Punk, Disco, hip hop, salsa, folk, minimalists like Philip Glass and Steve Reich, and The Boss. It was all happening!  Love saves the day by Tim Lawrence - The definitive account of NYC dance music in the 70s. You learn a lot about David Mancuso, Nicky Siano, and the other early DJs leading up to the opening of famous clubs like Studio 54 and burgeoning genres via Frankie Knuckles at The Warehouse and Larry Levan at Paradise Garage as disco progressed from the underground to the mainstream, largely triggered by Saturday Night Fever. Life and Death on the New York Dance Floor by Tim Lawrence - An exhaustive account of the years 1980 - 1983 in NYC, covering stuff like Post-Disco, New Wave, No Wave, Post Punk, and Hip Hop. There's very little disco (other than the downfall of Steve Rubell and Studio 54) but for anyone interested in these other genres this is a fantastic resource.  Love is the Message: A podcast by Tim Lawrence and Jeremy Gilbert - if you'd rather listen to podcasts than read the books. The podcast goes to more places than Lawrence's books do so if you did read the books and want more then the podcast is an ongoing effort to give you more good stuff to listen to. For example, they have a 20-episode tour through afro-psychedelia in the 60s and 70s and an 18-episode series just on NYC in 1977).    Songs featured in this episode "A Fifth Of Beethoven" by Walter Murphy "Stayin' Alive" by Bee Gees "Saturday Night" by Bay City Rollers "Night Fever" by Bee Gees "How Deep Is Your Love" by Bee Gees "If I Can't Have You" by Yvonne Elliman "More Than A Woman" by Tavares "Open Sesame" by Kool & The Gang "Disco Inferno" by The Trammps "A Fifth Of Beethoven" by Walter Murphy "Manhattan Skyline" by David Shire "Main Theme (from 'The Conversation')" by David Shire "Main Title (from 'The Taking of Pelham 123')" by David Shire "Sure Shot" by Beastie Boys "Night On Disco Mountain" by David Shire "Salsation" by David Shire "I Feel Love" by Donna Summers "MFSB" by T.S.O.P.
