## What 3 lists say

### No. 3 in [Disco](https://waxonia.com/genre/disco/)

Bernard Edwards plays the bassline that hip-hop, post-punk and pop all borrowed within eighteen months. Nile Rodgers leaves so much space in the guitar part that other people's records fit inside it.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-the-hundred/)

A bassline so useful that hip-hop, post-punk and pop all took it within eighteen months. Rodgers leaves gaps, and other people's careers fit inside them.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — What the DJs Kept](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-what-the-djs-kept/)

The bassline that financed hip-hop's first hit, and the record a Ladbroke Grove sound system named itself after in 1980. Few records have been repurposed this many times and survived all of it.
