I won't argue with your concept of romance but... "rock"? Smiley: dubious

I work part-time in a jewelry store, and we have a Muzak CD of Love Songs. It's much better than the Jazz one, so we play it all the time.
After five or six straight times listening to the same old trite Ann Murray, the Bee Gees are a welcome change. Plus, they rock.

Anybody who hates on them is just Nobby. Smiley: laugh


Ah, we got an everlasting love
So tall, so wide, so high above the rumble of thunder down below
It’s your love I need, it’s the only show
And it’s you want an everlasting dream
Can take us anywhere are the tears of yesterday
We killed the pain , we blew away the memories of the tears we cried
And an everlasting love will never die

Who doesn't love the Bee Gees?

This is the danger zone
This is where I came in
They know not what they do
Forgive them of their sins
They know they cannot take away
What you have given me

While they have been ridiculed mercilessly by many in the mainstream rock world as being high pitched singing faeries from Australia, they have made some of the more compelling pop music, both flawless in production and sound, ever.

Many of the songs they wrote, the ones that did not become hits for them, were often covered by artists who made them hits. Like the Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton version of [i]"Islands in the stream"
, an excellent Bee Gees song, or Yvonne Elliman's #1 version of their disco melo-drama classic "If I Can't Have You"another excellent Bee Gees song.

/sigh I heart the Bee Gees.

You need a night out.

As I walked through that hospital door
I was sewn up like a coat
I got a smile from the bite of the wind
Watched the fresh fall of snow

I knew then that my life took a turn
I felt strong and secure
And with adhesive tape over my nose
I felt almost demure

Goodbye Sister Disco
With your flashing trash lamps
Goodbye Sister Disco
And to your clubs and your tramps

Goodbye Sister Disco
My dancing's left you behind
Goodbye, now you're solo
Black plastic; deaf, dumb and blind

Bye, goodbye Sister Disco, Now I go
I go where the music where the music fits my soul
And I, I will never let go, I'll never let go
'Til the echo of the street fight has dissolved

I will choose nightmares and cold stormy seas
I will take over your grief and disease
I'll stay beside you and comfort your soul
When you are lonely and broken and old

Now I walk with a man in my face
Ooh, a woman in my hair
I've got you all lookin' out though my eyes
My feet are a prayer

Goodbye Sister Disco
With your flashing trash lamps
Goodbye Sister Disco
And to your clubs and your tramps

Goodbye Sister Disco
My dancing's left you behind
Goodbye, now you're solo
Black plastic; deaf, dumb and blind

Rock? No

Most of my favorites from them are from the 60's. Songs like New York Mining Disaster, Words, I've Gotta Get a Message To You, I Started A Joke and Melody Fair pretty much put them in a class by themselves for a while. I've always had a soft spot for well written and nicely arranged pop. The Bee Gees earlier material showed this to be their strength. The 1969 release Odessa is particularly strong, even though it lacked anything that made the radio in the US.

The first half of the 70's wasn't overly great for them, but the occasional great song appeared. Lonely Days and How Can You Mend A Broken Heart for example, still showed they could pen a winner.

1975 brought the now often ridiculed and sometimes disco-infused Bee Gees with the release of the brilliant Main Course. The hits were Jive Talkin' and Nights On Broadway. The rest of the album forms what is their most balanced record of their career. This is very fine album for a group that is so easily blown off as "disco sh[/i]it".

The follow up in '76 is not quite as good and starts to rely on the disco touches a bit too much. Either way, the songs were mostly excellent and the hook of You Should Be Dancing is fuc[i]
king amazing.

A surprisingly solid live album recorded in late '76 followed. After that came their last decent moment, their few new tracks on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

After that, they pretty much sucked and tried to ride the disco wave for another, in this case forgettable record and afterwards seemed to forget how to write a decent pop song.

I think far too many people have put The Bee Gees in the "suck" category who have never actually given one of their better records a chance. This stuff has held up a lot better to time than I expected, especially the 60's material and Main Course.

Rock? No

Sometimes great and underappreciated songsmiths? Definitely

I like the Bee Gees.

If all you've heard of them is from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, you're missing out.

The Bee Gees have a terrific track record of some great songs. Definitely talented for what they do. But no, they do not, "rock."

I think you are confusing the term, "rock" for "spazzing," "getting down," or similar words.

By "Rock" I think she must mean "Suck".

You're right. The Bee Gees can't truly be enjoyed unless you dance to them.

I expected that. You also don't like to shop. You're missing some gene that I got, or vice versa.

Hating the BeeGees is the safe choice. It's like saying you hate Titanic. It takes more balls to say you love Titanic!

I have no balls and don't much care for Titanic but my point remains
