My 2 songs are really a result of playing that 54 cd a million times. Only thing is I play the 12" versions.
1 - Dance, Dance, Dance
runner up, You Make Me Feel Mighty Real.
As we are nearing that time of the year and we gonna get polls and lists everywhere, just 1 question:
Which DISCOrecord is your favourite this year or which 1 have you played to the maxx?
1 Record and 1 Runner-up PLZ!
Mine:according to the PC of our soundsystem and also according to my memory:
Surprise maybe: Divine: "Native Love"
Runner-up: Sparks: "Beat The Clock"

Find them and destroy them!
Ooh there's loads and loads, but I must give a mention to
Players Association - Ride The Groove - what a belter! I love it even more now than I did then and I always lurved it.
Mike Theodore - The Bull - I just love the overall feel of this and the cheeky, sultry interjections by the sexy, Spanish senorita. I can imagine the Spanish punters going wild to this (if and) when I start my retro Disco nights in Fueteventura. At the moment it seems so near and yet soooo far away.....sigh. By the time I get there, they might just think I'm too old to be a DJ!!!
Mine is LEMON A-Freak-A
and runner up is FIRST CHOICE's GREAT EXPECTATIONS.
KRIS
My most played track in Bars this year
Bonnie Pointer "Heaven Must Of Sent You" album mix off the "Red" lp.

Rainbow ft. Will Boulware "I Like It" off the album "Crystal Green"

For most heard, i'd have to go with'
Cerrone - Supernature
Donna Summer - I Feel Love
Keep in mind there isnt even a dance music station here is South Fl.
Not to mention no disco stations either
(I dont consider hip hop or that other stuff that sounds like the beat and lyrics is being "rushed") dance music
The 3 songs I spun the most this year in the disco vein were:
Tony Lee-Reach up
Steve Arrington Hall of Fame-Way out
Sylvers-Hot line
According to my Ipod it was "Once I've Been There" by
Norman Conners....

12" - Cognac - How High
Album - Mascara - See You In L.A.
I had these in BITD. I found new copies of these 2006 and they have been played more than the rest :icon_smile:
I'd love to find another copy of the Mascara LP. my copy was on UK Ensign. Over 20 years ago i lent a girl who i worked with my copy she went on holiday in Greece and never came back. The track i always played off it was "It's Cool" i have two other versions of that song Walter Jackson & The Tymes.
My two are : -
Feed the Flame - Barbara Johnson
Work That Body - Taana Gardner
Both have featured a lot this year!!

Get On Up Saturday 19th May 11pm till late - a Night of Underground Disco in London! £5 on the door
#1 Jealousy by Amii Stewart
The rhythm and synthesizer work were outstanding and the vocals and lyrics were so theatrical.
#2 This is Hot by Pamala Stanley
Again, another synthesized great early hi energy classic (1979) that sounds a lot ahead of its time. It has a feel of mystery and intrigue.
#3 Heartbeat 1-2-3 by Vivien Vee
I think this might have been the highest ultimate product of the 80's High NRG genre. A simple tune with a catchy hook and tons of innocent energy. Every one of the hundred times I've played it I had to do a little dance. It just makes me happy. She dedicated it to "all the gays of the world" on the record sleeve.
I've been playing Magnifique by Magnifique alot in recent months. Is this the best hi-nrg-type disco track ever?:icon_cool:
...ya gotta beat the street......
KATUNGA - Discotheque (LP)
Honorable mention: Unlimited Touch - "I hear music in the street"
