Everyone loves Donna

**BrunoRepublic** · July 3rd, 2003, 02:13 PM

One thing that amazes me is how while most "top 40" disco is scorned by devout fans (like Bee Gees, Village People, etc.), even the most dedicated, hardcore, obscure-groove-seeking, underground beat freak still loves Donna Summer -- who sold more disco records than anyone else. I don't ever want to hear "YMCA" again, but I just can't get enough of "MacArthur Park". And let's not forget that she was one of the very few disco stars to be able to maintain a career after 1980 (in spite of some questionable behaviour on her part). Almost 30 years after "Love To Love You Baby", she's still going strong! Hooray Donna!

Donna rules!!!

Graham: Need I remind you. Not everyone loves Donna. I believe there are some folks who found most of her records soul less, overblown and pretty boring.

True, but Kim Il-Sung isn't around to post anymore, so...

Quinny - I hope you are sitting down and have a stiff whisky in your hand, coz I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!!

There are a couple of her tracks that I like but the rest do absolutely NOTHING for me.

Give me Jean Carne 8) anytime!!!!

Now let me think .... how about:

Jean Carne v David Beckham

Jean Carne v Posh Beckham

Jean Carne v Ronaldo

BTW And I won't even tell you what I think of Diana Ross!!

Excellent tribute, Graham. I love all the 1970s albums and "Another Place And Time" best, but all her albums have great tunes on them. :)

Jazz: So you're that someone? I only liked about 3, maybe 4 records by our Donna. Was that all it was?.......yep.

So you like about twice as many Donna Summer records as I do, eh?

Don't Let it Go To Your Head!

:lol: :lol:

Jazz: That means you're even a rarer beast than me. Next time I'll expect you to lay your sacrificial head on the chopping block at the holy temple of the mighty Donna. :lol: :lol: :lol:

**jazz_pilgrim** · July 8th, 2003, 02:05 AM

No, I'll probably wait again for you to go FIRST!! :lol: :lol:

I agree with Graham, I can't get enough of Donna Summer! Can you imagine the disco era without Donna :o ? It would be like a sandwhich without bread. Quinny, Jean Carn is good but Donna is the greatest!!

*DELIGHTFUL*

**QUINNY** · July 8th, 2003, 03:59 AM

HustleBaby; It's Jazz who realkly likes Jean Carn.
As for no Donna Summer in the disco era..........I could buy into that! I'm sorry, but Donna wasn't the biz for me.
