WRONG! I don't think so! As much as I love ELO, one of my most favorite "non-disco" groups, in my opinion they were not disco; they were rock with the flavor of that era having orchestral compositions, bordering on disco, but the beat and bass riffs so prevalent and essential to "tab" something disco, just wasn't there.

I thought the closest they came to disco/dance was Dont' Bring Me Down.

Don't bring me down, Bruce
Don't bring me down, Bruce
Don't bring me down, Bruce
Don't bring me down


Who is Bruce?


But an excellent rock group.

Wow!
Thanks for digging this out of the recesses of my memory. What year was this released? Looks like about '79 or '80.

For me, ELO's most Disco song is "Shine a Little Love" from 1979, but I like some of their earlier hits better.
