see that thraed about the rock n roll hall of fame for details
Yep. Even groups like Change/Delegation were heavily influenced by Chic.
Not to mention all the hits that Bernard/Niles produced/wrote as a duo. How many killer bass lines did Bernards playing spawn, especially after "Good Times" came out? FTMFW

This bass line is so boss...
the bass is boss, but this THREAD sucks because the majority hearing that song don't hear that sweet sound of that bass, the crowd is just wanting somethin' to dance to. Thats what makes ////quote/// good ///guote//// disco, its dynamic.
I had to pull that sister sledge out, that "THINKING OF YOU" is f*ckin untouchable disco and soul wise.

Not sure how serious you're being here, but Bernard Edwards is a shining example of how you can use "boss" bass playing (or technical mastery of any instrument for that matter) to grab people's attention on the dance floor. The non-musicians in the crowd might not know what they're hearing, but they can certainly feel an otherwordly energy going on when the playing truly is from another planet. What I love about groups like MFSB/Salsoul and Chic is how far they pushed themselves technically as musicians within an ostensibly crowd-pleasing genre.
I was and still am a partial hater, I think the 50% of disco I hear sucks, the other 50% is unbelievable good time music. I can't believe some peoples choices on here though.
.imo thee lp reaching disco perfection, is quincy jones and rod temperton with michael....call it over-rated but it is absolutely timeless..the most powerful trio in disco. i always say if this were a private or indie lp, game over.
I agree, but the last sentence is an oxymoron. A big part of what makes those Q/Temperton/MJ records what they are is the mega production value.
Erh...no. There's always been recurring disco/boogie threads on this board for as long as I've been checking it. We are not all holmes or pickwick33. You must not have been paying attention.

I have to leave soon for the airport to go DJ in France and ironically they want to hear classic disco at this event. This is such a broad spectrum question to ask because discos' tentacles reached so far and wide for so long so everyones opinions are different. Here's my GOAT 11 of mainstream disco that at least epitomize 'peak disco' vibes for a dancefloor. But there are so many....these are dancefloor grandfathers...undisputed truths imo
I Feel Love- Donna Summer Dazz-Brick I Got My Mind Made Up- Instant Funk Good Times/Chic Cheer- Chic Love Thang- First Choice Stomp -Brothers Johnson Lovers Holiday- Change Night Fever- Bee Gees Voulez Vous- Abba Do You Wanna Funk- Sylvester Atmosphere Strut - Cloud One
And nile and bernard also produced and played on Sister Sledge album "we are family" which of course contained the monster disco title track + Lost in music + he's the greatest dancer + Thinking of you.
That album is ridiculous.
that entire record is my shit.
Its meant for this. Wish I had a wish.

Another case of apples and oranges but as far as peaktime GOAT disco track Bohannon is unfuckwithable Bohannon - Let's Start II Dance Again (1981)
"peaktime" = 1981?
I did in fact mean at the peak of a party.
I must admit i am quite partial to disco (prelude,salsoul etc) from around that era (early 80's) when disco mutated into house. After the mainstream success in the 70's of disco and the subsequent back lash (e.g. disco sucks rally in Chicago) I reckon some of the best disco came out when it went underground again

Like the dude who posted Convertion said.
Who wins in a fight? OG Chic Cheer or Bernard Edwards' Chic Cheer Remix?

Huh...I've been on the board for more than four years and it seems like it's been a steady stream of constant disco threads for the duration.

How did this go this far without BOHANNON being mentioned. damn. One of the best.
disagree. this shit has def picked up in the past year or so
Oh yeah, I'd believe interest has picked up in the past year or so...I just don't remember folks "hating on it" per se since I've been a member.
Yeah, "ONE of the best". Bohannon is no Chic, hence no mention. Bohannon is clearly not the GOAT, merely
keep in mind I really like Bohannon a lot.
Bohannon - Let's Start II Dance Again (1981)
"peaktime" = 1981?
its all relative.
i played the theme song from sesame st last night at peak time. sing along time.
nothing but love.
Its all good Daddy, I read peaktime in the context of the Disco Era vs rockin your party....My bad.
But... that bassline is heat no matter what the time.
Though Im not the biggest or deepest disco fan these guys get regular play...
Chic, Heatwave, Giorgio Moroder & Salsoul Orchestra
and as far as slept on killer....
