Indie Release [Level 4]
Either because I was too young to understand the lyrics, too unsophisticated at the time to "get" the music, or just because my tastes have changed, there are some songs that I really didn't like back in the day, but appreciate now.
Some would be:
"Low Down" by Boz Skaggs
"Cherche la Femme"
"Walk Away from Love" David Ruffin
"Miss You" by Rolling Stones
Anybody else?
Gold Record [Level 7]
For me, it would have to be all the early-80's Prelude releases.
I was so wrapped-up in EuroDisco at the time, that I never gave myself the chance to really listen to, understand and appreciate all the elements of, what was called "Street Jazz", by artists like D-Train.
"MUSIC IS AN EMOTION, SEARCHING FOR IT'S VOICE"
...come with me, "BACK TO MUSIC", on DISCOTERIA

Chart Hit [Level 6]
Hot Shot - Karen Young
Ain't That Enough For You - John Davis
Givin' Up, Givin' In - Three Degrees
Love Is In You - Nightlife Unlimited
Ma Baker - Boney M
Instant Love - Sylvia Love
And one that I kinda liked back then, but really like now is
1979, It's Dancing Time - Revanche
This is my favorite of all the Chic-inspired songs. Yet it goes off in all sorts of crazy directions. Very dynamic. Hooks you from the first note. Keeps your interest with horns, synthesizers, a sax solo. And vocals by Jocelyn Brown.

Double Platinum Record [Level 9]
Mainly rock/pop stuff that at the time I dismissed for not being disco/funk but now really enjoy listening to such as A-ha, Kate Bush, Little River Band, Simple Minds, Blancmange, Wings, Joe Jackson & the Carpenters. I'm so much more broad-minded now that I'm older.I wish I appreciated at the time how good music was in the 70s /80s (all genres, not just dicso); I thought it would be around forever & I was wrong.

Regarding disco : The whole Rinder & Lewis catalogue...no doubt.I dismissed so much of their stuff in the past - but now I'm like an addict.
And I've now become a Beatles fanatic after I bought the Love album and watched Across the universe on DVD.

I'm sure this track was the prototype for 'Lovers Holiday' by Change.

For me it's songs I like a lot more now than I did then. Two that immediately come to mind are "Take Me Home" and "Souvenirs."
Find them and destroy them!
Chart Hit [Level 6]
I think you're right. It almost sounds like a lost cut from Change's first album. A cross between Lover's Holiday and Angel In My Pocket.I'm sure this track was the prototype for 'Lovers Holiday' by Change.

Crystal & The Team - Sooner Or Later (I'm Gonna Be The One). I use to think it was an anti-climax mixing this song with "(won't you) dance with me". Now I think it's perfect!

Peter Batah - Nobody's stopping you
If you buy this record your life, will be better.
