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.
They did a whole garbage album of New Wave jams.
Good lord. So Kiss win the worst hat trick.
I had no idea Unmasked sounded like 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.
I love thinking about Scott Walker already exploring deep in the labyrinth of the darkest reaches of the human psyche being like "Yeah man! We're doing everyone's song. Put some handclaps on this thing so people will dance!"
I don't know if that's exactly the reality, but it's how I understand the spirit of this album.
