Disco, funk, Hi-NRG, house, freestyle & similar


For discussion, video/music clips, and movie suggestions on all the above.

 

When most people think of disco music, I think the image that comes to mind is KC & the Sunshine Band, the Village People, the Bee Gees, and of course, Donna Summer. There was alot more to it than that though. And there were other great artists (and also some not so great ones) who were popular in nightclubs and discotheques of the 70's and 80's, but didn't receive much radio airplay, sometimes because their music was too risqué or "alternative" for mainstream listeners, or simply not "Top-40" enough.

 

My hope is to explore both the well-known, and also many of the lesser-known artists in these genres here. And hopefully others who remember some of these artists and music styles will contribute as well.

 

P-funk (George Clinton, Parliament, Funkadelic...) is certainly welcome here btw, but G-funk (aka gangsta-funk), which came later on, is probably better suited to the Hip-hop thread .

 

The sound quality may not be the best on some of these, so watch volume levels when playing them.
