That's not even the best one of that strain of Bad Company tune.

Indeed, the Bad Company catalog is an embarrassment of pseudo-disco hard rock riches.

No idea Laminar Flow existed, thanks for that.

Laminar Flow...while an awesome title is more like wretched Easy Listening rather than Disco...but I can't blame you from not getting past the first track.

I like that this was on the same record as The Electrician


Honestly it's easier to list bands that didn't go disco, everybody seemed to have at least one half-hearted abomination ready to go.

Better than the reggae song. Or the rap song.

Come to think of it, Kiss also popped up on the old-forum thread about metal bands going grunge.

Did Kiss ever do a skinny-tie, keyboard-y new wave song? Because then they’d have the hat trick.

Still a great great pop song. I Was Made For Lovin' You sucked. As did everything they did before it.
