Disco...yep, I'm going there


We've all read the comments about disco music, most seem to heavily weigh on the side of "it sucks". I cannot say how many times I've read that two word remark......yet, without any explanation. One thing for sure, that era defined our consciousness and is an important part of our musical history.

Frankly, I love listening to several artists from that era ... Bee Gees, Donna Summer, KC & The Sunshine Band...………..

I really can't understand how anyone can listen to these artists and not be moved to get up and dance. That IS an emotional connection. The exact connection most of us long for. So, what's the problem?

Were you looking for intulectual music or music that was beautiful and made you feel good?   If an artist could do both,  good for them. 

Perhaps those such as yourself threatened because disco was the biggest genere to come out of the music scene since rock music was invented.

Some of your favoririte rock bands had good disco success. A couple of examples.

I can go on with a few more.  And if I were to look into your music catalogue,  I be willing to bet you have a couple of village people songs in your stash.

Disco never died.   It still lives on.

This is a classic thread my friend, getting a kick from some of the replies and reminders of some great music.
I went for the girls. Still have my "Disco Sucks" shirt around here, unless my wife thew it away.

The worst of all those musicians was the most popular. Says a lot about people, and of course me. :)

Also, It wasn’t Disco that changed music at that time, it was Punk! London Calling broke my brain.
