For a great 70s Disco party you need some great 70s Music. Many people
think of the seventies as the decade of disco, in fact disco didn't take
off until after Saturday night fever was released in 1977. Before then
we had Rock, Glam Rock and Punk rock and boy bands normally had to have
a gimmick. Pop rock was very popular and Acts like Darts, Showwaddy Waddy,
Bay City Rollers and the Rubettes had a distinct sound as well as dress
sense.
Today the 70s scene has been to a degree reinvented. Back in the day
nobody except John Travolta wore a white suite, everybody else wore a
brown suit made probably from polyester, or just plain denin. Many of
the decade's club going generation that actually remember the 70s first
hand (today's 50 something's) will probably have a different idea as to
what seventies fashions was and what 70s dance music is. For a successful
70s party the DJ should perhaps avoid some of the middle of the road music
and concentrate on the most popular Disco Music as well as possibly playing
some Glam Rock and even Punk.

hit singles for ideas of what was actually the most popular music of the
70s.
