It's not really that I hated it, but how could you qualify Disco 'music', after you'd heard Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, The Doors or The Stones?

I hated it with a passion. It was the thing to do.

to say nothing of it also being vastly superior to that other popular film from 1977

In all fairness, Michael Jackson did some good things. "Thriller" was probably the greatest video ever made.
The werewolf Thriller was a very good video..probably how some kids viewed him anyway

Here is a small taste of EW & F:
SEPTEMBER
BOOGIE WONDERLAND
AFTER THE LOVE HAS GONE
GOT TO GET YOU INTO MY LIFE
FANTASY
THATS THE WAY OF THE WORLD
So as you can see, no way they were disco although they performed during the disco days..as did the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, CCR to name a few

That particular song was though, even if a bit tounge in cheek. There's a reason for the dance beat and the band playing with mirrored balls. Also a reason other new wave bands called them sell outs over it.Originally posted by SpencerH

As I said earlier, I was indifferent to disco, but quite liked a lot of music that was somewhat to strongly influenced by it.

That's one of the 40 or so I have of him. A better one of all which are at least good.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

I'd also add that 'Heart of Glass' was evidence that rock bands can deploy musical devices of other genres to show the superior quality of their song-writing.

Earth, Wind, & Fire had disco songs and were definitely influenced by (and influencing) other artists who were more explicitly disco. All good artists have cross-over appeal and are genre-benders. Take Prince for example who had songs that could be considered pop, songs that could be considered rock, soul, and even rap. EW&F had obviously disco songs like "Let's Groove", along with songs of other genres.
Tell me that's not disco. It's a little slow but still.Comment
