I've always wondered this. Why was disco resoundly ? upon as a musical genre in the 70's? I mean other artists would ? about disco in their songs, talking about how bad the music. Hell, there was a even a Disco Demolition Night, promotion at Cominsky Park that turned into a riot.

Even though disco as a genre was a fad, there were some disco produced some straight up classics.

I Will Survive-Gloria Gaynor

All these are dope ass songs, which unlike today's records, (which pass themselves off as hot records,) have harmonies, melodies, lyrics, and hooks. How it that the "? " music from damn near forty years ago is HELLA BETTER than most of the ? that's out today?
