Where do the Bee Gees stand in the league of greatness?

[Lemmy_kilmister]

They've got to be up there. And this is a great documentary...on Sky Arts

 

[Unravel_Morrison]

They're incredibly modest guys. They speak really highly of everyone else.

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

Fantastic output of songs over the years, written for themselves and others.

Don’t think they’re quite on the level of The Beatles, but id say the list below is accurate so far:

The Beatles
The Bee Gees
The Krankies

 

[Expat Smoggie]

the impact they had on the 80s was immense -- the disco era was such a fun time to be a teen, with their songs thumping the dance [planet's] floors.

Saturday
Night
Fever

 

[grumpyoldgit]

I think this was one of their best:

 

[Lemmy_kilmister]

I think this was one of their best:

His agent was Dewwick Twotter

 

[Aet290204]

Reinvented themselves in the 70s to become the disco bee gees and churned out some utterly tremendous disco stompers

apart from that, with the exception of you win again, the rest of their output is all a bit meh, I reckon.

Clive Anderson

Clive Anderson

Yes. Worth another look.

 

[Erimus74]

Fantastic output of songs over the years, written for themselves and others.

One of the best bands of all time

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

Any band who sells over 100 million records is up there. Uniquely they also wrote and played or produced 6 successive No 1 records in the USA. Think about their records and then the songs they wrote for others

Diana Ross - Chain Reaction
Dione Warwick - Heartbreaker
Grease - Frankie Valli
Islands in the Stream - Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers
Guilty - Barbara Streisand

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Right up there with The Osmonds and The Partridge Family.

Awful.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

Nothing wrong with The Partridge Family. Shirley Jones could sing.

 

[r00fie1]

Not for me.

 

[Johnny Vincents Motorbike]

above Dr & the Medics, below Genesis

 

[Erimus74]

Far better than the beetles, but not as good as ABBA

 

[asredastheycome]

Live their early pre disco stuff. Hate their disco trash but then I hate all disco music.
