The phrase disco is dead is something I have heard in my lifetime and I was not even alive during the disco hey-day. So I was curious, what does everyone think is the last disco album? The album that sounded like disco right before that "sound" died.

Well for me...



Although this was a big crossover hit in both the pop and R&B world, Michael and Quincy proved that they can do anything with not only disco music, but with many other genres in music and made it slick and accessible as possible.

AND SO MANY PEOPLE FORGET THIS ONE....



Unfortunately by the time this album was released, disco just died. People didn't really believe it was a disco-sounding record, and it certainly was with a urban soul production. Critics loved it and the public loved it, so what can I say?

Gonna add Kool and The Gang's Ladies Night

For me the sound never died

That's not Disco, that's just manky Ibiza-style club anthems that sound like they're from 1997. THIS is Disco:

Exactly.Disco never "died",they simply stopped calling it disco.It became known as "dance music".And if it really did die at the end of the 70s,how does one explain the hit singles "Funkytown" and "Upside Down",both of which topped the charts in 1980?

I think that Jamiroquai is making some of the most convincing disco music of this era.Their last few albums feature the type of hardcore,70s-inspired disco that I wish Madonna would do.'COADF' is a step in the right direction,though.
