Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

It's fun as it is, and it's even more fun if you take into account that the rest of the album is extremely complex avant-prog. Some of the best avant-prog ever made in my opinion. For the topic, disco by far for me. There is some pretty interesting disco stuff that I enjoy. |

Disco by a long shot.......Probably the only female led genre I listen to.... The Emotions, Chaka Kahn, Cheryl Lynn, Donna Summer (The Queen), A Taste of Honey. Thank goodness for prog in the 80's as it kept my hair straight and no eye liner or blush........

They're probably pretty equal. There's more hair metal that I like on occasion though. |

Does it have a lot more percentage-wise than hair metal in your opinion? |

Of course it can. Disco just has a lot more than others. |

Disco by a mile, although some of it is absolutely terrible, it does what it intends well, and is unabashedly fun.
Also, it gave birth to italo disco, and house. The latter of which when crossed with actual funk and progressive electronic gave rise to Detroit Techno. |

I wonder if disco ever paid his dues to funk. Anyway, I think I would rather enjoy the early stuff of EWF than their disco period. The "boom-boom-boom-boom" rhythm of disco always annoyed me since the childhood. |

Disco. So corny and kitsch, that it becomes enjoyable... Oh and I really like Donna Summer
 And I fully agree with Lucas remark regarding music in general. There is bad music in all shapes and sizes. Remember Torman Maxt?

 ... the genre of disco might contain some of the worst music ever recorded ever.Good funk is cool, but straight disco albums should be burned and then incinerated. |

I would rather cut my ears off with a rusty keyhole saw than listen to either genre.

Excuse me, but why the hell are you categorizing Earth, Wind & Fire or Chic as "disco" bands? I'm not an expert - and I don't want to sound like one - but I think you're seriously mistaking funk for disco.
