So a lot of what you hear as called Disco is very commercial and give the genre a bad name. Think of it like this, is all you'd know of hip hop/rap was the likes of Lil Wayne, Drake, Black Eyed Peas or whoever flavour of the month rapper out now then you would be forgiven for thinking the entire genre was wack. Same goes with Disco, but since it peaked over 30 years ago a lot of the less commercial stuff has been forgotten about by all but a few 'diggers'. The stuff that stayed around tends to be the more commercial, less interesting and more annoying stuff. Also, Disco was the precursor to House and by extension Techno. These genre's themselves spawning many sub genres. Here the title track of an album I just bought. Seems fitting since the movie just came out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHZCYkHV-Iw :cool:

If you have many soul or funk records, like I do, you will see there is a history of soul and funk acts with disco versions of some of their songs. Many were extended versions of already dance-able tracks with perhaps some additional production like strings or whatever and others were tracks written specifically for the disco sound and feel. I really can't say that it is the same for any rock or heavy metal bands that I'm aware of. Although Disco is a genre within itself and there are bands and acts that pretty much did Disco exclusively, there are many of the artists associated with soul and funk that have dabbled with Disco sound.
