Ben you can take two bad songs from any genre does not mean the whole genre sucks. Like Mike I am a rock fan but I was also into disco. Yes some of it was cheesy.....most genres have their fair share of cheesy songs. There was also some great disco music with great riffs great performance and production. Disco was meant exactly like it says on the tin to dance to. It was not meant to inspire educate or even get emotional it was just great dance music. Like most folk I like a boogy not that I am much of a dancer. I met my wife at a disco. I bet a lot of people can say the same.
The only thing I hated about disco was it killed live music and put a lot of great bands out of live work. Why pay a five piece or more band...when you can pay one kid a fraction of the money just to play records.
Nowadays it is the opposite..... the world has gone really crazy.....why pay a five piece band hundreds when you can spend thousands on a famous DJ.
My son regularily pays obscene amounts of entrance money to get into a club where a guy just plays dum dum dum records. You know what dum dum is? The record goes dum dum dum ad finitum. I do not get it. I might pay that money to see a great band but not to see a guy make a record jump or stick. Hell when any of my prized records stuck it annoyed the hell outta me. LOL
