The Bee Gees were better songwriters than the Beatles or Stones....

..definitely

I don't know a damn thing about their songwriting but I sure as hell prefer The Bee Gees' music 50 times over both The Beatles and The Stones put together.

Agreed.

The Stones (Jagger/Richards) were not even in the same category than Lennon/Mc Cartney

apples and oranges.

The Brothers Gibb were indeed better.

They are all great but, with the apples, you could only do that little rooster strut that Mick used to do. With the oranges, you could shake ass.

I think all 3 were fantastic, and that their worst songs are better than 99% of the stuff on itunes hot 100 these days.

We should celebrate all 3 for giving us stuff that we can still enjoy 20-30yrs later.

Then think about all the talentless hacks who butchered their songs over the years and tried to pass them off as their own.

Beatles
Stones
Bee Gees

You owe me $5. I caught the big fish....again

Just bought the Bee Gees Greatest the other day. I love it. Can't get "Nights on Broadway" out of my head! Somebody help me!
Better songwriters than the Beatles though? Naaaa....
I respect but am not really into the Stones. So Bee Gees better songwriters than the Rolling Stones? I'd have to say "Yup".

What about Queen?

I had to remove two songs off of a twenty song mix to make it fit on CD.

Bee Gees-penned "Take The Short Way Home" by Dionne Warwick was one of them.

Oh Good Grief!

They are all good.

Beatles

Rolling Stones

BeeGees

Beach Boys

Queen

To say one is better than the other is really Moot. It's all what you like.

I agree wholeheartedly.

I like all three, but I'd definitely say Beatles > Bee Gees > Stones

Just plain fuckin no.

Somebody lock up this thread


Like Fuck the Bee Gees.

sorry but the BeeGees suck ass

NAH!

The Miracles were better songwriters than the Bee Gees, lol.

But really neither of them can be compared.

The Beatles, Stones and Bee Gees were all great songwriters.

Who the fuck wants to listen to the Bee Gees?

Really.

They make Yoko Ono sound like Aretha.

Again, it's apples to oranges. I see the Beatles and Stones as being more timeless whereas the Bee Gees sound is representative more of a particular era in music and at least for me, it never seems to rise above that. They made great music, but not timeless music.
