@cubbiesman,
You're first post is remarkable, IMO.
Keep em' coming.

@dr4bob ,
You hit the nail on the head!

@uberwaltz,
You're making some excellent points my friend.

You're welcome my friend. |

@onhwy61 ,
Thank you. I wish @djones61 had the interest, or internal constitution, plus an ability to digest then respond in a rational way to this discussion.
Happy Listening!

@chazro ,
I Loved your post my friend.

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. |
BTW.... your statement regarding any artists found inspiration from disco going forward...…. Take a listen to The Eurythmics. |
You're obvious dislike of a genre of music based on an emotional feeling would certainly preclude you going forward regarding a solid/realistic approach to evaluate music for others. |
If I don't like an artist or an (era of music), I will never dismiss that, as if it was wrong or it had no meaning. |
Do like AC/DC? Are you developing a headache by partisipating in this discussion? |
Ok, but you never found (your opinion) important enough to explain here, how that opinion was formed and it's relevance going forward.
The cycle continues...………...

If the above song is your only source for forming an opinion that covers the wide range of artists in the Disco era, I find that you are supporting my point of view. Rick Dees was a DJ that somehow found success with a song that by any measure was a parody. Just like Ray Stevens "The Streak". If I was a serious music afficianado , I would not write any of these artists as my basis for forming an opinion.
|
Well you said "the worst thing to happen to music". A statement like that should have supporting evidence. "it was simply my opinion". An opinion has, by the very definition of the word, a thought process that one reaches by facts and history. Hopefully, it doesn’t come from a basic feeling, instead of thoroughly thought out reasoning. That would not be right, would it?
This goes to the main point of this thread. It may just be a macho thing, that has had time to fester without anyone being called upon to answer intelligently for those statements/feelings. |
I'm currently listening to "The Dream Weaver". This maybe the one early lp that had a melding of Disco/Rock. |
@djones51,
Why? Does the music you site take away from the music you love? What is the reason behind you're response? How does any music one dislikes, ruin music going forward? I've never understood that point of view.
I bet if Diana Ross & The Supremes came along a generation later, They'd be the queens of Disco.
