Stereophile's Anti-Disco Comments and You

paul · #1 October 20th, 2003, 02:27 PM

As many of you old timers who've been here a while know, I'm a bit of a H-Fi geek :oops: Anyway I subscribe to Stereophile, a magazine that caters to guys and gals like me.
In their October issue I took strong exception to derogatory comments made about disco music. About a week ago I fired off an e-mail to their editorial staff responding to the comments as well as sharing my positive views about the disco culture as I view it.
OK to cut to the chase, this week they are doing an online poll with comment about disco. Though I wasn't credited (and that's ok :) ) for spurring this poll, they cite the same section I quoted in my e-mail to them. By the way, the article was about mutichannel sound. During the disco era, quadraphonic sound was the thing. Anyway, time for you enthusiast out there to put your money where your mouth is and vote. The link is below.

Oh and thanks Bernie. The new subject header should generate more responses.

Sure did! Even with the remark I still enjoy Stereophile.

I put my grain of salt too, but I think this really should be Quinny's job. :)

I too, voted. Said something pertaining to the sad state of dance music these days. Something about the musical value of Giorgio Moroder vs. P. Diddy. Something like that. :P
