Look at the success of Bohemian Rhapsody. From 1986 to 1992 I notarized music contracts for the Agent of Van Halen and many other groups.I was given tickets to the concerts.I was not into the music of most of the groups and gave the tickets to relatives. Queen ,in my opinion was great because there has never been anyone like Freddie Mercury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I find it funny to look up and see people sitting in chairs watching and NOT MOVING. HOW can you sit still to YMCA??????? 😄 If I am anywhere where YMCA is being played I run as fast as I can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hated everything disco (but it's a really easy drum beat, 4/4 time). I kept my long hair (finally was getting long again after returning from Vietnam), never wore angle flight pants, big collared printed disco shirts or platform shoes. 🤢 Crap now I sound like my narrow minded father. He hated everything about the 60's movement. ✌️ Edited July 30, 2021 by davekathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes please pull the plug on the Disco Party! Visited Detroit in 1978, was made a member of DREAD (Detroit Rockers Engaged in the Abolition of Disco). Their symbol was a disco l.p. smashed with a big knife with the heading Saturday Night Cleaver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I do - how else would I have known those songs are from the late 50s? Tequila is a very popular song - you’ll be a hit at karaoke.

sfaaa Posted July 30, 2021 #91 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I was a member of the Disco Destruction Team hosted by a local rock station back in the 70's. Disco tunes were mostly just dance beats with heavy bass but in no way real music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaRob Posted July 30, 2021 #95 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Had an 80s party on Liberty just pre covid, was a great change but was not supported by the entire support crew like with the 70s party. It was the CD and a couple of activities crew. I do like the 70s but also like the some other eras/genres, the thing to consider is it has to be entertaining and danceable which eliminates some genres mentioned(IMO) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know "to each their own" but to me, I hated the the disco thing back when it was popular. Thank goodness it was short-lived (in my opinion). There was a lot of other great music from the '70's. On my first cruise in 1996 they had a sock hop which was a lot of fun. I guess that's getting quite old now. I see by the thread so far that things are moving forward and the "oldies" are now into the 90's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
