How well do you remember when huge rock bands went disco?
Everyone got into the groove. Can you?
In the late 1970s, music fans supposedly fell into two camps — rock and disco.
But, really, the biggest rock stars in the world were discotheque dilettantes. The arena-filling, guitar-smashing, amp-cranking kings of rock all got into the groove. Even Led Zeppelin got funky (just listen to the boogie of "Carouselambra").
For some acts, going disco gave them the biggest hits of their career.
