Hey Junge, as one of the "old timers" here, I guess I've done this quite a few times but what the hell
I can't recall Jam Jam Jam. Guess I'll have to play a sample to see if I heard it. Otherwise, IMHO your choices are ok but not near the top of my list.
My list of 5 off the top of my head are:

Lovin' Is Really My Game - Brainstorm
He's The Greatest Dancer - Sister Sledge (my personal theme song )
Dance With You - Carrie Lucas (no disco collection is complete without this one)
You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) - Sylvester (this one moved up my charts )
Cocomotion - El Coco

[eddie]

Hey Junge! I wish we just had more people just do fun at random threads like yours.

Dazz by Brick is in my top 10. Good times by Chic is also a favorite. The Jimmy Bo Horne and People's Choice track are solid songs. I never really dug "Don't stop the music" by Yarbrough and Peoples. It was always overplayed and I could never deal with those sped-up voices. They do have more traditional sounding soulful disco tunes on their Polydor compilation but they are always overshadowed by that one track.

Here's my current favorite list:
1 Unlimited Touch-I hear music in the street
2 Steve Arrington Hall of Fame-Nobody can be you but you
3 Steve Arrington Hall of Fame-Way out
4 Con Funk Shun-Fun
5 Freedom-Get down and Dance
6 Brick-Dazz
7 Donald Byrd-Lansana's Priestess
8 Skipworth and Turner-Thinking of your love
9 Rick James-Glow
10 Sister Sledge-Cirlce of love (May not be on my all time top 10 but is my favorite track by this group. I heard them perform it on Soultrain and sadly it has never made it to Cd. Rhino just issued a double disc Anthology with mostly filler yet this one was not on it nor is it on any various artists compilation that I've come across or that's cataloged in allmusic.)

[Chillington]

my disco top (not all songs are 100% disco but they're close to it)
first of all of course
all marvin gaye's disco songs and the coolest is
"i want you"
and all jamiroquai disco songs


michael jackson - rock with you
dexter wansel - i'll never forget
leon ware - whats your name, learning how to love you
kool and the gang - summer madness
patrice rushen - haven't you heard, music of the earth
the real thing - raining through my sunshine
johnny hammond - fantasy
anita ward - ring my bell
donald byrd - think twice, places and spaces, change, lansana's priestess
roy ayers - all his disco songs
pleasure - bouncy lady, pleasure for your pleasure
ashford and simpson - stay free
ramsey lewis - whisper zone
kleer - tonight's the night
sister sledge - pretty baby
skyy - here's to you
rolling stones - miss you
rolling stones - dance (pt 1)
earth wind and fire - getaway, in the stone

[JohnBoy]

On your top list I liked Good Times, Dont Stop The Music, and Dazz. However only Good Times was a favorite.

My top 5 oldies would probably be

Tears Tears Tears-Black Satin
Under The Influence of Love-Love Unlimited
Here Comes That Sound-Love DeLuxe
Get the Funk Out Of My Face-Parliament & Give Up The Funk-Brothers Johnson played back to back.

And a fun little song that packed the dance floor "I Know I'm In Love" Chee Chee & Peppy

Well, Dazz is a favorite of mine, I'm not too fond of Dance across the Floor(I prefer Spank) and Jam Jam Jam (I like Do it Anyway You Wanna) I love Don't Stop the Music, but I can do without Good Times, very overplayed and sampled to the point of absurdity, (Better Chic songs would be I Want Your Love and My Forbidden Lover )

So 5 favorites of mine (at this moment) off the top of my head are.....

1. Spacer - Sheila & B. Devotion
2. There But For The Grace of God - Machine
3. Supernature - Cerrone
4. Dancin' - Grey & Hanks
5. We All Need Love - Trioano

[Phantom Spanker]

Well hells bells. been a good 2 years since i looked on this site. my "off the head" top five are:

Bobby Womack - Teardrops
Taana Gardner - Heartbeat
The Jones Girls - You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else
Silver Convention - Get Up And Boogie
Baccara - Yes Sir, I Can Boogie

If anyone knows any other good tracks to download that are in the above vein, please let me know, i haven't got half as much disco as i should have!
