For the Love of Money is soul/funk and so is Love Train
It's Your Thing is funk
Stomp! is decidedly after disco, and It's Raining Men is mostly after disco too...
And I Love Music is very much a funk song, and imo sounds like some 1960s showtune with the string part. I am being real here, but there's a reason that the disco backlash was so major across genres.
Michael Jackson is the artist who pretty much single-handedly brought America out of the dreary times and replaced disco
All of those songs played at discotheques across the world throughout the 70s early 80s. If you want to create your own idea of what fits in a genre that’s fine, but it doesn’t fit the lived reality to the music people were calling disco at the time nor what what people call disco today.
Okay great. five songs we can agree are some of the biggest disco hits that also don’t appeal strictly to white people and aren’t hyperconsumer driven and by artists that have whole catalogues of similar songs.
Oh now it’s 7. You just make it up as you go along. We are family. What an awful song. Your idea of what music fits inside the genre doesn’t fit with anyone else’s view. Here’s the playlist for an intro to disco created by the database of all genres. https://open.spotify.com/user/particleintroductor/playlist/6lEMZsAwYzwFiwjdelr5ds?si=5ioZxfaPTtSiTLc7lIQP2g . I can see why you dislike disco because you’ve decided you didn’t like it and then any music that others call disco that you do like you refute it as not. Kinda odd don’t ya think?
I didn't say We Are Family was an awful song, but I would argue it's more of an R&B tune made in the disco era. Hot Stuff had it beat in the charts lol, and Hot Stuff is groovy but c'mon man, it's a cheesy song & always used for goofy montages in movies
Here we go more redefining what music fits in the genre. You check out that playlist or any playlist that mentions disco so you can have a better understanding of your disconnect with the genre?

It's Your Thing was around before anyone was calling anything "disco music"
Let me point out this one song on your list that isn’t quite disco. Okay...
No I made the point about like 5 of the songs lol

No, actually I said that 7 of the 10 songs you posted weren't really Disco, which leaves a few of some of the worst fucking songs of the 70s.
Are you gonna tell me about how great KC and The Sunshine Band is?
