Subject: Do you like Disco?

Written By: Full_House_Fan on 02/12/05 at 1:05 am

I do, but don't listen to it often.  I'm more into its cousin, New Wave  ;D

Sure, I like it. :) It really depends on the song, though. It reminds me of growing up. Disco was everywhere in the late '70s.

Ok, I hate to sound wimpy  ::)  but it's definitely a mixed bag for me.  :-\\

To just sit and listen, I get real tired of the average Disco songs (tho there are outstanding exceptions)

But when I'm dancing (or more lately doing aerobics) Disco can't be beat  :)

When disco was in all of its glory in the late 70s, I hated it, there was a definate line in the sand  where I grew up and if you were into rock disco wasn't an option. Now I like a few of the songs and realize that disco was a part of music history, for good or bad it helped to shape what followed :)

Yes, I like disco. Don't know why so many people hated it. I can see people that didn't grow up in that era not liking it.

My older brothers, who in the late 1970's were stoners that were into the Doors and Led Zeppelin, hated disco. When I was a kid I initially liked it but I also looked up to them and they ridiculed me into hating it as well.  Once I got out on my own and began to form my own opinions I came to appreciate it more. (I especially like that funk-style rhythm guitar that a lot of disco incorporates.)
     I don't know if you could call this a disco song or more of a parody of one, but right now I am listening to

Say everybody have you seen my balls? They're big and salty and brown
If you ever need a quick pick me up, just stick my balls in your mouth

Ooooh, suck on my chocolate salty balls
Stick 'em in your mouth and suck 'em!
Suck on my chocolate salty balls
They're packed full of vitamins and good for you
SO SUCK ON MY BALLS!

;D ;D ;D

Disco is fun to dance to, but not something I would listen to for liesure (wow.. now there's a pun).

Songs like YMCA and Stayin' Alive are still prom mainstays in America's high schools... and of course there are all the remakes now days.

I'm not a huge disco fan, but some songs I can live with. I like Fly Robin Fly   from the Sylver Convention The group Tavares has a lot of great songs I like, their version of More than a woman is better.

Love Disco, used to dance it when I was a child (before I became self consious about how I look dancing) lol

By the way, Disco never died, the clubs just got smaller:

I like disco. Like all other musical genres, it had its duds, and I can't dance to them for very long, but most of the successful disco songs were good.

Like all genres disco has it's greats and it's annoyingly bad songs. Some suffer from being over-played at tacky parties, weddings and cheesy clubs in the 90s.

I do love Andy Gibb still, though he isn't the epitome of disco in my humble opinion.

I actually love Disco~ Back in the early middle 80s  I used to frequent a club in my area that was a run off of Studio 54... some wild stuff. It was fun fun fun!!  I just watched a movie yesterday about studio 54 too.

1976 was the best year for disco. I love practically all the disco songs that came out that year, and the charts were filled with disco songs. I was only 3 years old in '76, but I checked on a music website!  :-\\

Then came 1977, and the disco output went down somewhat.  :(

Loved Disco!!! And still do, but only the disco hits from around 1974 to 1980. After that Disco kind of left me flat. When I was 7 and 8 years old there were none bigger in the disco scene than The Village People. Now, their albums and film is billed as 'gay interest', but Im not gay and still get that feeling of wanting to get up and dance every time I hear the opening music for Cant Stop The Music, YMCA and In The Navy...Hell, their entiire Cant Stop The Music soundtrack is possibly one of the best disco albums ever, and it wasnt a full album of Village People songs...The Richie Family and David London also add some kicking hits in there too.

So...Yes...1970's very early 1980's Disco is here to stay (at least on my sterio and in my car).

I like about the best 10-15% of Disco - stuff like K.C. and the Sunshine Band, Bee Gees, some Donna Summer, which were also good songs in addition to dancefloor tunes. But Disco really outcheesified itself in the end, and was deservedly ridiculed for the panache of kitsch it was.

I used to hate it back in my teens in the '70s' I couldn't turn the radio off quick enough when a disco tune came on, I was srtictly a Rock 'n Roll Man (still am btw), But now-a-days when I hear an old Disco tune I sometimes catch myself singing along, so to answer the question Yes I like disco for nostalgic reasons only  ;)
