"One Of These Nights" by the Eagles is disco?? Ohhhhh..kay...

I do like Paul McCartney's "Goodnight Tonight" as well.

One song that also had a disco flavor to it but wasn't exactly by a rock group was Seals and Crofts' "You're The Love" (1978). They were soft-rock but this song had a great disco break in the middle that just sounded so good.

Actually, I don't think that "One Of These Nights" is a disco song, but since someone else here thinks it is, I decided to put it on my list since I like the song. But hey, what's in a label anyways? I think you know the rest.

Disco songs by a rock artist:

Santana - "One Chain Don't Make No Prison"
Average White Band - "Lets Go Round Again"
Tom Johnston/Doobie Bros. - "Savannah Nights"

Also, "Seesaw" by the Moodie Blues is very mixable.

My personal 'Disco'/'Funk' song by a rock artist is Bryan Adam's 'Let Me Take You Dancin'. It was his FIRST release (so maybe he was a DISCO artist turned into a ROCKER!) and in IMOHP his best!!

Some of my favourite pieces of FUNK by a Rock artist have to be:-
Thomas Dolby - May The Cube Be With You
Peter Gabriel - Sledge Hammer
Phil Collins - Sussudio
Matt Fearon - Dance it Up
Nick Kearshaw - I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me
Art Of Noise - Peter Gunn Theme
One or two maybe iffy I know, but thety certainly worked on the dancefloor, mixed with real funky stuff.

I personally can't stand "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel.

In 1978 Frank Zappa did a funny and ridicolous song "Lemme Take You To The Beach" (2:44), maybe he was funning with Bee Gees.

"World of today" (Supermax)...
For me it's definitely "Lovemachine" from Supermax, it has to be in my top25 all time favorite disco music.

Isn't it strange how people have different perceptions of music? I personally never classed acts like Human League, Thomas Dolby, Art of Noise or Average White Band as 'rock'. I love all these acts but they are most certainly not rock to my ears! OK, they arent really disco either. It all makes a mockery of 'pigeon-holing' music doesn't it? Let's get rid of those musical categories people, or for that matter any categories such as gay & straight. People are people (thanx Depeche Mode!) & every record or person is unique & individual.

Marcio, don't forget FZ's "Dancin' fool" in the Sheik Yerbouti album (1978). For LOL and also a very nice dance track (just try to dance to it! :) )

NIGHT JOURNEY by Doc Severinsen (1977) is glamorous big budget semi-orchestral disco just the way you love it, with driving beat, fab melody, wild breaks and chanting ladies.
