Disco-ee songs by rock bands
We all know and beat up on I Was Made For Loving You, but what others dabbled in four-on-the-floor disco beats?
I’ll start:
Miss You - Rolling Sones
Renegade - Styx
Girl’s Got Rhythm - AC/DC
Another Brick in the Wall - Pink Floyd
*edit*
Another One Bites the Dust - Queen
Disco Strangler - Eagles

Never thought that acdc tune was disco
Re: Disco-ee songs by rock bands
I mentioned Kiss doing a Disco song to a long-time fan. He was not happy. He said they never did. Denial.
Not everybody is on MetalShit.com and Blabberface fuckin’ dot net! Who cares? There’s such a small amount of people that do that. - Blotz

Re: Disco-ee songs by rock bands
Looks like one of my favourite AC/DC songs is disco. Never knew that!

Re: Disco-ee songs by rock bands
Actually, they absolutely do (see below).Girl's Got Rhythm and Renegade in no way have anything disco in them.
Weird but not totally baseless.
Basically, a more accurate thread title should be "Rock songs with a four on the floor beat".

They won't admit he's guilty. That would mean he's made fools of them.

Re: Disco-ee songs by rock bands
It absolutely does not. Just because it has a 4 on the floor beat doesn't mean it's disco. Music has a lot more nuance than just that.

You literally said "Girl's Got Rhythm and Renegade in no way have anything disco in them.".
A four in the floor drum beat is literally the hallmark of disco, and is the reason the OP heard them as having a disco sound to them, even if they didn't realize it.
You can disagree that they're not disco songs, but to say those songs "in no way have anything disco in them" is false.
Is it that hard to just put it back in your pants for a second and learn something?

Yeah, guys. A pizza uses marinara sauce that has sugar as an ingredient. And sugar is literally the hallmark of cotton candy.
So pizza and cotton candy. Same thing.

Re: Disco-ee songs by rock bands
The Kinks "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman"
Cheap Trick "Gonna Raise Hell"
The underlying beat for both songs is disco. With "Gonna Raise Hell", the strings arrangement adds more to the disco feel of the song. Given when both songs came out, the late 70s, it's no surprise.

Re: Disco-ee songs by rock bands
4 on the floor is not exclusive to disco obviously. Jesus Christ indeed. If you played someone Renegade or Girls Got Rhythm and then asked them to name any music genre that comes to mind, nobody would say disco. That's right, nobody.aznsquirt wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 6:56 pmJesus Christ.Dyslexicheart wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 5:19 pmIt absolutely does not.

Re: Disco-ee songs by rock bands
Probably because "Love Rollercoaster" is a cover of an actual disco song by The Ohio Players. Do covers qualify for this thread?

You're just moving the goalposts away from your original statement.Dyslexicheart wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 12:02 pm 4 on the floor is not exclusive to disco obviously. Jesus Christ indeed. If you played someone Renegade or Girls Got Rhythm and then asked them to name any music genre that comes to mind, nobody would say disco. That's right, nobody.
That wouldn't be the first genre anyone would say, but there's been discussions going back to the early 80s about the fact that Rudd used "disco beats" as part of the AC/DC sound on albums like Powerage.
I even heard Steve Gadd mention it in an interview ages ago (mid 90s IIRC).
Here's an interesting opinion piece on the evolution of AC/DC's sound that refers to that time period as their "disco era". Yes, it's hyperbolic, but he has a point:
https://thequietus.com/opinion-and-essa ... uperstars/
Regardless, I never said they were disco songs, and in fact my original post is me implying that they're not, saying that a more accurate title would be "Rock songs with a four on the floor beat".
Your original statement was that those songs "in no way have anything disco in them", which is just not true. There very much is, and you can acknowledge that without calling them disco songs.
