* Music/{{Queen|Band}}'s 1979-1982 period comes to mind. Music/FreddieMercury grew a [[PornStache moustache]] [[NewerThanTheyThink (no, he didn't always have one, despite what many fans seem to think)]], the band released a [[GratuitousDiscoSequence disco single]] ("Another One Bites The Dust") followed by an even more disco-influenced album (''Hot Space''), incorporated synthesizers into the band after a "No Synths!" tradition in the studio, and in many ways alienated their hard rock fanbase, especially in America. Queen stopped touring in North America after 1982 as a result, and would not have a major hit in America again until "Bohemian Rhapsody" was rereleased and used in the movie ''Film/WaynesWorld'' in 1992 after Freddie's death. It's important to note that the band was never against synthesisers, they just didn't need to use them because they could make their sound effects themselves and wanted to advertise that fact. Brian May said the lack of synths in the 70's had a lot to do with how awful synths sounded at the time. They relaxed the restriction in the 80's because by then synthesizer technology had advanced to where they could actually use them musically instead of just making loud squealy noises. They remained huge in the rest of the world throughout the eighties and up to Freddie's death. The backlash was entirely in the US.[[note]]It should also be noted the American backlash was not solely because of disco. They alienated a fair number of people with the music video of "I Want to Break Free", due to its use of crossdressing (not a major part of comedy in the US, unlike in their native UK) and the fact that it was parodying ''Series/CornationStreet'', a show not a lot of Americans were familiar with, and they also picked up a major stigma after performing at Sun City in South Africa in late 1984 during the anti-apartheid boycotts.[[/note]] "Another One Bites the Dust" is not generally classified as Disco in the [[ValuesDissonance rest of the world]] either.
