Disco...yep, I'm going there

BTW.... your statement regarding any artists found inspiration from disco going forward...…. Take a listen to The Eurythmics.

Problem with Disco was it followed on the heels of some very historic, groundbreaking musical trends from the 60's.  It was an obvious money grab that corporate music completely embraced and basically shoved down the throat of the American public.  And we ate it up!  You have to understand, it wasn't just the music, it was a complete social overhaul.  Picture the prototypical hippy from Woodstock, we went from THAT to John Travolta in Saturday Night fever!  I hated the music, or so I thought, but went to the clubs for years and guess what?  I found my universal truth ALSO applies to Disco, namely, there's only 2 types of music; good and bad.  Nowadays, when certain, not all, disco tunes pop up they have the same effect as hearing a "golden oldie".

Frankly, in a lot of ways, I'd love to go back to the days of "pay-offs" When record company executives  would travel around and pay djs to play their music with coke.

@chazro ,

I Loved your post my friend.

Good music is good music.  Most popular music is completely disposable, but the best endures.  For me, Donna Summer's "MacArthur Park Suite" is outstanding.  Chic had a number of fine albums as did Dan Hartman and Madonna.  Now the criticism of disco as dumbed down R&B for "white people" has much truth, but the same argument can be made about early rock.  Disco eventually morphed into EDM which as a music form isn't really meant to be heard outside of a club environment.
