Ladies and Gentlemen, a Question: (dancing, funk, pop, rap)

the way i see it, it was carrying the torch for northern soul, fusing it with funk and preparing the world for house, or whatever. I also think it got better as it took on synth-pop AND I know you are a hip-hop head Surell so you should check out new jack swing. That's the shit

although i'm sure at the height of it's popularity disco's monotonous groove would have eventually induced a gag reflex, much like popular indie rock today

If you don't like the odd disco song to shake your booty at then you are taking your listening habits far too seriously. I have a soft spot for funk edged disco and what came after with deep and chill house. I have quite a few house mixes and wouldn't mind some more if anybody has any? Bass in music especially dance music gets me pumping.

I do like me some Hip Hops and Souls and Discos, so cool.

And I'm glad I'm not completely hated.

There's some pretty good disco/funk house out there. As far as actual disco in the 70's sense, I personally don't take much of a liking to it.

But for your original question:
No. But listening to Vanilla Ice does make you a bad person however. So just don't get too close to that cliff.

What's disco? I can't think of one band that's called disco that I couldn't place in another genre.

Disco is that song Disco Duck.

I like disco, at least some of it. There's a lot of rock music coming out nowadays that has a lot of disco/funk themes in it.
