Had it been Anarchy In The UK my vote would have been different.

I Feel Love for me.

Sex Pistols :D

Sex Pistols! :)

Sneaky soundclash this one. 'I Feel Love' is probably the ONLY disco song which beats the Pistols. If it were a genre v genre thing then it'd be a clear, clear win for punk!

Yeah probably but that ain't the case. I wonder what would have happened if I had put up Anarchy in the UK instead.

God Save The Quen was probably the naffest Sex Pistols single..... so it's an easy choice..... I Feel Love.

What's naff about it...? A brilliant song, and totally necessary seeing as how everyone was going around kissing the Royal Family's collective arse in '77 (the 25th Jubilee Year), a bit of well-directed, anti-authoritarian spite was totally needed.... And the proof that it was deliberately kept OFF the No 1 Slot at the time is incontrovertible.....

 

Donna Summer...? Didn't she go around making all those anti-gay comments a while back...? Talk about biting the hand that feeds.... :lol:

I'll never think of I Feel Love as a Donna Summer record - it belongs to Giorgio Moroder... who, practically single-handedly, invented electronica as we know it. And she's a Christian, bless her.... what more can you expect? :rolleyes:

 

Love the Pistols, and the sentiment was there - but God Save The Queen is still my least favourite of all their singles.... all attitude, no song.

Yeah probably but that ain't the case. I wonder what would have happened if I had put up Anarchy in the UK instead.

 

Oh yeah, I still voted for I Feel Love and I think it would edge out Anarchy too (which I prefer to GSTQ).

 

Like russt68 I agree that I Feel Love is a Moroder song, Donna Summer just happened to sing it...the backing is so much more than the vocal. Summer's views in this case aren't really relevant.

The Pistols for me.

Two great tracks and both outstanding in there own way. I went with Donna Summer

I totally agree. I can't think of another Donna Summer song I like off the top of my head.

Love to Love You Baby was great.... and Hot Stuff ;)

Guess I was never that much of a disco fan. At the time I was only 8 and all I liked was Abba and Queen.

Summer's views in this case aren't really relevant.

 

They kind of are mate, she's a fukkin' hypocrite, and the absolute worst kind if you ask me.... She made money out of cultivating a large gay following, was part of a musical scene that was inexorably tied to the Gay Community, and isn't Georgio Moroder himself gay....?

 

It's a bit like Johnny Lydon accepting a fukkin' Knighthood or an MBE mate..... <_<

 

Dunno how you as a gay man can possibly have any truck with the likes of Donna Summer....
