  1. Italo-Disco was a funny little genre that appeared and died in the 80ies. It was very popular on the dance floors across Europe, especially in Italy. A great number of artists also came form Italy, but there were some artists from France, Spain and Germany that also did Italo. Their music was called Euro-Disco, even though they did the same thing. The most important year for Italo was 1983, and the most important label was ZYX Music, from where most of the hits came.
  2. This is probably the cheesiest list I've ever made:
  3. Edit: I've linked the first 10 to youtube videos. Italo-Disco was highly commercial, especially in Europe, and I believe that every single track from the list is already on YT.

Another greatly appreciated list :) My Italo-Disco collection is extremely limited (maybe 10 songs or something) so this will come in very handy as being a good source for some more. Also cheesy maybe, but you just cannot argue with this sorta cheese!

Haha, nice to see that I'm not the only one...
I'm probably gonna expand it to Top-100 so watch out for some new tunes

This is wonderful, thank you. I've never had the chance to check the style out - I really appreciate this.

What about the song Take A Chance - Mr. Flagio? Although I just recently got into the genre, I seem to keep coming back to this baby.

I think I have the Vocal Version too.
