Day 37: The Strobe

According to Sirius: The sounds that bring you back to the days of glitzy club life and Studio 54. It's yesterday's biggest dance hits and the music that energized a generation. Classic dance lives on at The Strobe!

My Experience: Well, I guess it wasn't my generation that was energized by the music here. Listening to The Strobe was like listening to Totally '70s, but only the disco parts. Okay, to be fair, only about 90% of the music from the disco era...there were some things from the '80s and '90s, too...but for the most part it was a lot of Bee Gees, Abba and Donna Summer. I had quite a bit of driving today, too...and this wore on my nerves pretty quickly.

A Time and a Place for Everything: The only thing I can really think of is some sort of retro disco party, where white polyester suits and gold chains are required attire. Other than that, can't really see anyone tuning regularly into this.

Sample Playlist:
  • Vicki Sue Robinson, Turn the Beat Around
  • The Bee Gees, Stayin' Alive
  • No Mercy, Where Do You Go
  • Blondie, Rapture
  • Donna Summer, Heaven Knows
  • A Taste of Honey, Boogie Oogie Oogie
Verdict: Sorry...not bookmarkin' this one. That having been said, I do have to confess...I did tag one song for download into the Sirius MP3 player attached to my radio: Boogie Shoes by KC and the Sunshine Band. Just couldn't stop groovin' to it in the car.
