RIP. The Bee Gees were more than a "Disco group" as CNN called them, they had a lot of hits in the late 1960's and early 1970's before disco even came on the scene.

They were almost a completely different band in the early days. The dramatic change they made is second only to Fleetwood Mac.

Yeah...I liked them a lot before they "reinvented" themselves as a disco band.

Damn, I thought he died a month or so ago. Sucks to go down by cancer.

Damn, that sounds a lot like early British pop rock & roll. Very reminiscent of early Beatles, Herman's Hermits, etc. I haven't heard any of their early stuff.

They're called a Disco band I think because Saturday Night Fever cemented them as one. It made them an icon of the era. Sad that we've lost two in one week.

He came out of the "Death" coma for a rebound.

That happens sometimes.

Cancer sucks, he looked more like 82 than 62.

RIP Robin

Yup. I thought their disco was garbage personally, but they had a ton of good songs before that:

Sure there is some really crappy disco as with every genre, but it is a mistake to throw out all disco b/c you are missing some great music by doing so.

No...disco (both the music and the "lifestyle") was terrible...an abomination.

I totally agree, I remember songs from the early '70's like "run to me" they were so well written and performed, sentimental without being sappy..

 

[preCRT]

Saw him in concert with his brothers years ago. They practically tore the place down with a simple ballad:

Something's telling me I must go home
And the lights all went out in...


RIP

That was only unoriginal since the first reply...

Sigh... .

It's only words, and words are all I have to take your heart away.
