No mention of "Cup Of Wonder" and "Hunting Girl" (both from Jethro Tull's Songs From The Wood)?

What about Another Brick In The Wall and Run Like Hell?
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

There's nothing disco to Summer Lightning. Excellent groove (wich Saga and Rush uses a lot in the 80's). Steller guitarsolo and great vocals.
Also an excellent album.
 
Nothing wrong with a good disco song though. Actually Miss You is the only Rolling Stones song I really like....
And Earth Wind & Fire is very, very progressive.

Speaking of disco; am I the only one to have purchased Todd Rundgren's collab with Lindström and Emil Nikolaisen called Runddans? Such a headscratcher of an album - almost on the verge of becoming avant disco with the same sort of ebb and flow feel as the Atom Heart Mother Suite.
Recommended to disillusioned John Travolta fans and folks into pants.

I like Summer Lightning quite a bit. Brilliant guitar solo and nice melody and singing. Also the supposedly "disco" rhythm works pretty well in this one. One could actually even call using this a minor innovation in prog.

I don't remember any of those
As for prog disco I very much recommend COS' Greeneldo. Disco meets zeuhl and Canterbury.

Summer Lightning has a great guitar solo at the end. When it comes to 'prog disco' nothing beats this:

I really like 'Guilty' - and what about Soft Machine's 'Soft Space'?
