dancer, or much of a disco fan, but Gloria Gaynor's I will survive always gets them out of the seats at Wedding Receptions. Then there is always the BeeGees Night Fever FWIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members philbo Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 Sort of an oxymoron, putting favorite & disco in the same sentence... Howzabout 'Play That Funky Music White Boy"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Super 8 Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 You guys over in Europe never did get around to realizing that disco sucks. But in my opinion, no setlist would be compete without Dazz by Brick, and I want your Love by Chic. Also, Disco Nights by GQ, and Stomp by Brothers Johnson. Disco was often overly dramatic and Vegas-y (Like CopaCabana), but I think the guys I listed did it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members UstadKhanAli Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 No Bee Gees songs? Those things were catchy, although I sure hated them when they were current. "Boogie Oogie Oogie" is definitely up there. Also, Donna Summer "I Feel Love" and some of the other stuff she's done is super catchy groovy stuff as well.

Members MDLMUSIC Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 How about "The Hustle" by Van McCoy? Wasn't that the song that really started the disco craze? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blue2blue Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 It's probably too early to really be considered "disco" in the genre sense -- but in my favorite part of the greater disco era* (around '74-'75) I remember dancing to stuff like "The Cissy Strut" or "Sex Machine." (The Meters and James Brown, respectively.) To me, that was dance music. *There'd been a resurgence of people spinning funk and soul in between sets in rock clubs and then the first few 'new' discotheques started popping up around. And unlike the rock clubs, people dressed up wild at the first few full-on discos I went to then, trying to outdo each other with weird costumes.
