STARBLASTER - 3am Disco Funk Dance Party, featuring bass player Leland Sklar, who's apparently on loan from ZZ Top. Tongue

With this one, you might want to get up and demonstrate your dance abilities! The flowing disco groove of RTF's "Earth Juice" pairs perfectly with Al's incredible guitar work. Notably, the band's perhaps most progressive album, "Where Have I Known You Before," came out in 1974, the year disco music began to break away from its roots in funk and soul to become its own genre.

"Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" grooves its way into the disco realm with undeniable flair, proving that even Pink Floyd didn't resist making a good dance beat in the heyday of disco music.

Following on from the enormous success of their Disco Very (1979) album, ELO went one better by recruiting Olivia Newton John for the album and movie Xanadu (1980), which is far preferable to the one other version of Xanadu I know of. Wink

Two songs come to mind:

Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell
Alan Parson Project - I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

I think that if Run Like Hell had been included on Animals (a rather short duration album) as it was composed during that session, it might've sounded rather differently (not so much disco-beat)

As for APP, there are a couple disco tracks on Pyramids as well.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

If that's the kind of Disco-influenced Prog/Jazz-Rock we're talking about, then I could play along, I've just never thought of it as something disco-y. Wink

This has some disco-y moments among the more jazz-rock leanings.

Also "set me free" from Utopia's Adventures in Utopia album. Maybe not pure disco but it at least comes pretty close with the drum beat.

"Rock Love" also, same album...

I don't remember that being very discoey but maybe a little bit.

There is a Kit Watkins thread just below this one which reminds me that I hear a bit of a disco beat in the middle part of "Mt. St. Helens" from Laybyrinth and his Early Solo Works release.
