Do you feel that his week’s Donna Summer example “Last Dance” sounds like it evolved out of the Stylistics and earlier R&B by the Supremes and Aretha Franklin, or do you feel that these roots are buried amidst the newer sounds?

Some people view disco as a genre unto itself, while others see it as being a variation on soul and other R&B. Do you feel that his week’s Donna Summer example “Last Dance” sounds like it evolved out of the Stylistics and earlier R&B by the Supremes and Aretha Franklin, or do you feel that these roots are buried amidst the newer sounds? Similarly, some people view punk as its own genre, while others see it as just a natural extension of rock. Do this week’s examples by the Ramones “”I don’t wanna be learned, I don’t wanna be tamed” and Sex Pistols “Anarchy in the U.K.” sound like music that clearly evolved from bands like the Rolling Stones and Deep Purple or is it something totally new compared to the older rock we’ve studied?
