My comments on 2003 Discomusic.com Top 500

[Funky Dude]

Been going through the Top 500 and looking at it, it looks pretty interesting. Donna Summer still holds the top 4 spots (Donna Summer fan club has been at it again ), a lot of the songs from the last two top 500's still hold position somewhere in the top 500 but surprisingly some of the ones that were in the top 100 have jumped right to the arse end of the top 500. Cannot say whether the charts are better or worse than the last two top 500's but I'd rate 2003's top 500 about the same.

Anyhow here's my top 30 listing and to my disappointment only 9 of the songs I've selected made the charts, I guess I'm prone to selecting the less popular songs hehehe :lol: :

1 - Brass Construction – Movin’ 1975 [134]
2 - Katmandu – The Break 1979 [53]
3 - Crown Heights Affair – Far Out 1976
4 - Metropolis – I Love New York 1978
5 - Kay Gees – Hustle With Every Muscle 1975
6 - Love & Kisses – I Found Love 1977 [45]
7 - LTD – You Can Be Free 1974
8 - Cerrone – Cerrone’s Paradise 1976
9 - Graham Central Station – POW 1978
10 - Archie Bell & The Drells – Soul City Walk 1975
11 - Ultra High Frequency – We’re On The Right Track 1973
12 - Undisputed Truth – You + Me = Love 1976 [460]
13 - Blackbyrds – Flying High 1975
14 - The O’Jays – I Love Music 1975 [229]
15 - Paul Jabara – Honeymoon 1979

20 - Liquid Pleasure – Take A Little Love 1976
21 - Earth Wind & Fire – Power 1972
22 - Double Exposure – 10 Percent 1976 [441]
23 - Marcia Hines – Let The Music Play 1978

Funky Dude, i hate your signature. That Aussie catchcry (cliché) is downright embarrassing! :lol:

Don't know if it made the 500 (haven't trawled through it all).... but if TAANA GARDNER - WHEN YOU TOUCH ME is missing, there's something wrong!! :x

Funky Dude, i hate your signature. That Aussie catchcry (cliché) is downright embarrassing!

My only response to that is OI! :lol: :lol: :lol: Just kidding :D . Getting serious, I chose that signature because I wanted to use a signature that sounded very Australian so the newbies here know where I come from and what signature could be more Australian than the chant "Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi", it's a bit like how Americans chant "USA! USA! USA!". Just wondering though, what's so embarrassing about the Aussie chant? Anyhow like it or hate it, the signature stays . Look on the bright side at least I'm not using "Throw a shrimp on the barby" for a signature :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: .

Now answering your question about Taana Gardner's "When You Touch Me", unfortunately it's not in the top 500 so you can now say "there's something wrong!" :lol: . The two Taana Gardner songs in the top 500 are:
"Heartbeat" 1981
"Work That Body" 1979

Lastly forgot to mention "Cerrone's Paradise" which was in my top 30 made it [403] on the charts.

Just recently found out that the top 500 wasn't the 2003 top 500, just a mistake bernie made. Anyhow it's a relief as I'd hate to see one artist take the first top 5 spots again. Anyhow I doubt that will happen again as from memory Bernie made it a rule that you can't submit more than I think 2 songs of the same artist. Anyhow if Donna Summer takes the first 5 spots again I'll eat my double-plugger thongs :lol: .
