It's kind of like when the Knack was hailed as the great white hope in 1979 because they sounded "real" compared to disco artists. (Musical authenticity is one argument for the backlash against disco, but homophobia and racism are another, of course.) You could be right.

They made great, upbeat dance hits and that's all you can ask of artists like that. Same goes for Technotronic, Real McCoy, La Bouche, etc. Love them all. <br><br>But Gerardo can suck it, thank you very much.
