Why not consider Gino Soccio's Remember as a choice.

where's "numbers" by Kraftwerk?

Boy, I have not thought about "Jumbo's"
"Turn on to Love" for years. I can still hear the chorus. It went something like this....na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, (big bass voice) turn on to love...I believe I wore out at least 2 copies of that record. I am glad to know that it is on somebody's list of favorite songs from the 70's. Two thumbs up!

What about Space or Kebekelectric "Magic Fly" and 'Lectric Funk "Shangaied?

Posted by: Jean Michelle | Dec 10, 04 | 4:12 pm

Guys,
I would definitely add to this list the following:
1) "Megatrone Man" - Patrick Cowley 2) "Do Ya Wanna Funk" (or "You Make Me Feel" as alternative) - Sylvester.
3) "I'm Ready" - Kano
4) "Music Express" - Supermax
Being a DJ in early 80's I can tell you these electronic disco tracks rocked the crowd no less then Giorgio Moroder or Cerrone.

You've got Giorgio Moroder on here with E=MC2, but how can you leave out "Baby Blue," one of the first electronic synthesizer songs, using the computer synthesized voice? It was and is a classic. I'm surprised none of the present day artists has not copyed it or tried to emulate it, unless you consider Cher's "Believe" coming close.

Don't forget the British influence guys!

Yazoo - Situation
Human League - Being Boiled & Don't You Want Me
Gary Numan - Are Friends Electric

Posted by: marmite7 | Aug 02, 05 | 9:22 am

I should definitely choose:
Megatron Man
Menergy
Do Ya Wanna Funk
Funkytown
I Feel Love
as the best from those times !!

No love for Information society - "Running"?

I totally agree that Giorgio rocks in any shape or form, but I'm not too sure what are "Fly Robin Fly", "R&J" or "Jumbo", or indeed "C Minor" doing in this chart. Electro-disco they are most certainly not, whereas you can stick most disco tracks into a "synthesizer disco" category. A bit of a filtering here wouldn't go amiss.

...and here's something that's missing from this chart:

1 The Immortals - The Ultimate Warlord
2 Suzi Lane - Harmony
3 Lectric Funk - Shanghaied
4 Donna Summer - Now I Need You
5 Amanda Lear - Follow Me
