Disco. So corny and kitsch, that it becomes enjoyable... Oh and I really like Donna Summer
 And I fully agree with Lucas remark regarding music in general. There is bad music in all shapes and sizes. Remember Torman Maxt?

I wonder if disco ever paid his dues to funk. Anyway, I think I would rather enjoy the early stuff of EWF than their disco period. The "boom-boom-boom-boom" rhythm of disco always annoyed me since the childhood. |

Disco by a mile, although some of it is absolutely terrible, it does what it intends well, and is unabashedly fun.
Also, it gave birth to italo disco, and house. The latter of which when crossed with actual funk and progressive electronic gave rise to Detroit Techno. |

Of course it can. Disco just has a lot more than others. |

Does it have a lot more percentage-wise than hair metal in your opinion? |

They're probably pretty equal. There's more hair metal that I like on occasion though. |

Disco by a long shot.......Probably the only female led genre I listen to.... The Emotions, Chaka Kahn, Cheryl Lynn, Donna Summer (The Queen), A Taste of Honey. Thank goodness for prog in the 80's as it kept my hair straight and no eye liner or blush........

It's fun as it is, and it's even more fun if you take into account that the rest of the album is extremely complex avant-prog. Some of the best avant-prog ever made in my opinion. For the topic, disco by far for me. There is some pretty interesting disco stuff that I enjoy. |

^Oh yeah, I plan to see them in september in Paris. It should be funny, especially if they come with Alailalman... Alaalailaman Vas... Well, the Finnish RIO band.

sometimes the frontier between funk & disco were tenuous...
Sure they were ultra-binary rhythms, but....
Just listen to Chic's Le Freak and find out how much of a killer funk tune that is

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
