I love "Love to Love You Baby" the song AND the album. I always loved the song, but I didn't get around to buying the album until last year. I like all of the songs and they also display Donna's versatility. Pandora's Box shows Donna's skill at straight ahead rock vocals, while Full of Emptiness shows how well Donna can handle a ballad.
My favorite is Bad Girls, with Once Upon a Time a close second. -

I just bought I Remember Yesterday a mere 30 years after its first release. It is great all the way through it's a Whitman's Sampler of different musical styles. The title track has a Big Band sound, Back in Love Again sounds like the Supremes in the mid-60's, Black Lady is a bad-ass funk/rock jam, and Take Me is primo Moroder/Summer disco. That's not to mention the two singles, the Abba-meets-Phil Spector Love's Unkind, and the all-time groundbreaking classic I Feel Love.

I love "The Wanderer" and more rock-oriented albums like "Cats Without Claws." Honestly, I think Donna is a great singer, but to me, she's had a disappointing recording career. Such a great voice, but so many of her albums seem prefabricated or incomplete.

Glad someone mentioned Another Place And Time. I really liked that one too. I remember it being the first Donna album I had to "hunt down"! I read about in billboard but she didn't have a U.S. record deal at the time after the disappointing sales of Cats Without Claws and All Systems Go. I remember getting the vinyl first, then breaking down and spending almost 30 bucks on the import cd.

Top 5:
1.
I'm a Rainbow
(It's a shame this outstanding work wasn't released when it was supposed to be. Maybe Donna's most diverse album.)
2.
Bad Girls
(The quintessential Donna Summer album that belongs in every music collection.)
3.
The Wanderer
(A nice change of pace for Donna; she really rocks it out here!)
4.
Love to Love You Baby
(The 16 minute title track is perhaps the greatest disco song of all-time. "Full of Emptiness" and "Need-a-Man Blues" are also among her best songs.)
5.
Donna Summer
(If only for the masterpieces "The Woman in Me" and "Love Is Just a Breath Away".) -

The only two albums my mother own are Bad Girls and Love to Love You Baby, so I will say those. I am trying to purchase her other albums to listen to them since I adore her voice and songs.
When did it become okay to be less compassionate towards each other and glamorize pointless things?
