Those big fat bass lines are awesome. If you say that you don't get into "Jive Talkin'" then, WHO ARE YOU CRAPPIN"?

Actually that's not true. The Bee Gees were around well before disco began. Most of their more popular songs are the disco songs, but they had some success in the 60s and early 70s before that. #FunFacts

Disco is deceptively cool. Hate not.

A couple that come to mind for me:

Silver Convention - "Fly Robin Fly"
Chic - "Good Times"
MFSB - "Love Is the Message"
Whispers - "And the Beat Goes On"
Jimmy Ross - "First True Love Affair"
Taana Gardner - "Heartbeat"
MFSB - "The Sound of Philadelphia"
The Philadelphia Society - "100 South of Broadway"
Fat Larry's Band - "Act Like You Know"
Shannon - "Let the Music Play" (the link between disco and '90s dance)

"Miss You" by the Stones is, regardless of what anyone says, a disco chart ... this is even more readily apparent in the eight-minute (or so) extended cut.

I think the two Donna Summers songs mentioned, "I Feel Love" and "Love to Love You Baby" are great proto-House songs. Also, would the Gap Band be considered Disco? if so, "Party Train" and "You Dropped the Bomb on Me."

Good songs, but not disco. More like Funk, but not to the PFunk level of Bootsy Collins/Parliment/George Clinton

Yeah, I remember that too! Jammin' Oldies was a good format, but for some reason it had no staying power. Apparently there's only so much KC and the Sunshine Band a station can be made to play before no one cares anymore. Those stations lived and died like mayflies all around the country.

Do you remember when WNIB would do R&B overnights? I'd hear some of that once in a very blue moon on Saturday nights when I was little, because my dad would listen to Those Were The Days in the afternoon.

I wish radio still sounded like this sometimes. Not all the time, mind you, but there's such an unpolished charm to it, like it's one guy alone at the station doing everything himself. Listen to how clunky that cough button is, good lord.
