> I think 70's Disco as a genre itself isn't bad. It's what disco evolved into -- late 90's House music, or what's simply called Dance music -- which is monotonously aggravating beyond the pale. How did Iss phrase it delicately?

Well, no, that's not what it is. In the musical sandwich, the THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! is just the bread. No one will eat to it unless you put something else on it, something good. The purpose of the rhythm is to back up the melody.
