Punk, on the other hand, brought excitement back to rock and roll.
Disco was, IMHO, better than that undanceable, downmarket, seven-minute guitar solo dreck that dominated American rock and roll.

I’d have to suggest that the disco is only marginally better (in my always humble opinion) than an unmedicated root canal.
I’ll take the Allman’s In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, the Grateful Dead’s Space (if you don’t know, don’t ask), or Traffic’s Low Spark of High Heeled Boys over anything in the disco canon.
Punk was out there on the periphery for me...the Clash were as close to punk as I could deal with. I was just never that pissed off, I guess :)
