Disco...yep, I'm going there

40+ years later and people are still passionate about Disco.

That is some testament to Disco power and impact, regardless of what side of the Disco fence you are on.

Just look at this thread.

Speaking of Bee Gees, they truly had a split personality, in some musical sense. Compare Odessa with Saturday Night Fever and it cannot be more different. The only consistency is that, I think, both are brilliant in their own right.

To add to tyray’s post above, all of you girls/guys have nice systems. Get Al Green’s Let’s stay together album (vinyl, if you can, but anything will do), dim the lights, play How can you mend a broken heart, and come back here and make fun of Bee Gees. If you can, that is.

As a bonus, you could also try Rod Stewart (with Booker T.) and To love somebody. You will be treated to a performance by the man who sang Da ya think I’m sexy singing song written by Bee Gees. Double whammy.

Wow, this is unexpectedly lots of angry thoughts about a music genre.

Maybe those who praise Santana, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, and whatever else while despising Disco came to the party too late, with their tastes already cemented. Too bad, it was a good party. Maybe next time?

There are those who enjoy playing Ottawan, Lipps Inc., Patrick Hernandez, and whatever else, even when alone while considering Fleetwood Mac boring, Steely Dan music for wannabe intellectuals, and Santana a virtuoso with three truly brilliant pieces of music and not much else. Why is it considered that Disco was made by people with less talent than some mentioned above? Sounds of a cat being pulled by a tail, played on a guitar, are no more pleasant than a lively rhythm Disco provided.

I would also like to remind everyone that big hits for Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones were Another Brick In The Wall and Miss You.

"I remember wishing that the rest of them would jump off the bridge also, so that the movie would be over sooner."

You could not find the exit from the theatre before the lights turned on again?

slaw,

yep, I'm going there

Why did you ever leave? What were you thinking?

Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum.

Tell me that song does not move you!

On another thread, someone mentioned that song as something to play on her/his funeral. I guess that one would not be moved by it although she/he wouldn't be able to tell you.
