the thing is,disco was FUN and lively.....unlike the boring,midtempo,hip-hop-inspired R&B of today.

GREAT music from a GREAT era.

just like every other type of great music.. disco to me doesn't sound "dated".

You can get deeper than that man

Rhino Records put out a great disco box set years back, called oddly enough "The Disco Box". Covered most of thee big songs from the early 1970s to the early 1980s (except the Bee Gees , who they probably were unable to license). Not sure if it is still in print , but worth searching for

EXACTLY, SoulAlive..

disco music IS festive - it makes you want to dance & have a party.

I don't know how anyone can dance to that "mid-tempo" music you referenced - I of course don't even try to dance to that, much less listen to it..

I wish Rhino would make a Disco Box part 2.There are so may more songs they could use.

Here's a tip: get the '54' movie soundtrack CDs (Volume 1 and 2).....lots of great disco songs on both CDs,including some rare ones

I have a HUGE crush on Neve Campbell and she was gorgeous in this film!

I love good disco, so many great tracks to get you moving (interestingly I found loads of undiscovered classics on the Gran Theft Auto IV disco radio channel) ...

... but nothing sucks quite like a bad disco song

Some early Philly Sound
