Why The Vitriol On Disco?

[Shominy]

My serious question for the night.

I like it, and enjoy videos of the scene(s).

So what do you have to say about it?

I lived through that era and to me it was kind of lame compared to the classic rock and underground radio of those days.

Dunno, it was fun party time fare for me in the 1970s.

Disco Sucks...I'm too Cool

But I jam it all the time, mostly on Youtube.

It doesn't really bother me any more than other genres of music. There are some disco hits that are catchy, but most I don't bother listening.

My serious question is: people who are vegetarian today, did they have to be prodded to eat their vegetables as a kid?

I don't mind watching the disco movies - I rank them right up there with Kung Fu movies. ;-}

The Queen of Disco

 

[Blue Devil]

Like a lot of it and I wasn't even born at the time.

Same with classic rock though.

Not to mention jazz...

You want a disco inferno ?

All of those records were from the era , but not every one was a disco imo. The Taste of Honey song was number 1 for 1978. ( on WABC New York ) I remember staying up late and recording it off the radio in the countdown . Not sure I’d consider that one disco ...Chic and Summer, yes.
You had ABBA, Bob Seger , Paul Simon , Billy Joel , Wings , and Jerry Rafferty that year , definitely not disco

KC and the Sunshine Band , there’s one .

The reason why Disco sucked in the 1970s is mainly because it was music written to a very specific time signature and was the 1st corporate music where image & looks counted while musicianship meant nothing ,much like the rap dribble being jammed down our necks today.

Can't nobody tell me there was anything hip or cool about this disco mess .

Now as far as funk music ,the 1970s we're the bomb with highly skilled musicians like these cats pumping out solid grooves that we're anti disco formula .

Was that Barry White in the white suit ?? Lol.
