I bet you the Bee Gees, aren`t even mentioned in this list. To me they are the most under-rated band I ever knew and the backlash against them for the disco thing the most unfair. First off, not even talking about all the other hits they wrote for other artists, songs that most people would be quite suprised about, the disco backlash was just another example of what happens when morons rule the day, like when Demon-crats get into power. I mean let`s put it in a nutshell; Protests broke out at the end of the `70`s early 80`s against disco. They had "No Bee Gees day" on radio stations and record burnings, and the famous record burning at that baseball park. And what did they replace it with? MTV which played disco, but badly. So we replaced disco with worse disco. Yeah ok. All I know is if a band today came even close to writing one song that was of the quality of those Bee Gee ones, they`d win every freggin` award known to man, and they`d stretch it out into a 15 year career, yet even to this day, the most recent albums from the Bee Gees are still all but banned from the radio even when Maurice died. And let`s not even go into the rap albums that sample the Bee Gees on a regular basis.
