KISS’s Number 11 on the charts disco hit.  This song, combined with Paul Stanley’s outfit, is where western civilization peaked.

That KISS sing I posted was definitely a response to The Stones and Rod Stewart writing rock discos songs.  Chart wise, it worked for all of them.

The Stones rode the disco wave through early 1981.  Here is an extended mix from the opening track on the "Emotional Rescue" album.

And here is Paul McCartney's only stab at disco, which charted at No. 5 in 1979.

I would join this disco trend and share one of Elton John’s tracks, but...well, Elton’s disco album VICTIM OF LOVE is some of the worst music ever created, so I won’t torture you guys with that.

I think with those rock bands, it was more a singles thing than the albums when it came to the disco.  For example, SOME GIRLS, while it has “Miss You,” is not a disco album and the same can be said for KISS and “I Was Made for Loving You,” as the DYNASTY album has rock and pop songs as the other tracks, OK, maybe “Dirty Livin’” qualifies as disco, I guess.  EMOTIONAL RESCUE I guess is a guitar oriented dance album, but truthfully, I never could get into that album, as much as I tried.  SOME GIRLS I love, though.

Now that I’ve never heard.  Sounds interesting.

Even Alice Cooper did a disco song, about the worst song he ever did - and Alice feels the same way, from what I understand.

I think that’s a great song and I love Paul’s bass playing on that one.

Yeah, that does sound pretty bad. I wonder what the story is behind that one? It seems like it comes from a regular album.

Now that I think about it, I’ve always wondered if Philadelphia Soul fits in the disco category? If that’s the case, then Elton actually has done some good disco work, particularly on THE THOM BELL SESSIONS. Here’s one I’ve always liked:

Apparently everyone tried to catch on to the disco trend. According to legend, Cab Calloway wanted to perform his disco version of “Minnie the Moocher” in THE BLUES BROTHERS. Thankfully, he was talked out of it.

From Alice’s LACE AND WHISKEY album.  About three or four strong tracks, but my least favorite Alice album of the 70’s.  Alice was drunk and went to rehab.  Got out, collaborated with Bernie Taupin and made a much stronger album.

Musically, Bernie was good for Alice.  Personally, not so much.  Got Alice into cocaine.

I really like The B-52's first album, I'm not into their later music so much.
