I realize that matching is all that matters, but just for the sake of accuracy: Gloria Gaynor was not a one-hit wonder. Her cover of the Jackson 5’s “Never Can Say Goodbye” was a top 10 hit in '75, four years before she topped the charts with “I Will Survive.”

platform shoes, yes. MIni skirts, no. Qiana dresses that clung because they forgot their “StaticGuard” when they left the house, definitely

I’ll probably be wrong on the few of these, but in my defense, the closest I got to the disco period was dancing like a fool in my cousin’s wood-panelled shag-rugged basement to the [Mickey Mouse Disco](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Mouse_Disco) album on vinyl… but that still counts, right?

There was no hard and fast rule on what was disco and what wasn’t but basically any song that could be played at disco and not be met with derisive hooting by the patrons was considered a disco record. The Stones’ “Miss You” met that criteria. Still, in retrospect, “Miss You” is at best (or worst) only disco-ish  
when you compare it with something like Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” When Stewart did that nausea-inducing piece of vinyl excrement that pretty much ruined his reputation, he went full disco. You DON’T go full disco.
