Real bad. The only good thing about was Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park Chicago summer of '79.

I don't know, I think the Bee-Gees are pretty awesome. :dunno:

I really like to listen to and play my own disco style basslines too, they're easy and sound cool

I'm not it's biggest hater in the world but there is a reason the term "deader than disco" came about.

To be honest, looking at some Disco bands, Disco itself wasn't all that great, but alot of the Funk, Soul, R&B, Rap, Hip Hop, and some Rock that it influenced in the Late 70's, 80's and 90's was pretty great.

To me its like any other genre of music, be it metal, rap, jazz, or country. There were groups that were good, some that were bad. There are some songs/groups that I couldn't stand at first, but now I've heard and think it's not as bad as I thought or maybe now that I'm older my hearing is gone.

Very forgettable.

Disco music is a bit of an oxymoron, no?

Yes, the Bee-Gees are accomplished songwriters maybe not on the prowess of Lennon-MacCartney or Pete Townshend. But they are very successful in their own right as noted here with just a few of their many hits in the late 1960s years before the disco era. "New York Mining Disaster 1941," "Massachusetts," "Words," "I Started A Joke," and "Holiday" for example.

Actually Barry Gibb (the main songwriter in the group) wrote the most of the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever -- all the Bee Gees material --some six years before the movie premier, final harmonies were added later by Robin and Maurice. The group's popularity grew because of the song 'Jive Talkin' released the year before in 1975.

Well put it to you this way. In the summer of '80 the big hit was "Won't You Take Me to Funkytown". I remember that crap, it sucked. Wacka wacka music.
