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.
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?
