The Disco Rage.... Does Diso still suck? If Disco was revived in this new millinenum, do you think it could survive against the evil forces of this music generation "The digital haze"? I must confess that I still enjoy listening 2 the dancing sounds of disco music, the lyrics where catching and the groove put you in good mood 2 dance.So I was wondering to myself, what disco decided to make a come back in 2day's world? Do you think it will have a long lasting impression, do you think it could survive? | |

it never went away it got a New Name Called Dance Music.when you hear Kylie Mongue what is that but Disco?? George Michael's "FastLove"&"Outside" are Disco Music.Robyn S."Show Me Love",Cee Cee Peniston(Misspelled) her Jam "finally" was Disco.Black Box's'Everybody,Everybody" was Disco.same with C&C Music Factory.Mariah Carey's Re-Mixes&Her Song. "Emotions".I got a Remix that Frankie Knuckles did for Michael Jackson's "In The closet"&that was straight outta the Club disco circa 1979. that is my take on the subject it never went away just got another name due too all the Racism&Hatered spread about it. mistermaxxx | |

I was too young to remember disco when it happened, but I've got a lot of it now. Man! Those were some SERIOUS jams! | |

Mike Muir - Suicidal Tendencies. Actually, if you want to get nitpicky, Europeans didn't have anything to do with the creation of any of the styles you just mentioned. House music started in the black & gay clubs of Chicago. Techno was an inner-city Detroit creation. Drum & Bass was spawned by some black cats in London (as with Jungle), Disco was actually the mainstream term given to the dance music being pumped in the black/gay clubs of the 1970s (just like "Rock N Roll" was the mainstream term for 50's crossover R&B). Disco never died it just got a new name and evolved with the times, it went from house, to acid, to jungle, to garage (which was a term for slower paced NEW YORK dance music -- nope, friends, it wasn't coined by the British -- they just took it over.) | |

I think disco has influenced music in different ways, but if it came back full swing, it would definetely be playing on my radio, I loved those disco hits! | |

Indeed. Disco. Dance. Same thing. What's funny is,in 1980,everybody was saying that Disco had "died".But yet,in the summer of that same year,Lipps Inc. scored a Number One hit with "Funkytown",which is about as Disco as you can get...lol...also,in the fall of that same year,Diana Ross had her most successful album EVER with a Chic-produced Disco album.As the 80s progressed,there were many other hits which were undeniably Disco (Shannon's "Let The Music Play" in 1983,for example). | |

Disco wasnt real disco when they changed over to drum machines and samplers and not using real musicians... take for instance Romeo and Juliet from 1978 ( alec r. Constandinos used real musicians for his projects...ifu go back and listen.. to real disco acts such as Love deluxe...Cerrone... Don Ray...Poussez..etc. real musicians were used... so david i totally disagree with calling shannon's let the music play "disco" if anything that trackwas considered "early freestyle" u know Johnny O Cover Girls... Nolan Thomas Lisette Melendez..Freeze featuring John Rocca..C-bank... that Genre right there is where shannon was [This message was edited Thu Jan 16 4:30:37 PST 2003 by Finess] [This message was edited Thu Jan 16 4:32:37 PST 2003 by Finess] | |

I've always hated the term "Disco Sucks." It always seemed to have racial connotations; like disco=black and rock=white. I'll never forget the racist graffiti I once saw: "Disco is African Nigg*r bongo music." And remember that sports stadium promotional event in which piles of disco records were burned to signify the death of disco?
The irony of disco is that bands that I never thought of as disco bands scored major hits with the genre. Think of the Clash's "Rock the Casbah" and Blondie's "Heart of Glass." Both songs were the joint, in my book! [This message was edited Fri Jan 17 7:08:58 PST 2003 by UptownDeb] | |
