B0unc3 - Distorted Reality

[AshyPhoenix]

Brilliant movie, equally brilliant soundtrack. Hans Zimmer obviously took quite a bit of inspiration from this movie for Inception.

B0unc3 - Here We Go (Club Edit)

I have often wondered--why do so many classics get remembered, and played endlessly on oldies stations, while others--equally well-crafted--get completely forgotten?

Here's one such tune from 1978. Those were the pre-AIDS, pre-STD days of Studio 54; the days of all-night dancing and drinking at a party that would, just a few short years later, get abruptly crashed by the scourge of AIDS.

Everybody remembers Sisters Sledge for We Are Family, but who remembers this other top-10 tune of theirs?

[JohannBessler]

Another offering from the "unjustly forgotten disco classics"

I give you CHIC. And chic they were--I marvel at their beauty and their sophistication even now....Sadly, one of them has passed away:

Check out the violins! You never see violins in popular music these days.

Until the next generation, during the first half of the 1990s, took it from where the previous one had left it, and it has been a continuous wild party from the late 1990s until today... although having already peaked in the mid-2000s.

These are considered the "unknown classics"

CHIC are hardly forgotten. They've just been nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[vacancy3]

^so was joan jett....im fuckin stoked

Not the group.

I meant,the song itself.

They play GOOD TIMES and LE FREAK over and over on oldies stations, but you never hear I WANT YOUR LOVE.

Somehow, that mystifies me.

BTW, I have their original vinyl albums. Eat your heart out!

[JohannBessler]

@Miaedu:

I actually remember "Lost in Music"! It was a mid-level hit in the late 70s. I think it reached about 40 on the Billboard Hot 100.

I don't remember the other one at all, though.

I hadn't heard this in many years but it kept popping into my head over the last few days. I'd forgotten just how much fun the video was although, to be honest, I still love the song (as well as the guys in it).

Oh! I'm a contemporary of Sister Sledge. I attended Temple University at the same time as at least two of the sisters. (But...we haven't met yet.)

Kathy Sledge hosted a holiday special on local Philadelphia TV last Christmas. She sounds fine.

And my favorite Sister Sledge songs? These two almost-forgotten ones:

Sister Sledge - Love Don't Go Through No Changes On Me


and
Sister Sledge - All American Girls
