People love to rag on the Bee Gees because of the overexposure brought on with the whole Saturday Night Fever mania but personally I always thought they were great musicians and many people don't realize they were cranking out hits since the 1960s - more than a decade before their "disco" phase.

The Bee Gees were very much into harmony musically. So much so that they blended and made a sound as one.

You don’t see that much anymore.

There will never be another song like “Nights on Broadway”.
The Main Course Album is my favorite.

I am the opposite, I hated SNF, disco so bad I went back to my country music roots and only knew the Bee Gees for their 1960s music.

Andy Gibb sounded awful in live performances. One can only imagine how that hag Barbara Streisand hung in there on the duet they did. I thought the only time Andy sounded halfway decent was when singing with his brothers who carried him by drowning him out.

One of my earliest record buys (a 45RPM, of course) was ‘New York Mining Disaster 1941’. It was the first I heard of them, but then they followed with a string of hits before kind of fading by the mid-’70s. ‘Saturday Night Fever’ brought them back to the top with a vengeance. A lot of terrific songs. Everything they touched turned to gold. Here’s a treat from the late ‘60s. That’s Robin singing the opening stanza (which, oddly, was the only stanza he sang in this great song):
