Both styles are dancefloor friendly , both have each decade of suxess, also both have honur of propelling bass guitar to the forefront more then any other genre (imo as a bassplayer mysrlf) both styles have realy artistical merrits.

But at least it is possible to make a catchy disco song. With AOR it's much harder, most of it looks just as boring as a brick wall in front of your window.

Don't really care for either.

I suppose Disco.
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

Yep

Disco is a stale and lifeless genre which is why I love it so much (same goes for industrial)

D.I.S.C.O

D.I.S.C.O

It can be fun and has a reason to exist rather than AOR which doesn't. Wink

Didn't they start inventing machines in order to play disco music or is that one of those urban myths?

Disco. There were quite some enjoyable disco hits in the 1970's/1980's.

AOR that I like: I can only think of Toto.

AOR = Adult Oriented Rock.

It's originally a genre which gave to the world so much of the great albums as Fleetwood Mac's Rumors, Jefferson Starship's Red Octopus, Billly Joel's 52nd Street, Joni Mitchell's Hejira, Supertramp's Breakfast in America, Pete Townshend's All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes, Joe Cocker's Unchain My Heart and so on.












Naturally, I voted AOR.
