Ну так Bllanco y Negro - европейская компания. А discomusic.com - американский сайт. В этом все и дело...
кстати, Вы смотрели, что там написано внизу этого ихнего ненаглядного "Top 700" ? Очень советую
Okay, pardon me, but someone has to say this. This is a *very* sloppy list. At least half of the songs on the list are not true disco. Listen, people. There is a specific musical definition of what is disco and what is *not* disco. Disco has a specific rhythm and swing to it. There was plenty of true disco in the '70s, and plenty of dance music in the '70s that simply was NOT disco at all, but R&B, Soul, Pop, Pop/Rock, etc. There were several main musical forms at that time, probably more than during any other decade. People who actually lived and weren't just little children during that time and who know something about musical form know that most of what is real disco didn't happen until at least '76, and most ended by '82. Much music was cross-over between forms. I happen to care to get such lists of songs correctly categorized, because I like disco more than most of the other categories, though they are all danceable. Most of Abba's stuff is real disco, for instance, because those were the rhythms that they played. Kiss, however, was almost never heard playing disco. Most people in rock would not play it and ridiculed it. Yes, the Jacksons did do lots of disco. Prince, however, almost never did disco ("1999" is an exception, and even it only borders on disco, though if you want to consider it such, it is one of the greats of that genre). Such songs as "Erotic City", which is a great piece of music, has funk/rock rhythm, *not* disco. I guess most people here just want to melange everything from the '70s (and *'80s*, if you want to include "Erotic City") together. I am sorry. I remember *well* the '70s (I am 50). "Heart Of Glass" only borders on disco. Come on, listen in your mind. You'll hear the distinctive disco swing beat in "The Hustle", "Take A Chance On Me", "Y.M.C.A.", "I Love The Night Life", "I Will Survive", "More Than A Woman", "Hot Stuff, even "Disco Duck", but "We Are Family", by Sister Sledge is pushing it. It swings, but it doesn't have that characteristic disco rhythm. It's great R&B/pop dance music, but there are definitions to these things. Now, I admit I'm not a musical expert, but ask any real musician and they'll tell you that all the dance music you have been listing are from different musical forms. I happen to like the disco swing rhythm. I am sorry to say that most DJs and others who consider themselves experts, and especially ones who feel that they should be considered influential and important are not the best judges of what is and what is not disco music. They have too much hubris and pride, and they want their pet songs included though they themselves know that what they are putting down is not true disco.
It is like asking published movie critics what are the best movies of all time. They will usually list some effete art films that most people don't see, and wouldn't like if they did see them. The most mainstream they get is Citizen Kane, which is an overrated and overblown movie, rather boring, and one doesn't really ever care about the characters. Movies that they pan on, such as my personal favorite "Somebody Up There Likes Me" are the ones that make us stand up and cheer and also cry at the same time. The same is true of music. Don't ask a D.J., ask an unbiased person who is not in a position to influence others or be helped or harmed by what answer they give. We, the little people, know what is best, and we, the people who were there at the time know what was disco and what was "Mr. Big Stuff" (good song, but *not* disco -- it's R&B).
Okay. I've taken my shot. Now, tear me up if you wish to do so. I won't respond.
