Hi Daniel,
Fancy is also non Italo artist; German...

Hi Dario,
>Fancy is also non Italo artist; German...
You’re right, Fancy (Manfred Alois Segiet – probably) is a non Italo artist – yep, he’s German.
But I was wondering why ZYX label, included Fancy in the compilation
VARIOUS ARTISTS: Best Of Italo Disco Fox (FOOLS CRY)
ZYX label NEVER included Modern Talking, CC Catch or Bad Boys Blue in ANY Italo disco compilation.
And if we talk about “non Italo artists”, than Ivan, David Lyme, Valerie Dore, Laban and many other “non Italo artists” shouldn’t be considered Italo disco artists.
But if you look around EVERYBODY consider them… Italo.
I don’t consider Italo disco, the Germans Modern Talking, CC Catch, Bad Boys Blue, Joy (Austria) and few others. They are – IMO - Euro disco, or German disco.

Hi Daniel,
Yes, my friend,
also Mike Mareen, Silent Circle, Sandy Marton(from Croatia; working in Spain) ,Grant Miller(Fancy?) are non Italo and I suppose, few more artists but accent is on their production so everybody consider that "they" belong to Italo! OK with me, I can listen them with a pleasure... Anyway, that style of music is my no.1 and especially disco stuff like B.B.&Q. Band, Deodato-SOS fire in the sky(no.1), SOS Band, Midnight Star, Barry White, Quincy Jones...
Ciao & Best regards,
Dario
PS: Keep the records spinning!

You know Dario, I was thinkimg we should make a list of NON italo disco artists.
So, start listing the artist and the country.
It will be fun.

Very good chart, we can make a top 100 and more like say MaxHim with all italo-disco of the 80's. And even interpreters weren't italians, the productions were italians, that's the most important ( Dan Hearow, Baltimora weren't italians for instance ).
Posted Nov 15, 04 | 7:01 am by kalel0
I'd add
People from Ibiza- Sandy Marton (Martoni)
Hold me in your arms again- Fancy
Color my love- Fun Fun
Activate my heart- Meccano
Check it out - Fancy
And the best of them all!!
Mandrill- Mandrill

And I would add few hundreds more, but unfortunately in a Top 100, I can only put… 100.
I was already very difficult to choose 100 from the 2,000 songs I have in my iTunes.
Daniel.
P.S. BTW disco guru, can I see YOUR Top 50?

I would add Robot is Systematic by 'Lectric Workers and some Cellophane and most of all Pineapples.
Posted Apr 05, 05 | 5:11 am by 12inchVinyl4eva
Maybe you should just make it 100 and then perhaps I could have the joy of seeing Carrera Disco King and Shine on Dance and Creatures Believe in Yourself and Jo Jo to name a few more.
Posted Apr 05, 05 | 5:26 am by 12inchVinyl4eva
And there is space for one of them at least since Hey Hey Guy is both #47 and #32 and since you got me very worked up just looking at this chart I would move Pretty Face up much farther and I much prefer The Night by Valerie Dore to Get Closer. I'd also like to see Queen of Witches by Kano up there. Oh yes indeed Kano gotta love Kano!
Posted Apr 05, 05 | 5:34 am by 12inchVinyl4eva
what? Linda jo rizzo at top? Mine would be Scotch - disco band and Savage - Dont cry tonight at number two.... but what about Radiorama or martinelli .... have you forgot about these artists?
Posted Jul 22, 05 | 6:14 am by klfisgonnarockyou
No, those artists would be in a Top 100.
Posted Jul 24, 05 | 11:25 pm by daniel
Good to see Linda Jo Rizzo at the top, although I always prefer "Perfect Lover"...and I would definately have "Hypnotic Tango" much higher than 49...probably Top 5...but a great chart..well done!!!

Italo disco was dominant in 80`s and many Euro performers took that stiyle as own so in thet period Euro-disko was Italo-disco.You may put Bad Boys Blue on that chart of 50,they played Italo.Some song must find place on thet Top 50 to. Mirage - No more war , Murrey Head - One night in Banghkok ,Koto -Visitors. Best regards to fans of Italo Disco

hi guys . what mentioned is great but dont you agree with me that thers big hits or italo big hits not mentioned e.g
1) brando - rainy days
2) keep on music - danny keith
3) dolce vita - ryan paris
4) materpiece and i like chopin - gazebo
5)vamos a la playa - reighera
those tracks is well known to all italo fans and very popular. other thing in my opinion we should not consider some italo and other is not or euro the rythm and tune is similar or at least have alot in between . 20 years back first time i listened to all of those italo and non i never felt any diffrence in between those style . other thing if we will classify it in thise way thise mean there will be ( italo . german . spain . holland . swedish .....) which is unaccebtable
thanks

32. KEN LASZLO: Hey, Hey Guy
47. KEN LASZLO: Hey, Hey Guy
I'd make a change:
32. Patrick Colby - Mandrill
I would throw in the list Brian Ice, Hipnosis, Cyber People, JD Jaber, and Forbidden Fruit.
Also that Alan Ross - The Last Wall was much better track than Valentino Mon Amour, but that's my personal opinion.
