Oh, err, like Blondie did?

Oh Blondie, thank god you quit early before the twin indignities of poodle rock Blondie and grunge Blondie. The Ken doll of the new wave.

Always felt like that was more or as much new wave as disco.

Not enough of a connaisseur to draw that distinction.

Do you want to get in the pit or throw shapes?

there it is haha

Does this count? Or their cover of "Burnin' Up" with Mike Watt on vocals?

People in here posting all kinds of dumb shit; stuff like Zz top, Big Black and Ciccone Youth are *clearly* not disco(tm); I thought this would be stuff like Stones "Miss you" or Emotional rescue, Rod the mods "Do ya think im sexy" etc.; Anyway, my personal fave disco song by a "rock" band is probably Chicagos "Street player" (as famously sampled by Bucketheads on "Da bomb"); I love that song which is noteworthy because I normally have no use for Chicago.

Since y'all are being VERY liberal with the disco-definition, I might as well mention Zeppelins "Trampled underfoot" and even Motörheads "The chase is better than the catch" and AC/Dc's "girls got rhythm". Oh yeah, Judas Priests "Burnin up" and possibly even "Better than you, better than me". Sabbaths "Heaven and hell"? Possibly...

I submit, from The Infotainment Scan (1993):

Oh, I know. My point was more that it was about rockers making actual disco songs (see also aforementioned Kiss tune) as opposed to stuff with a "4 on the floor" beat that otherwise would bever be thought of as disco. That said, it might be more fun to keep it liberal so yeah, ignore me and mention P.I.L. and shit...

BOOTS CATS BOOTS CATS BOOTS CATS BOOTS CATS BOOTS CATS BOOTS CATS BOOTS CATS BOOTS CATS

Hey now! "Kerosene" is disco, "Stinking Drunk" is death-rock, and "Copper" is pop.
