10 Classic Rock Bands That Went Disco
3. Rod Stewart
And now we come to what has become one of the biggest punching bags in the history of rock and roll. Whenever you hear people talking about all of the careers that disco has claimed, it doesn't take long before Do Ya Think I'm Sexy comes up, which turned Rod Stewart into a pin up boy who left rock and roll behind. When you look back on it, is it really as bad as people made it out to be?
Well, you can definitely see the age coming from a song like this, especially with Rod's gruff voice not working that well with the beat. Then again, the foundation of the song is actually pretty impressive, with everyone holding down the groove pretty well. While many other rock bands didn't really get disco, the rest of the band seem to know what they're doing, having the right feel to bring something like this across.
The only reason why this song got so much hate is only for the fact that it was Rod Stewart singing it. Since this was the guy who had already given us some classics back in the day, this was the moment when most rock fans started to turn a blind eye to him and think that he sold out. Some bands might want to sell out just to get a few more zeroes at the end of that check, but it's never a bad thing when you can still bring some quality material.
