There’s quite a bit of music I hated for a long time. Disco was one of em…

KC and the Sunshine band have a bit more soul than people give em credit for, even though it was tailored for the Disco crowd.

I can listen to ABBA, BeeGees or Donna Summer, but they never really bothered me.

Funny, I can’t really think of a Disco tune I still hate enough that I have to change stations for…

I think all my music style hatred migrated over to Rap music.

God I hate Rap Music…apart from a few gems. 😉

I’ve always said “disco never died, they just rebranded it when Madonna came out as ‘dance music’.”

IMHO, it’s properly rated. Some is good, some is crap. The good stuff you still hear today, the crap has (largely) disappeared.
