Disco Songs

Due to the vast popularity of disco, there were many backlashes from rock music supporters, many blue color workers and those that were just plain tired of the fads. Fads as a result of disco music included the mirror ball, lit dance floors, afros, and leisure suits. A promotional night at Cominsky Park in Chicago, home of the Chicago White Sox, took place in July 1979. Disco Demolition Night was about blowing up a crate of disco records provided by the crowd on the field.

However, a near-riot ensued after the explosion with a mere 90,000 people in attendance. In the 1980’s, disco was seen as a negative term. So disco eventually transformed into being known as dance music. Best Disco Songs paved the way for new forms of dance music such as house, electronica, and techno.
