The group wrote all their own original material, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists, and are regarded as one of the most important and influential acts in pop-music history.

Where should I start with them?

>>127076332
From the first album. They're all bangers.

>>127076332
Listen to everything from 1967–70 and from 74–81. The in-between period is kind of meh.

>>127076061 (OP)
Yeah and two of em are dead
What do those influences mean when you're dead?

>>127076061 (OP)
7 of the top 15 hits of 1978 were either Bee Gees songs or Bee Gees adjacent songs.

>>127076061 (OP)
And yet, they suck. How can both things be true? Truly befuddling

>>127078477 But they lived well, homie. You can also live well, without envy.

>>127078480
Dang, son... raw talent.

>>127078538
They'd taught themselves to sing and play musical instruments too. There were no people more gifted than them.

>>127078480
Damn, the late 70s were really their decade. And to think that they were on their way to obscurity by the early 70s.

>>127078630
They were writing all their own stuff even as a preteen novelty group. That’s confidence.

>>127078708
They were also the breadwinners of their family. They all grew up way too fast. And Robin got sick of his family at only 18.

>>127076061 (OP)
I got a soft spot for their early ’90s period. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Dj4OmiuPOuU&si=veigcjnyXAZRepvU

>>127078764
I noticed that Maurice got hotter when he hit middle-age. Early balding didn't really give him favors in the 70s.

>>127078497
Nobody can be this delusional. Smh

Have Scott started the casting for the biopic yet?

>>127076193
I love their collab with Barbara. All songs were bangers.

Everything up to Main Course is GOAT

Lamplight is so beautiful, bros.

>>127078874
covering up his abysmal hairline helped a lot

>>127079833
Yeah, but he rocked the top hat more than I expected him to.

I remember Andy and now I'm sad. Guy was very young when he died.

>>127076061 (OP)
You now remember Robin Gibb's 80's synth pop solo stuff

I love Juliet. One of his best solos.

I still can't believe that I mistook them for a group of women when I first heard Stayin' Alive.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i6iBAuwBODA&pp=ygUYdG9vIG11Y2ggaGVhdmVuIGJlZSBnZWVz

anyone interested in songwriting, of any type, should study these guys.
true masters.

they absolutely shame todays low-effort music

>>127081484
To be serious, there is no comparison between them and the 'musicians' today. Not just in talent but also charisma.

>>127078480
Nice. It's too bad that the US screwed them over in the '80s.

Still a classic.

>>127083747
I miss Robin. What a once in a lifetime talent he was.

>>127076061 (OP)
just casually flexing that you wrote number 1 hits for other artists
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcxfFUGf-zk

>>127084376
I really feel sorry for them. The treatment they reached in the '80s was unfair. They needed to find a loophole and work with other artists to not let the backlash hinder them.

>a black music genre was perfected by a gang of goofy white brothers from Manchester via Australia

>>127084592
They were born in Isle of Man, lived in Australia before returning to UK to live in Manchester.

>>127078477
Are you nuts?

>>127084592
>>127084663
Which country claims them more? Culturally speaking

>>127085007
UK. We (Australia) are proud that they got their start here, but we can't really claim them in all honesty.
They recorded their first few albums here before moving back to Britain. This was a big hit here in the 60s

>>127076061 (OP)
the Gibb brothers wrote this song in the 60s for The Marbles, which featured Graham Bonnet on vocals, who would go on to have a career in hard rock, singing with the likes of Rainbow, Alcatraz, and the Michael Schenker Group
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC1auBpqZ4E

Ritchie Blackmoore hired him because he remembered the Marbles hit. Ritchie being a 60s pop fan, would sometimes get Graham to sing old girl-group songs live

>>127085250
Nice fun fact. Never heard of it before.

>>127084959
>dude these two dead Gibbs brothers were so influential and shit!
They're dead
Let em be dead

>>127079547
Agree

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2sN05AMV9gY&pp=ygUoYmVlIGdlZXMgaG93IGNhbiB5b3UgbWVuZCBhIGJyb2tlbiBoZWFydA%3D%3D

>>127078477
based reflector

Maurice should've sang more.

>>127084663

their parents were from Manchester so we claim them. they even donated to their old primary school here. better representatives than the fucking Gallaghers.

The Gibbs are dope. The deep cuts are amazing. Great thread, OP.

>>127078434
you're wrong, just listen to all their albums and see what you like

https://youtu.be/Hf33wDCvTX8?si=WNlnufTkZHadVmDH

they were also really down to earth, funny and wholesome. just watch any interview with them and you just know they'd be great to hang out with

>>127087099
he sang some but yeah you're right

https://youtu.be/t_8S1ms8LsQ?si=_vHgP58Z_QtIPy4e

>>127080520
i've never heard it before but i think it's a great song, upbeat but a bit melancholic at the same time

>>127089938
Yeah, I love the ones were they were relaxed and just being themselves.

>>127089995
It's about Romeo and Juliet and I think that is why it's great.

>>127089995
I mean, I wished he sang more leads. I'm sure he could do it.

>>127089967
I mean, I wished he sang more leads. I'm sure he could do it.

>>127080208
he has a couple of just fantastic songs too (courtesy of the big bros, I assume)
pretty sad that a guy with such good looks, charisma, and singing talent died the way he did :(

>>127092253
Yeah, I heard that some of his songs were composed by his elder bros. He was talented himself too. Nobody should die that young.

>>127081931
Howso?

>>127092822
The disco backlash in the '80s. They received so much hate because they were the face of disco in the '70s and no radio in the US would play their songs. They managed to soften it by collaborating with other singers but they never recovered from the backlash till two of the brothers died.

>>127092853
yeah, what a shame.
Just like the media in the US started a wicked backlash against the mega-talented Carpenters because of their squeaky-clean image.

>>127092878
Or the Queens, just because they crossdressed in one mv. For a country full of liberals the could be obnoxious puritans.

>>127092913
*Queen

They were good sports on the Norman Gunston show

>>127093580
The brothers were always nice and courteous in interviews, except for one and that was when they were provoked. Their sense of humor was also spotless.Their parents did a good job in raising them.

>>127076061 (OP)
Just imagine if Maurice didn't die in the early 2000s. They could've done more collabs.

Anything new from Barry?
