The only thing about Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall (Pt.2)" that's 'disco' is the beat. Remember that in 1979, there was a Huge Backlash against disco and the music industry backed away from it by the end of the year. Both The Stones' "Emotional Rescue" & Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" were True Disco Songs & were lucky to receive airplay on Rock Radio stations in 1980.Did you know that Another Brick in the Wall (part 2) was the bands attempt at producing a "Disco" single?
Pink Floyd and Disco in the same sentence... just not quite right.
Uhhh... No, they aren't. Neither have the iconic disco beat (Queen get close, though) or disco arrangements. Disco-inspired? Yes. Disco? No. The same can be said for "Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)" and the Stones' "Miss You" (which is far more disco than "Emotional Rescue").Both The Stones' "Emotional Rescue" & Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" were True Disco Songs...
So many bands went with the flow, "I Was Made for Loving You," "Miss You,""Heart of Glass," "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?"Uhhh... No, they aren't.

That sounds like RogerAfter one of the 1980 live performances of "Run Like Hell" Roger says something like "Nice to know there are some disco lovers left in L.A."
Don't forget: even the Grateful Dead jumped on the bandwagon with Shakedown Street.So many bands went with the flow, "I Was Made for Loving You," "Miss You,""Heart of Glass," "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?"

And if it means anything, Another Brick was also released as a 12" vinyl single at 45rpm for club DJs.![]()
Gotta throw Kiss in there with "New York Groove" and even Cheap Trick midway through "I Want You to Want Me".![]()
You're right, it's a stretch. It just seemed that everyone in circa 1979 had to pay homage to a disco reference, and yes, even the great Cheap Trick gave a nod at 2:57 to 3:12 of I Want You to Want Me. Appears to be a live performance gimmick of the era telling the audience to dance, kind of like when lead singers (of all eras) bring their hands over their heads and invite the audience to clap.Wait: Cheap Trick... Disco....?![]()
Quadrophenia, is the one album to have if you could only own 1 album!Me too! I was just out of high school for a coupla years when it hit, so it didn't "imprint" on me the same way it seems to have done for many others (Quadrophenia was That Record for me). Maybe for the best, as I haven't grown tired of The Wall over the years. Yes it is kind of a downer, but I find it a fairly well-executed tragedy if that makes sense. The decline and fall of a human soul, by Pink Floyd.
I'll buy the hell out of a good 5.1 mix, that's fer sure.
P.S. Not for nuthin, but am I the only one who can only listen to Floyd at night? It just doesn't sound right during the daytime. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Well, maybe "Money" is a good one to blast in the car any time, but that's about it?)
Wait: Cheap Trick... Disco....?![]()
Was talking about nods to disco in recordings. Nobody is saying Pink Floyd is disco. But a lot of bands made a nod or head fake, maybe just to have fun with it. Nobody would say Kiss is disco, but please take a moment to suffer through New York Groove. I guess that was just Ace Frehley solo, but still...No definitely NOT disco
