The Bee Gees were an amazingly gifted group

Easily in the top 3 of all musical groups and based on longevity and diversity probably the greatest group. They had number one hits in 3 decades. They numerous top ten hits at the same time. Robin Gibb had a hauntingly beautiful voice. They had country, rock and of course disco hits.

They wrote and produced songs for numerous great stars. Because people turned off to disco, that detracted from appreciation of how great they were.

They have great work out music too.

You are probably trolling, but my wife rediscovered them about 10 years ago and they are surprisingly not that dated.

You are definitely trolling, but since this is an anonymous message board, I can admit that "Jive Talkin'" is actually one of my favorite songs.

Arguably, more than any other artists, they kind of invented disco -- Saturday Night Fever was written around their songs, and by that time they had already been performing together for almost two decades. But like you say, they wrote hits for an incredible number and variety of singers -- from Barbara Streisand to Conway Twitty to Tina Turner.

Top three band, no. Gifted & prolific, yes, and an essential player in the history of popular music.

The RoWeJos are as good.

Beatles are the best by all standards

The 80s are over; I'm pretty sure this a mainstream take on the band by now. Barry Gibb is an all-time great pop song writer.

Just wanna say I beat Disco Gary to this thread.

Not really a troll although at first I first I claimed top 5.

There are very few musical acts that sold more records than the Bee Gees. Maybe about 5, it really is a dominant band.

And Robin Gibb has an usual but a very good voice.

(This could be a song Donald sings on his death bed.)

Not sure where I would rank them as I find that to be a tedious thing to do, but I have found I admire them and ABBA much more now than I did when I was younger (and I grew up during their hey days).

They sound like trannies. Still not terrible though.

they have 5-7 songs that are absolutely fantastic.

jive talking is probably the best, in my opinion

Ick.

I'll admit that NY mining disaster, i started a joke, and how can you mend a broken heart, how deep is your love are great songs.

It's just your jive talkin' wrote:

I like the BeeGees but this is pure BS.

They made quite mainstream.

Agree with your first three. How deep seemed a little boring to me.

The disco scene is hard to explain to people who haven't experienced it.

Their best work actually pre-dated their disco days; some of it was done when the twins were still teenagers. To Love Somebody, I Can't See Nobody, and New York Mining Disaster 1941 are remarkable songs.

Barry Gibbs is #2 all time (behind Paul McCartney) on the all time song writing list.
