Love to Love You, Donna Summer Albums

Much prefer A Love Trilogy, which seems kind of forgotten after Love to Love You Baby, to Once Upon a Time, which bores me outside of the mechanistic second side. Trilogy’s “Try Me, I Know We Can Make It” never falters over 18 minutes. And while the Manilow track drags side two down a bit, “Wasted” is a great performance and “Come With Me” is one her sneaky best Munich Machine cuts.

I love "Try Me, I Know We Can Make It”

Good list. I haven't heard The Wanderer for some reason.

I think my top five would be,

Once Upon A Time
A Love Trilogy
Bad Girls
Donna Summer
I Remember Yesterday

The Wanderer is such weird album.

Four Seasons of Love is thematically perfect and with just four really lovely tunes and no filler how can you lose

I Remember Yesterday starts with "I Remember Yesterday" and ends with "I Feel Love"...imagine listening to that when it came out...the range

I always forget that my older sister, in between Bowie/Roxy and punk rock went through a disco/clubbing phase and had at least two Donna Summer albums, the one I remember most is A Love Trilogy.

I don't think that journey from glam to disco to punk was that uncommon - in the UK anyway.

I Remember Yesterday starts with "I Remember Yesterday" and ends with "I Feel Love"...imagine listening to that when it came out...the range

OTM. Plus Love's Unkind. I like the whole album tbh.

(xp) I suspect Roxy splitting up and Bryan Ferry growing a moustache gave impetus to punk rock in the UK.

Interesting comment though. I think there are even artists who transitioned from glam to disco in the UK (not as many in the US). I’m thinking of people like Zenda Jacks, once compared to Suzi Quatro but who later joined Silver Convention as a disco singer. I feel as if there are others like her.

Come With Me” is one her sneaky best Munich Machine cuts.

Particularly love this track but A Love Trilogy as a whole is great.
