We challenged more than 50 musical artists to cover disco songs. This is what happened.

If you ask most musicians, regardless of what kind of music they play, to give an opinion on disco, it s most likely going to be negative. When asked, Worcester musician Daniel Gay said he thought it was, “vacuous and soulless, hedonistic and cocaine-fueled.”
“I used to say, Disco is why God created punk,” admits Pamela Tiger, of the band Punk Rock Treehouse, “and I still do, because I still don t like it much more than I ever did back then.” Veteran Worcester rocker and poet David Jahn says, “Once upon a time, I despised disco. Found much of it genuinely unlistenable. But held pretty much anything commercially successful in contempt as well.”
