Islands In the Stream, Stayin' Alive and If I Can't Have You.
Thank you.

Chain Reaction was also top - but they didn't do a cover of it.
Thank you.

Isn't Islands in the Stream Dolly Parton and that other dude?

Could we have a Not As Good As Fleetwood Mac option please?

They wrote it, mongalina. :wacko:

Yes, I know. :P
I just assumed these would all be performed by them.

Anyway, I found this demo of the song played by the brothers Gibb!!!

I think there should be a 70s "soft rock" poll...

Barry Gibb is a big Fall fan - by the way.

Cool.

Jive Talking
You Should Be Dancing
You Win Again
:thumbsup:

The Bee Gees - full of under-rated win!

You are a pleb - by the way.

Well, I for one thought a lot more highly of them after they walked out on Clive Anderson.

Why do you hate working class people like me so much?
I've forgotten.
Thank you.

Stayin Alive - as good as anything by anyone, ever!

I refuse to participate because their finest single Lonely Days is missing. :rant:

Jive Talkin'
Stayin' Alive
Night Fever

:applaud:

Originally known as 'Les Tosseurs', an appropriate name if ever there was one. <_<

Not to be forgotten either: their heirs The HeeBeeGeeBees.

Drop dead loser bands!

Always had a soft spot for the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.

One of them married Lulu, you know.

Really? I hope whenever she goes on chatshows she brings that little known-fact up, and then goes "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllll" just for good measure.

The other twin, Robin, sounds like a good guy. He's a spokesman for the Battle of Britain pilots, and has been campaigning for many years for a statue to be built in England that will honour the memory of those brave airmen who gave their lives in the fight against the Luftwaffe so that future generations might...

You're about to write "How very interesting" again, aren't you.

They're religious nutters to and attend an in-no-way loopy "Spiritualist" Church.

The Bee Gees were ruined for me by that Big Train sketch where they had a shootout with Chaka Khan.

Whenever I see them now, that's all I can think about.

Now imagine how I feel as a Roxy Music fan.

I used to love Florence Nightingale. :(

No I've Started A Joke?

Best meaningless/ful lyrics ever...

There are only 2 Bee Gees songs worth mentioning, neither of which are on this list (strangely):

"I Close My Eyes"

"In My Own Time"


Thank you.

Classic tasteless moment:when Maurice Gibb was dying in the hospital, the news bulletin was using Staying Alive in the background.

Nice one. I always liked how Barry Gibb claimed that 'Bee Gee' stood for 'Barry Gibb,' but the rest always claimed it stood for 'Brothers Gibb.' <_<

To Love Somebody
How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?
How Deep Is Your Love?


They made some wonderful records but I think more importantly they were great songwriters, they stand comparison with anyone of the time.

If you don't believe me listen to James Carr do To Love Somebody, one of the great southern soul classics of the 60's. Sublime.

Or Al Green's 'How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?', which is imo Green's greatest record.

They're all great, lets face facts

Woman In Love by Miss Babs - another cracker.

Fucking Jive Talking heading the poll? Good god what is going on. Or are we being ironic?
