What about another list for
rock/punk/funk/dub/wave early 80's crossover?? Maybe one for disco,
both
funk and space variations, with some italo heads is also available??
A list fitting all of the above (minus jazz, unless it's weirdo Sun Ra
space jazz, or avant No Wave jazz influences) would be the yahoo group
EDP - Electro Disco Punks. Bits of valuable info exchanged on things
in this wide net of genres, including great tracks, b-sides you forgot
about (or never knew to begin with), rare remixes and alternate
versions, etc. Traffic is pretty low, which i actually find to be a
relief.
They don't know/care much about house or techno classics, and the
majority seem to live in NYC -- but hey you can't have it all. ;)
Most lists need a focus to be any good.. this is right on the edge of
being too broad, yet with this era of music you kind of have to discuss
it in context to have it make sense, when you consider the musical
melting pot of these genres around that time where electro, disco and
punk all met on a dark streetcorner to chug a bottle of cheap wine
before trying to sneak into each others club nights.
It's pretty quiet till someone asks a question, then all the headz come
out of the woodwork to one-up each other on the most correct answer...
that part can get annoying, sure, but all in all, it's too informative
for me to unsub or stop contributing myself. It's pretty irreverent
which i also like.

EDP was started by the owner of the Miami Bass history list,
incidentally.
