Dance-Rock

Dance-rock is a form of rock music with influences from dance music, featuring simpler rhythms and a groovier feel.

In the 1970s, several prominent rock bands recorded songs with disco influences, such as Rod Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" (1978), The Rolling Stones’ "Miss You" (1978) and Kiss' "I Was Made For Lovin' You" (1979). Though these fusions of rock and disco were initially met with critical and commercial acclaim, many of the bands were subsequently viewed as sell-outs. Since the advent of disco and dance music, rock music has absorbed many of the rhythmic sensibilities of funk-influenced dance music, while nevertheless retaining a distinct sound and audience culture.
