Disco Fantasy - Various Artists

Mostly from the 80s, not many hits & almost no disco tracks

Advantages: The 6 number 1 records
Disadvantages: The rest of the tracks are rubbish

Well the title itself is a misnomer for starters as the disco era was a fairly short period during the mid 1970's as disco was ousted from the music scene by Punk and the 80's were ruled by 2 Tone Ska then the New Romantics and synth music at least as far as the UK went any way. Disco may have lived on into the 80's in America but it was replaced by electro, hip hop then rap followed by House music. Wikipedia even openly admits that disco died in 1979 but also states "the genre continued to be popular elsewhere during the 1980s", probably in less fashionable countries that hadn't adopted whatever was popular from England or America by then.

Review of Greatest Disco Hits Of 70's 80's 90's - Various Artists

The Only CD You Need For Disco

Advantages: Fantastic Variety
Disadvantages: None

I would recommend this to anyone, young people and older people. Anyone who likes 70's music. The variety of music on this CD is much more than any other disco CD I have seen. This is the type of CD that you can put on in your car while driving to work and it will cheer up your day or get you in the mood for a party. The album is full of oldies but goodies, that make you want to sing and dance. Ofcourse it holds all of the 70's classics like The Jacksons, Earth Wind and Fire and Candi Staton, which you find on all other 70's and disco cd's but 101 Disco Anthems has so much more "Hustle" to offer! ...

Review of 101 Disco Anthems - Various Artists

Tip of the disco iceberg!

Advantages: A good selection of well known disco classics
Disadvantages: A mere tip of a whopping great big disco iceberg, shop around for some real disco gems!

I believe that a purchase of "Disco Fever" provide you with pretty much a decent selection of classic disco classics. I dont feel that the tracks on the CD are by far the best funk/disco tracks out there, however for a nostalgic take on the disco era, not a bad effort. heres the track listing: 1. I Will Survive - Gaynor, Gloria 2. Rock Your Baby - McCrae, George 3. We Are Family - Sister Sledge 4. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood - Santa Esmeralda 5. I Gotcha - Tex, Joe 6. Superfly - Mayfield, Curtis 7. Boogie Nights - Heatwave 8. Car Wash - Rose Royce 9. Cuba - Gibson Brothers 10. Papa Was A Rollin' Stone - Temptations 11. I Want To Take You Higher - Turner, Ike & Tina 12. She's A Lady - Jones, Tom 13. Get On The Good Foot - Brown, James 14. You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine - Rawls, Lou 15 ...
