I'm glad I missed it. The music is awful, as are the fashions. One of the most embarassing aspects of American culture. Why do people keep trying to bring it back?

but i don't listen to it

I'm not old enough to remember disco, but I hate it now. Only thing worse was the crap that came out in the 80's.

Hey, don't forget the clothing of the disco era. Hard to choose what was worse. Nah, it was the music!

This music has a purpose but certainly not for the serious music lover. You must be hard up for questions to ask.

Never owned a disco album, avoided it like the plague. The Brothers Gibb seemed like nice fellows, but their silly falsetto so grated on my ears I'm convinced I have hearing loss at those extreme frequencies.

98% junk, then and now. But every genre includes at least some worthwhile works.

Nostalgia is a wonderful thing, isn't it?

Disco Duck?

old school - appreciate it for what it is.

It was a good way to meet girls in clubs, but it has never had a place on my stereo.

Was to closed minded to like it when it was new. Now I like it in very small doses.

It had good instrumental arrangements, reflected joy of living, and makes a star of you, instead of a of long haired trashy group.

With good Musicians and Production it is as good as anything else! Especially if you want to Dance!

Disco is one of those crimes best left unsolved.

One must stop thinking of all disco as simply the Bee Gees or Village People. It would be like judging the entire genre of rock by groups such as Cinderella or New Kids on the Block. Disco music was a genre that brought many different flavors of music together—such as soul, funk, Latin, Euro, jazz, and even classical.Things we now take for granted came about from the pioneering days of disco, such as the extended single, the concept of multiple mixes, or remixes (which itself dates back to the '60s dub scene in Jamaica), the break, and mixing between songs (as opposed to a simple segue). All of these came about or were popularized by disco. Disco also brought about improvements in sound with the introduction of the higher fidelity 12" single, which is still with us today.More importantly, disco is the foundation of all modern dance music and a force that shook up the establishment and tore down many socio-economic barriers. Listen to material from MFSB (Epic Records) and hear what a group of talented musicians can do. The music is rich with many textures and simply wonderful. Listen to some "real" disco music with an open mind and discover what great music is in those record grooves.

I feel the same as before that 98% of it sucked and still sucks. If it weren't for Barry White and Donna Summer it would have been 100%.

Ha,ha ha, ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Surely you jest! Oh, I just long for Silver Convention's "Fly, Robin, Fly"

Used to think it was all crap, but now realize that a small percentage of it is of some value.

Disco is still fun to listen too.

I still have my "Disco Sucks" T-shirt. Since the resurgance of disco, I have discovered that some of what I had originally thought was disco, was not. There is a very real difference between funk, '70s r'n'b, and disco. Disco still sucks.Going below the surface, there was some good music produced in that era that did not deserve to be lumped together with disco.

Having lived through the disco years all I can say is Thank God for the Dead!During this time

All that matters is whether I like the particular piece of music, not what label someone sticks on it. I thought I had a wide range in musical taste, but it's nothing compared to the typical Stereophile reviewer - and that's a good thing.

By far the greatest and last era of great music. The house and rap crap is nothing but awful. Even sampling some of the greatest disco hits ever doesn't spice up the tracks.

I didn't get into disco until the mid-90s, but once I did there was no turning back. Disco is one of the greatest types of music ever created.

Disco was good clean dance music. Some of it even had good fidelity which is more than you can say for rap/hip hop which mostly doesn't have fidelity to it because it does not use real instruments for the most part. Remember Kool and the Gang and K.C. and the Sunshine Band? Those were the real good old days.

Compared to what passes as "dance music" today, it was brilliant. I'll take Giorgio Moroder over P.Diddy any day. Duh!

At least is doesn't have any distorted guitars on it. I listen to my kids station whenever they are in the car. (often)All parents should. In one 30 minute ride, maybe 8 songs, there was never a song that wasn't dominated by overdriven (distorted) guitar. It's ******* boring. You would hope that the real musicians in the bunch would rise to the top, and create something unique. I won't be holding my breath. I wonder what would come out of the kid's bands, if distortion wasn't allowed. It's the weak guitar players crutch. My guess is that clean sounding music is the next metamorphisis in the doldrums of popular music drivel. The good players will fall into it. The good players always need somewhere to go, and away from the overdive, is the logical direction.

Saturday Night Fever brought it to everyone's attention.And made music for what is today.It's called progression.

Thank God I wasn't born at the time (shudder).
