Aug 14, 2019 · 1. The Rolling Stones. They too caught the disco fever. And it’s probably a bit ironic that an iconic rock ‘n roll band made one of the most popular and enduring disco hits. While both Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood claimed that they didn’t intentionally make it a disco song, Keith Richards said that it “was a damn good disco record; it ...
Apr 13, 2022 · 10. David Bowie. Video unavailable. Watch on YouTube. Watch on. When rockers first started to get on the disco bandwagon, it was hard to see it as anything but cynical. Since this just looked like ...

- ‘Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2’ Pink Floyd. From: ‘The Wall’ (1979) The band most unlikely to be caught in bed with a disco beat tops the list of the Top 10 Classic Rock Disco Songs.
- ‘Miss You’ Rolling Stones. From: ‘Some Girls’ (1978) Proving that even tried-and-true rockers weren’t immune to disco’s charms, "Miss You" found Mick Jagger and the other Rolling Stones slinking through the streets.
- ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ Queen. From: ‘The Game’ (1980) Queen bassist John Deacon wrote this stomp-along, stadium-sized classic after spending time with disco greats Chic.
- ‘Goodnight Tonight’ Wings. From: Single (1979) Wings’ last huge hit began as an instrumental track Paul McCartney had been toying with in 1978. With a motive to craft a single to coincide with the release of the Back to the Egg album, Macca brought in his bandmates to finish the demo.

- Boney M - 'Rasputin' Boney M - Rasputin (1978) • TopPop. It's not often you get a dancefloor anthem that's also a mini-history lesson. The Story of... 'Rasputin'
- KISS. The band who wanted to rock and roll all night made the disco-inspired I Was Made for Lovin’ You. It may seem weird, but these makeup-wearing glam rockers were never afraid to go out on a limb to make a buck.
- Pink Floyd. These prog-rock mainstays made complex, philosophical tunes. They also experimented with psychedelic sounds and very political, anti-establishment lyrics.
- Queen. Queen is no stranger to the sound associated with 70s dance music. Freddy Mercury’s iconic voice is also perfect for the genre. But with the 1980 song, Another One Bites the Dust, they take a more simplistic approach while creating a signature dance tune.
- The Rolling Stones. The British hard-rock pioneers weren’t exactly known for their catchy dance songs. But their sexy lyrics and party lifestyle fit in well with the club scene.

Oct 10, 2017 · 7. The Rolling Stones – “Miss You” (1978) If we weren’t so passionate about rock ‘n roll and so horrified at the idea of our favorite bands foraying into disco, more people would undoubtedly love this song.
