I'm not much for disco music, but yeah, I dig some of the Bee Gees tunes that I have heard. I've got "Staying Alive" on my iPod. Keep meaning to pick up a best of to hear some of their other tunes.

Some of their other hits include "How Deep Is Your Love" and "Too Much Heaven". You should check them out.
I know I've heard "How Deep Is Your Love" before as well. There's another one I'm thinking of, but I'm not sure of the title. I usually see a best of at Best Buy for about $6-7, so I may pick it up next time I'm in there.
Oh yeah, I also like "Disco Inferno" ever since I first heard it in GHOSTBUSTERS during Rick Moranis' party.
I love disco, cheesy and dated as it may be! Classic stuff like Bee Gees, of course, but also the subgenre Electroboogie (Patrick Cowley etc. - I prefer the contemporary, remixed kind) and most especially 80's synthpop, which was an outgrowth of this again!
Even though I can't stand any of the "popular" disco songs of the era, I love the stuff that I hear in film scores, like in COMA (as davidinberkeley mentioned), THE INCREDIBLE HULK (Harnell), BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (Stu Phillips) and others. Also, I can never get enough of the instrumental disco music (and songs) from Japanese and Italian soundtracks of the late 70's/early 80's. The song "Make Love on the Wing" from EMANUELLE AND THE LAST CANNIBALS is a classic. Also, how about "Dancing Too Close to the Flame" from Q~THE WINGED SERPENT? Awesome!
Although I wasn't a big fan of disco, I did like what the Bee Gees recorded for Saturday Night Fever, but I like their older stuff better. Donna Summer had a few songs I liked too.
The thread states: "Any Disco fans?" and the question is about the BeeGees? That's a not completely in accordance with the trades description act is it? I like the Staying alive BeeGees, don't care for the rest of their work. As for disco: take a look at my username. I love disco. I love the well engineered sound and what it stands for. I hate the stereotype reactions it always gets; you know: cheesy, untrue, gay. Nothing against gay ("Not that there's anything wrong with that") but I just don't like it that whenever I want to talk about the music, the conversation is always sidetracked to camp and pooftiness (homosexuals I have no problems with it's the camp mincers that I hate). So in order not to become the perpetrator of my own dislike I quickly steer back to the music. It suffered from overkill in the late 70's early 80's and it suffered from misbranding. Everything with a beat is branded disco (look no further than the FSM's own "Superman IV- The Quest For Peace Disc 5" track:"18 Lacy (disco version)". It's about as disco as a rap track.
Great disco can be found on the absolutely phenomenal "CHiPs" CD (when are we going to get more of that? I need more!). It might take some getting into but once you hear those sounds, you have to be soulless and tasteless not to get hooked.
The current crop of pseudo disco is a crop of crap. Cheap and empty untrue and opportunistic. The old stuff was commercial as hell but then again: "Not that there's anything wrong with that". As long as it is done by the right entrepreneurs. Just as good TV and good looking cars, it has to be done by businessmen with a nose for music as well as for money.
There was a lot of really BAD, overproduced disco cheese in the late 70s, I tend to prefer the more raw funk inspired stuff like Chic, The Brothers Johnson, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tgWS9c4kI8
