I really liked their early stuff especially their first lp, horizontal, Idea, Odessa was amazing.

yep. like 'em lots.

Honestly, the RSO era disco Bee Gees are a guilty pleasure of mine. I don't often mention it though.

like 'em a lot. especially 1st. Black Diamond from Odessa is one of my fav tunes. very unique lp. tipps, thanks for the memories!

Can't talk about ronald wood having a beer on this site but I guess the F'N Bee Gees are ok with the central command!!!

End of line...

I love them! Fantastic songs! Wouldn't have admit that 30 years ago though...

the pre disco stuff is brilliant. the disco stuff is ok too

Yeah, a guilty pleasure of mine too. I pretty much like their whole career.

Favorites:

To Love Somebody
Lonely Days
Love So Right
Nights On Broadway (especially the bridge)

Emotion w/Samantha Sang

Great songwriters and producers too. I liked the Streisand and Warwick albums they wrote too.

yes...lucky for them, they made it out

The Brothers Gibb! They were very good. Shame about Andy though.. I was never a fan of his, but he probably would've contributed well once he was integrated into the group.

Spicks and specks! I like that one.Yes. They were good.

Oh Yeah!

Red chair fade away.

Love their earlier stuff, particularly their first UK hit:

Here they are doing Keith's favorite Beatle song.

Love them, from all eras.

If you're spiritually inclined, maybe put in a good word for Robin Gibb - he's been very ill, just got out of the hospital.

I really respect that they were able to reinvent themselves from their late 60s/early 70s pop act into full blown disco icons. I felt they were a little like Elvis though, they had great vocal talents that could have used a little heavier material.

Unlike Elvis, they are great songwriters and were deeply involved in the production of their records.

I don't know from heavy - to me, "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" is pretty friggin' heavy, and they were barely in their 20's when they wrote such a world-weary classic.

Don't take me wrong. There is plenty of emotion in their records. It would have liked to hear those fantastic voices on some offbeat, challenging material. Something along the lines of Heroes and Villians by the Beach Boys.

Love em...
Funny this thread should start. Dirving in the car last week, heard "Nights on Broadway", then watched Sat Night Fever last Friday with my 11-year old neice...she said,
'There was so much good music back then..'

They preceded the Stones and Hall and Oates with that blue-eye soul in the early-mid 70s...and they did it authenically and effortlessly.

Some gems:




I remember waiting for this song to come on the radio every night.

I saw the Bee Gees in 1989, I remember it as a good concert.

And I saw Robin Gibb solo in 2004, but he sucked!

The most depressing music ever!

You're welcome Penguin. I was listening to Horizontal so decided to add a post. Yes they are a great band, just love their harmonies and Barrys voice. I hope Robin will be okay.
