Given yesterday's sad news, I thought it would be good to do a Donna Summer rate, to see which of her singles most appeal. I've limited the list to Top 40 hits.
Rate each of these between 10 (best) and 0 (worst). I'll leave this open until mid-June. Any tracks which receive less than 5 votes will be overlooked in the final tallying-up.
Love To Love You Baby (1976) Could It Be Magic (1976) Winter Melody (1976) I Feel Love (1977) Down Deep Inside (1977) I Remember Yesterday (1977) Love's Unkind (1977) I Love You (1977) Rumour Has It (1978) Back In Love Again (1978) MacArthur Park (1978) Heaven Knows (1979) Hot Stuff (1979) Bad Girls (1979) Dim All The Lights (1979) No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) (1979) On The Radio (1980) Love Is In Control (Finger On The Trigger) (1982) State Of Independence (1982) I Feel Love (Patrick Cowley Remix) (1982) She Works Hard For The Money (1983) Unconditional Love (1983) Dinner With Gershwin (1987) This Time I Know It's For Real (1989) I Don't Wanna Get Hurt (1989) Love's About To Change My Heart (1989) Melody Of Love (Wanna Be Loved) (1994) I Feel Love (Rollo & Sister Bliss Remix) (1995) State Of Independence (Remixes) (1996)

I'd like to do it, but I'll have to youtube some of them first to remind my memory, or hear for the first time. I assume the big hits will do best as they stick in the memory more?

I'm not going to bother to rate remixes. One rating for each original song. As history went in my chart "I Feel Love" only charted once and that was in 1995.
6 Love To Love You Baby (1976) 4 Could It Be Magic (1976) 5 Winter Melody (1976) 7 I Feel Love (1977) 6 Down Deep Inside (1977) 8 I Remember Yesterday (1977) 10 Love's Unkind (1977) 4 I Love You (1977) 5 Rumour Has It (1978) - Back In Love Again (1978) 0 MacArthur Park (1978) - Heaven Knows (1979) 8 Hot Stuff (1979) 6 Bad Girls (1979) 6 Dim All The Lights (1979) 10 No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) (1979) 7 On The Radio (1980) 6 Love Is In Control (Finger On The Trigger) (1982) 10 State Of Independence (1982) - I Feel Love (Patrick Cowley Remix) (1982) 6 She Works Hard For The Money (1983) 9 Unconditional Love (1983) 6 Dinner With Gershwin (1987) 7 This Time I Know It's For Real (1989) 5 I Don't Wanna Get Hurt (1989) 3 Love's About To Change My Heart (1989) 4 Melody Of Love (Wanna Be Loved) (1994) - I Feel Love (Rollo & Sister Bliss Remix) (1995) - State Of Independence (Remixes) (1996)
also blanked votes for 2 songs I don't remember at all. I do just about remember Winter Melody.
Macarthur Park gets my bottom rating for being a soulless disco version of a classic.

Thank you for your votes so far. Every track has now received at least 6 votes, so we will have a full Top 29 run down when this thread closes in mid-June.
