Seems like many of these 'rockers' did their best work when they went 'disco'.
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.

The most egregious example is "I Was Made for Lovin' You" by Kiss.
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.
