Top 10 Greatest Disco Songs

The Top Ten
I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor

Gloria Gaynor with this hit is a real disco diva. And I always think of this style as a different type of disco.

I Will Survive will survive for another century. That song is awesome. Gotta love it.

The best disco song for me. Has been my number one for the past 24 years.

Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees

A true disco classic hit that will never be forgotten. It's stayin' alive to this day. Fun fact: people play this at hospitals while giving patients with heart issues CPR.

The song that made disco famous. Regardless of whether or not it was in the 70s, it's the best disco song.

The first disco song I heard, and I loved it from the start.

I Feel Love - Donna Summer

This song, now going on 35 years old, is STILL years ahead of itself! This classic defines excellent club/disco/dance music. The fact that it is performed by the Queen of Disco makes "I Feel Love" the obvious winner of this category.

I remember dancing to this at the clubs and the floor would be jam-packed. A happier time for many, for sure.

The Queen of Disco with a monster of a track. A Moroder innovative timeless classic that refuses to age. Number 1 for me!

September - Earth, Wind & Fire

Just makes you want to shuffle your feet. And the original video is over the top!

It's such a feel-good and upbeat song. It's hard not to at least tap your feet to it.

My favorite song that is played on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.

Dancing Queen - ABBA

Great song. But ABBA was never a disco band, as some annoyingly describe them. They experimented with their sound to mirror the trends of the time but always did it with their distinctive Nordic twist. Upbeat melodies with underlying melancholy.

It's probably their most memorable song! Yes, they were a pop group, and this song isn't really disco, but still, it's amazing to dance and listen to anyway!

Dancing Queen is an amazing song, but at this time ABBA weren't producing disco music. Their song that is closer to disco is probably Super Trouper.

Disco Inferno - Trammps

"Burn baby burn." This is so great to dance to, even if you have more left feet than a Lost Property cupboard.

The 12-inch version reminds me of the full discotheque and people dancing. And that is awesome!

The song that, I think, started the whole thing. Ingenious! And long, not to mention.

It's Raining Men - The Weather Girls

This was a post-disco Hi-NRG song (and their greatest hit). The sounds cleverly mimicked raindrops falling. Though disco was a thing of the past since this came out in 1982 and disco was killed after mid-1979. R.I.P. Izora Armstead, a true artist.

As long as gay men like to dance, this song will live on.

Born to Be Alive - Patrick Hernandez

Very catchy. It makes you want to listen to it forever!

Gotta love the horns and the beat.

Get Lucky - Daft Punk

I think "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" by the Scissor Sisters definitely deserves recognition as another post-disco song. The whole group emulated disco, glam rock, and even yacht rock on some tracks during the 2000s. They were one of my favorite retro revivalist pop groups back in the day.

A lot of people nitpick "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" for sounding similar to "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" by Leo Sayer. However, both songs sound completely different. It sounds more like a Bee Gees/Dr. Hook song, if you ask me. The 70s revival trend was prevalent in the 2000s music scene, yet very few people talk about it.

Le Freak - Chic

The music, the harmony, and the strong funk rhythm all came together to create an unforgettable sound!

It's got an awesome beat! I don't get why more people don't vote for it. I Will Survive is okay, but it's not as good as Le Freak!

The third best-selling disco record of all time!

The Newcomers

? I Was Made for Lovin' You - Kiss

Who would have thought this would be Kiss's greatest hit?

? Thriller - Michael Jackson

Obviously the greatest dance song of all time (along with Billie Jean), but it's not disco. It came out in 1995 & disco was destroyed since Disco Demolition Night 1979. It still stands the test of time to this day & will get even the bored dancing. Never forget this classic or the king of pop. R.I.P. Michael Jackson.

The Contenders
Funkytown - Lipps, Inc.

Funkytown is the best disco song of all time!

Heart of Glass - Blondie

Heart of Glass is the best song I've ever heard. Debbie Harry's voice is that of a siren in this song. This song and Blondie have had a profound effect on my life. Blondie fans know the true feeling of obsession!

Don't Stop Til You Get Enough - Michael Jackson

How is this not number one on this list?

Macarthur Park - Donna Summer

Never forget this underrated disco classic. R.I.P. Donna Summer.

Knock On Wood - Amii Stewart

An upbeat blues-style disco classic. She nailed it.

Love is the Drug - Roxy Music

It was a big hit by Roxy Music, but not disco. It's art rock and glam rock.

Voulez Vous - ABBA
Hot Stuff - Donna Summer

One of the best songs of all time. Period.

Love Donna singing these lyrics.

Rock With You - Michael Jackson

My second favorite disco song after "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough"!

Everybody Dance - Chic

Underrated classic. Absolutely live for Bernard Edwards' killer bassline on this. And Norma Jean Wright's vocals.

That's what we did back then and still do to this disco classic.

Do Ya Think I'm Sexy - Rod Stewart
One Night Only - Sharon Leal, Anika Noni Rose & Beyonce

Although this had disco elements, it's actually post-disco, which came out after disco's demise and replaced it. Disco was killed off in 1979 and this was in 1982.

Night Fever - Bee Gees

The beginning of the track is really, really awesome.

Best of the best in disco music!

Hung Up - Madonna

It is the best disco song I've ever heard. Please hear it and then vote for the best. I know you would love it. The Queen Madonna rocks.

You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) - Sylvester

This song should be a lot higher. It is the perfect disco song.
