Hey Mu!  You have great taste in music, but why should I not listen to
the Sex Pistols just because they're long gone?  Maybe I missed them
first time around....

Until who?  I can't stand the suspense!  (It couldn't be .....)

In any case, some people have called the likes of The B52's disco and
their really great!  Though, I don't think I'd call them disco.  I would
call some of the stuff that Jean-Michel Jarre does disco, and some of
his disco stuff is really great!  (Too bad 99.99% of disco is cow snot!)
