Slipped My Disco 5

 I started this pick years ago. Always fascinated by the concept of artists doing songs that are not their genre. You'll find all sorts of picks on this site with that premise. What's funny to me is when a band does that and becomes so well known for that one off-genre track that they change completely. Check out some of the other Slipped My Disco compilations to see some of those. This volume has more of the ones that were just tries (some hits, some misses). I mean Steve Miller was never going to known for this track. A few of the others are better swings. I always crack up listening to the Sweet. They tried so many different genres and some of their early glam almost sounds like disco, so I can see why they tried. But I'd rather listen to Love Is Like Oxygen anytime. That being said Ballroom Blitz is not far away from disco. Like all the others, posted on a Saturday nite.

Slipped My Disco 4

My goodness, we're already at volume four of this series of disco picks. That's because there are so many disco songs by non-disco artists. Although at least one of these never had a bigger hit than their disco hit. Keep commenting with your favorite disco hits, I'm sure I will be making more of these. As usual check out the hand designed playlist cover. And check out the other volumes if you like this one. A couple of second hits, jazz, punk, funk, pop rock and more all trying to get disco.

Slipped My Disco 3

In the ongoing Slipped My Disco series, this Pick is interesting in that some of these bands ended up being known for their disco song, than the rest of their work. Plus a couple of jazz musicians who had a couple of disco hits. I'm sure you will think of more songs that fit into this playlist and if you do, be sure to tell me what you thought of in the comments below (after clicking on the album cover, of course). Make sure you also check out volume 1 and volume 2 if you like this one.

Slipped My Disco 2

There are so many disco songs done by artists that were not considered disco artists that I could do many of these connections. These are mostly rock bands doing their one obligatory disco song to test the waters. Most never did a second. But we got some great disco tunes because of it. Volume 1 of the Slipped My Disco series was good, but missed by not having these tracks. Click on the cover and leave a comment on your favorite disco song by a non disco band to maybe use in a future Pick.

Slipped My Disco 1 Connection

This will be a fun start to a several volume set of playlists with the connection of disco. But not just regular disco. These are all bands/artists that were not known as disco bands, but they did a disco song or disco album. I will post the other sets on future Saturday Nites. Some of the artists in the sets may have had their biggest hit with the disco song and for some it was their worst. You judge, not me. I like them all, but then again, I like disco. The album cover (click on it) is a snapshot of a local Bay Area TV station's regular disco dance party, so it's not from the seventies or eighties. Post a comment with your favorite disco song by a non-disco artist, maybe it is coming on one of the other picks.
