Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Fans can sometimes obsess about a band selling out, and fail to give enough credit for integrating sounds of the day with the band's own style. To me, that's progressive! Still, I prefer the more traditional Camel style. Great lead guitar licks though!

I am now somewhat obsessed with this song.
 Camel doing a song with obvious disco influence?? I don't even like disco but I like this song. |

Another Brick In The Wall a 3 part mini concept disco prog thing. Just get the riff from Set The Controls put it to a straight rock back beat, garnish with clean swung guitar strums and lo and behold... ... tbh I never thought of this as disco but a suitable strong and direct rhythm for the number. Rog was great at coming up with riffs...

The disco influence on prog - Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer - "future of music" - Brian Eno.

There's about 5-6 tracks from Focus' 1975 album Mother Focus that would be classified as disco. Here's My Sweetheart.....pure disco. |

Surprise nobody mentioned Cos' third album Babel, which sound like Canterbury school music goes disco.
in the same vein, one could name Kiss with their I Was Made For Loving You song But that hardly means that either band became disco bands

The opening of Gentle Giant's "Way of Life" is very disco before there was disco

I don't know how accurate my addition to this thread might be, but I really adore Lisa Dal Bello (Dalbello)'s 1977 album featuring Marc Porcaro, Jeff Porcaro, Steve Lukather, David Paich and David Hungate of Toto fame. The album has been labeled as disco, however, I think it is more of a pop/funk/soul album. Well, disco and soul music have a lot in common actually :)

I always considered a great part of Magma's "Retrospektiw 3" as "Magma Goes Disco", by the way

I know many Magma fans despise this album, but I think it's pretty damn cool. |

 ->  ->  ->  ->  ->  If you consider the Rolling Stones a "mainstream prog band" I sincerely recommend you to acquaint yourself with the basics of prog
