Electric Light Orchestra - Discovery (Jet, 1979)

Break track(s): "Don't Bring Me Down"
Drummer: Bev Bevan

One of ELO's biggest hits also contains a short drum break at the start, and it comes from this disco-influenced album (Wikipedia notes that Richard Tandy called it "Disco-Very"), and that is of course, "Don't Bring Me Down". Even non-beat diggers probably have this album sitting at home, whether it be in vinyl or in CD.

I like that cover, with that guy holding what appears to be some sort of ELO promotional frisbee (no, it's actually an spaceship, as you can see on the cover of their album Out of the Blue). You've also gotta love the music video for this track, especially that giant glowing hot dog about 10 seconds in.
