Like you aren't on the dance floor when Dancing Queen comes on.

Nope, I can honestly say I never heard the song until you posted a video here.

I do however hit the floor when I hear utter rubbish that I hate. Dancing isn't always because I enjoy the music, sometimes it is only to spend time with somebody that you love. And I enjoy dancing.

Dance like nobody is watching... one of my mottoes.

It's interesting because i know this feminist who makes this really excellent case that this violent hate of disco is based in misogyny.

I'd love to read that. She could probably write one about how Jazz crosses my Engineer's mind like fingernails on a chalkboard and how that must mean I hate women...

:D

My feminist history professor lectured that it was based in racism, and failed to bring-up sex, so this is the first i'm hearing of that.

You have already proven, with your posts in the "What Song" thread that you have absolutely atrocious taste in music.

There's music to listen to, and music to dance to and hope to never hear other than on the dance floor. That's disco.

I grew up on Sabbath and Zepplin. My father would never have let disco hit my ears... After the divorce I led a very sheltered life full of solely Christian Music until I was old enough to choose what I listened to when I wasn't stuck in my mother's car...

Early 80s is when I began to listen to what I liked again, and Abba would never have been in my album collection or played on the stations I listened to.
 
No I can't seem to. I'll email her and see if she has it in a place she can quickly pull up. I'd like to read it again myself in context of this thread.
 
Well, if you got stuck listening to Christian Pop/Rock music, I can see why you gravitated away from the religion. My parents never encouraged us to listen to that crap, and presto, still a Catholic. Of course, my dad's objections would have been that Christian Pop/Rock is too modern and not generally Catholic enspired. He's old-school, and loves his classical, jazz, ska, and so forth. He's a big fan of Glen Miller. Interestingly enough, while he was still young enough to be following contemporary music, the last big craze that my dad was into was disco.

Me too, and I was never able to fit in because I despised it. I like some 80's Rock, but not that shit. Zepplin is somewhat tolerable but Black Sabbath, jesus, how can anyone who listens to that shit talk about anyone's taste in music? God that is torture. That is torture to me.

You are sheltered up there in Mile High City, never heard of Dancing Queen that is amazing, it is still widely played on retro radio. I amazed.

I listen to Pandora and Slacker radio. I'm sure I heard it at some point, just not recognized it. Maybe on Fresh Prince Of Bel Air or something, or at the skating rink. I'm sure I would have danced to it, I just wouldn't have been somebody that bought that album.

As I said. I like dancing. I'm even good at it, or so I've been told.

Me too. I'd love to see how it could possibly be why I dislike the music, but hey... I'm into introspection. Music I like has better lyrics than 'eating guitars and cars'... I listen to music that feeds my soul, not my feet. I dance to music that feeds my feet. :D

Pink Floyd came out with the following albums in the 80s:

The Final Cut (1983)
A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987)
Delicate Sound of Thunder (1988) or was it 89...?

Good stuff.

They even reached into the 90s with:

The Division Bell (1994)

All of them are good.

Pink Floyd is one of the best bands of all time.

Indeed they are!! I saw them in concert in the late 70s with the, then new, laser show. Fantastic concert!

I loved Final Cut and The Division Bell, but I will always think their best work was Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall.
