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?

Oh God, I grew up in Brooklyn by the famous DISCO place.  Being a guitar player in a band I had to suffer through playing little guitar strumming crap and a few notes here and there.  I even wore a big fro with multiple colors in a Disco band.  There were two benefits though, lots of girls and got paid well to do nothing on the guitar, just strum away.

while you are saying there is an emotional engagement, but the music was not meant to sit in your listening chair for hours to listen to.  YUK!

Happy Boogie Woogie.
