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.
Years ago I would have thought you were nuts, but they were on Howard Stern in the mid-90's and blew me away singing a medley of their classics. Ever since then, I had mad respect for their talent.

Maybe it depends on the area of the country where you lived at the time but the genre was already fairly mainstream in the larger Northeast cities by early 1978 when Saturday Night Fever was released. The movie itself pushed disco into the mainstream across the country to the point where it was oversaturation of the market.
Basically the BeeGees were just built on white privilege.
They stole the harmony and Acapella blend of the temptations, miracles, et al. Added long hair and sideburns and called it something original.
Not
LOL out of 10.

They revived Disco from it's death throws with the songs they wrote for SNF. Disco was actually on the wane when SNF came out, their songs breathed new life into the genre.
They may not be your cup of tee, but this clip of them as kids should convince anyone that they were enormously talented.

The movie spread the genre out of the major urban centers. I'd agree that the genre was waning a bit as those who were around at the start of the "era" (early to mid 70's) had tired of it. Personally, the club the movie was filmed in was one that my wife and I frequented for a while until maybe 6 months prior to the movie being released. By the time the movie was released, we had moved to clubs in Manhattan and soon tired of it ourselves and began attending more concerts of acts of all genre's than going to clubs.
The fact that places such as Studio 54 piggybacked off the genre also played a lot into the increase in popularity as celebrity worship is wont to do.
I've never looked at the Bee Gees as a disco act. They were way too well rounded in their musical presentations to be labeled in that fashion. To me, disco groups were The Love Unlimited Orchestra and the acts associated with Barry White, Donna Summer, Gloria Gayner, some of Harold Melvin's stuff, K.C. and the Sunshine Band, Chic. The Trammps were really big locally and very early in the rise of disco.
They were incredibly good at their peak. Nights on Broadway is one of the top 10 songs from the 1970s.
