>Disco was one of the first prominent forms of commercial music to go against the typical Rock & Roll beat (kick-snare-kick-snare) and use the "four-to-the-floor" rhythm -- four beats of kick drum instead (kick-kick-kick-kick).
>Disco has little or no blues elements, further alienating it from rock'n'roll.
people sure do like to write a lot of garbage about disco and punk music
Disco is just retarded Funk

without disco there would be no house, techno, all edm, etc. basically half music released today both in the mainstream and underground.
also funk is boring and dated.

>The "disco sound" was much more costly to produce than many of the other popular music genres from the 1970s. Unlike the simpler, four-piece band sound of the funk, soul of the late 1960s, or the small jazz organ trios, disco music often included a large pop band, with several chordal instruments (guitar, keyboards, synthesizer), several drum or percussion instruments (drumkit, Latin percussion, electronic drums), a horn section, a string orchestra, and a variety of "classical" solo instruments (for example, flute, piccolo, and so on).
>Disco songs were arranged and composed by experienced arrangers and orchestrators, and record producers added their creative touches to the overall sound using multitrack recording techniques and effects units. Recording complex arrangements with such a large number of instruments and sections required a team that included a conductor, copyists, record producers, and mixing engineers. Mixing engineers had an important role in the disco production process, because disco songs used as many as 64 tracks of vocals and instruments. Mixing engineers and record producers, under the direction of arrangers, compiled these tracks into a fluid composition of verses, bridges, and refrains, complete with orchestral builds and breaks. Mixing engineers and record producers helped to develop the "disco sound" by creating a distinctive-sounding disco mix.

God if only. The world would be a much better place without house, techno, EDM, etc.
and you're just wrong abut funk. Literally the only time black music was good.

I'm so sick of all these cucked articles claiming that disco and punk saved music from pseudo-intellectual white men.
Disco sucked and always will suck and punk was just a rehashing of early 60s rock with fewer chords and more attitude, nothing terribly revolutionary.

Disco is unbridled joy. You must be a depressive.

Totally
When I was younger I used to hate disco music, soul, funk, and R&B, now thats all I listen to. I am a happier person because of disco music and Luther Vandross. God Bless You

I'm a big fan of Heatwave. It's not straight disco, it's got some funk too. If you want to understand disco/funk better you should really listen to some Motown. Motown was a huge influence on the scene.
