The Emotions had Best of My Love, maybe should have beat Anita Ward though it maybe wasn't as popular. Macho Man was my VP selection. Lady Marmalade should be there too.

WHAT is 'controversial' about any of these songs. All of these songs belong on any list of disco essentials but non are controversial.. i spent a lot of time in discos during the 70s in the U.S. and UK. Resorting to click bait titles makes you a liar.

The Village People: Two members were openly Gay. This was what made “Y.M.C.A.” controversial . Some said it seemed like someone cruising for sex at the YMCA. And the fact that the group did not have permission to use their name- However, membership at the clubs skyrocketed.

@@WaybackUSA…it’s one of the best songs of the era. Disco is so diverse with a wide spectrum. Maybe you can make a list of the under appreciated artist and songs of Disco. Such as Linda Clifford - Runaway Love Patti Brooks - After Dark Grace Jones - Do Or Die/Pull Up To My Bumper Claudja Barry - Boogie Woogie Dancing Shoes Voyage - Souvenirs Jean Carne - Was That All It Was Miquel Brown - Close To Perfection Ramona Brooks - I Don’t Want You Back Just to name a few

I HATE "Ring My Bell" and always have. I like most of the other stuff, although "Le Freak" definitely lost its lustre for me a long time ago. However, "I Will Survive" and especially "Don't Leave Me This Way" I will always love. "Stayin' Alive" is the most iconic Disco song ever, but as you mentioned it's been way overplayed. The Disco hits by the Bee Gees I prefer over it are "Night Fever" and "Tragedy." "Disco Inferno" by The Trammps is untouchable. Soul-infused Disco For The WIN!!!!

The knack had a top 40 hit with Good Girls Don't. My Sharona was not a one hit wonder. Pilot had January that went number 1 in UK and 87 on the top 100 in US. Depending on your definition of one hit wonder David Essex had 19 top 40 hits in UK but rock on was only us hit

@@anitamccarty6784 R&B took chances back then, produced great and awful music. It feels like modern music has settled on producing the same thing over and over, no risks so no rewards. I hated it at the time, it was just everywhere like some corporate machine reaching down into the schools where they taught dances like The Hustle but I like it in retrospect. I have an embarrassingly large disco collection for a straight male, it's just fun music like reggae.
