I won't argue 60s or 70s. You're probably right. I was in highschool from 69-72. From that perspective I saw the 70s as a superficial reflection of the 60s - glitz and disco. Never was able to sit all the way through Saturday Night Fever. I remember Howard Hesseman's Dr. Johnny Fever (WKRP) threatening to throw himself under the wheels of Donna Summer's tour bus if he was forced to play disco. I empathized with how the character felt.

20,000 Leagues Under The Sea solidly attached to cinder blocks is about right, and their little Eagles too!

Disco was only a small portion of their portfolio as well. It is where they made most their money, but they existed long before and after Disco. Like many performers of that generation, they were capable of reproducing their sound over and over again on stage without electronic manipulation. Too bad more of the current artists can't do that.

This discussion has been really helpful. The 70s themselves weren’t really bad. I fell in love for the first time. Then, I fell love for the second time. I married the second girl. 45 years later still working on it. I think we’re getting better. Started road racing motorcycles. Had a ball for a long time. So it wasn’t Vicki L that the picture represented. It was DISCO that had ruined my 70s vibe. I Hate Disco. Not the 70s. Not even Gibblets. It was that godawful noise. I feel SO liberated. Here I’ve been, stewing in cognitive dissonance all these decades and now I know what has been bothering me.

Current artists can't even replicated their own voice without electronic manipulation.

As to their talent and sound skills (etc.), in the documentary, it is my understanding, there is a discussion and possibly archival footage of them looping a reel-to-reel tape around a studio on make shift stands in order to continuously sample a drum track without introducing gaps because the drummer was sick and they needed to finish a production. Just crazy levels of skill that is casually dismissed because all most people remember is their few disco albums. |

“Music has always been a matter of Energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.”
“Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously.” “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!” - Johnny Depp |
