DISCO, Yay or Nay ?
What do you guys think of DIsco ?
I absolutely love Disco, still the best music to dance too. Sure some of the songs haven't aged well and are tacky now but look how many have been re recorded and been hits.
I think this current generation needs to be exposed to the original disco classics

Honestly, I looove disco. You guys should check out Soul Jazz's British Hustle compilation. It collects British funk & disco from the '70s and early '80s. Very good, despite some Old Navy Cargo Pants imagery I get from the music.

I'm sick to death of the *really* played out stuff... especially 'Celebration', 'YMCA', and 'I Will Survive'. I do really like some of the stuff that's played a bit less often... 'Don't Leave Me This Way, 'Upside Down', 'Knock On Wood', 'Heaven Knows', 'Got to be Real', 'Haven't Stop Dancin' Yet' and 'Macho Man'.

Disco and funk are good people. I've got 7 discs that cover the genre well: Pure Funk Vol. 1 - 2, Pure Disco Vol. 1 - 3 and Millennium Funk Party 1 and 2. Some overlap, but good overall programs.
Yay

I think Jello Biafra said it best in the song, "70s Rock Must Die" by his group Lard.
"My Saturday Night Fever fantasy:
Lock the Bee-gees in a pinto and ram it from the rear!
Burn Baby!"

I don't care for it as a whole, but there are several individual songs that I like.
And there's a cover of I Will Survive by either Violent Femmes or Cake that I think is great.
