Legendary: “Let’s All Chant” by The Michael Zager Band
This disco song is oft left out of compilations of the era. Mainly because it was by a one hit wonder, but it’s equally as important and “Le Freak.” It is as smooth as it is dancey. It is also the first recording of the now-overused pop chant “oooh-oooh!” This is some amazing disco music. “Your Body, My Body, Everybody, Move Your Body!”
Bring back Eternal!
Monumental Brit-soul band Eternal where one of the greatest pop bands to grace this earth. The foursome where the Spice Girls before “Girl Power” was coined (Although technically a band by the name of Shampoo came up with “Girl Power” much to Geri Halliwell’s dismay). The band came onto the scene with great tracks as “Stay,” “Just A Step From Heaven” and “Don’t You Love Me?” There’s a Facebook fanpage to bring them back. Join it now.

Must-Watch: Video: “Wish U Were Here” by Radio Ink
1Radio Ink has some great dance beats. It’s kind of a cross between Light Years-era Kylie Minogue and early Basement Jaxx. The video is also a good time. The choreography could use a little help, though.
Premiere: Video: “Sing Sang Sung” by Air
1This has got to be one of our favorite songs of the year. Not only did it reach the number one spot on our much-coveted chart, but it’s also the return of one of our favorite bands. “Sing Sang Sung” is a cheery chillout tune with a great chorus. It’s the lead-off single to Love 2, which will be out in a couple of weeks.
