You're Right!
The sounds that defined a generation. For better or for worse, just as disco
fashion infiltrated clothing styles universally in the late '70s, so did
disco's rhythms, bass lines, and wacka-wacka guitars infiltrate all styles
of music. Numerous early '70s groups molded their style to the disco sound.
Even rock giants like Pink Floyd, The Who, and The Rolling Stones borrowed
from disco. But one Australian group that had first broken onto the
international music scene in the early '70s didn't just adopt disco, they
became disco. That group, of course, was the Bee Gees. The Bee Gees made
plenty of music before disco, and I'm told they've made some music since.
But it is for disco that they will be remembered (that, and the Sgt.
Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie fiasco, which graciously was kinder
to the career of the Brothers Gibb than to that of the lowly Mr. Frampton).
The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack is without doubt the pinnacle of the Bee
Gees' disco years.
