Sunday Album Open Thread: The Bee Gees' First
Submitted by enhydra lutris on Sun, 02/12/2017 - 3:00pm
Some Albums really stood out for one reason or another, but never seemed to get the recognition they deserved. There are others that I just like to play every once in a while. Back before they got sucked into the talent and soul destroying morass that was disco, the Bee Gees cut just such an album.
There are some ads you need to click through, sorry.
Naturally, this is an open thread too.
Somehow, this seems incomplete without

The Bee Gees
were a lot better/relevant than most people remember.
A link update:
I found a better version of Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms from Yugoslavia TV2. It doesn't look crappy like the other one I posted.
I want a Pony!
Thanks for the video and thanks for dropping in. They were both
better and more relevant than many remember, their good beginnings eclipsed by "Stayin' Alive".

One of the most powerful songs ever written
and an all time favorite
I blame you
I have now listened to 4 million versions, plus or minus 3 million 990.000, of Brothers in Arms, and think the Berlin 2007 version is the best. I will now try to move to something a little mire upbeat, like Dance Me to the End of Love.
What are these guys smoking?
Just kidding, I think? It is Willy after all.
Bee Gees, Glen Campbell, Willie Nelson - Live Medley 1979
I remember blasting early 70s Bee Gees out over the water in Paradise Cove, California. My friends dad had an awesome sound system that could shake the bay windows, and that was the music he liked. Good thing for those windows it wasn't Zeppelin, lol. Thanks for the teenage memories.
Peace
Thanks for dropping by and for the clip. That's an interesting
team there.

OMG thats awsome n/t
Holiday
Holiday was one of my favorite BeeGees songs. Like you, I think their earlier music was better than when they went disco. It is sad that only Barry, the oldest brother, is still alive.
Edit to add video.

Do I hear the sound of guillotines being constructed?

I've never been able to decide which is my favorite,
Don't know if it's Words or Massachusetts.

I almost added Massachusetts along with
"Got to get a message to you" as an extra. The only version I turned up in an admittedly overquick YouTube search seemed really short, however.

Yes,
I always like those two songs too, particularly Massachusetts.

Silly me, I didn't mention To Love Somebody.
I think that was one of the best songs of the era, let alone the Bee Gees.

Thanks for the clip and, of course, for dropping in.
