I'm listening now to the SNF soundtrack...these guys are incredible!
Some of the production of their tracks is also incredible...
Was Arif M. that produced them?

Do they have the recognition they deserve?

Of course they fuckin' are!

I was fucking disgusted that they didn't make the recent top 100 greatest songwriters list.

I mean... WHAT... THE... FUCK!!!

Are you kidding?!? Bee Gees didn't make the cut?!?

I figured they be in the Top 20 of greatest songwriters ever.

Cloudbuster said:

Their songwriting input is massive...really massive!

But I guess Barry Gibb is only famous because he worked with the one:



She's a very good singer. A free of melisma!

U didn't post your 100 songwriter, Tony!

I wish I was kidding.

Unless you're a music critic, of course.

The Bee Who?

I never thought about it yet!

I really don't think the Bee Gees are underrated or underappreciated. Anyone know minds their Ps and Qs about music knows that they've made an indelible impression on pop music. The current generation of young music listeners may not know as much about them, but that would be said about almost anyone who's been around as long as they have. Who cares that they didn't make some list? They're great songwriters, producers and performers.

they are not underrated to people who know music

Just underrated by folk who "think" they know music. The critics.
They're certainly not underappreciated by the record buying public. 200 million sales attest to that.
But the critics? Guess the Bee Gees were never "rock" enough.

He produced Mr. Natural and Main Course. Co-produced E.S.P. and later produced a couple of tracks on the Still Waters album.

Cloudbuster said:

Maybe the critics can put some more bullshit Nirvana in the Top 10 songs of all time. Now that is SOME bullshit. And I know they are on this list of top songwriters, too. Some crazy people out there.

Kurt was just the Jim Morrison of his day.

Well i do think they are underrated and overlooked. They are not recognized for their work in the 70's, many people dimiss it as "Disco" which it really wasnt, and feel it has no lasting appeal.They also are very underrated for their sixties and very early seventies morning, just for "New York Mining Disaster" they should be in the top 5 songwriters of all time, i do rank them in the same league as Lennon and McCartney, even though Lennon/McCartney almost never wrote together.

Too Much Heaven


How Deep Is Your Love


are my 2 favorites


They also wrote some great stuff for baby brotha' Andy too....

speaking of the Bee Gees...did anyone pick up the remasters of 'Children Of The World' and 'Spirits Having Flown'? Are there any liner notes,lyrics,etc?

DavidEye said:

I told you they weren't the remasters.

Cloudbuster said:

Yes,but are there any lyrics,liner notes,etc included?

DavidEye said:

Nothing, man. Just straight re-issues.

The first remasters are due before the end of the year.
I've heard that they're being released in chronological order so it may be next year before your faves are issued.

Still, I've heard lots of conflicting reports so plans could change yet.

Cloudbuster said:

you know what? Fuck it,I'm just gonna go ahead and buy these new "remasters".I'm tired of waiting for them to get it right not blaming the Bee Gees,it's the record label that can't seem to get it together.

DavidEye said:

But they're not remasters.

Why not wait until the versions with bonus material are issued?

Cloudbuster said:

At this point,I don't care anymore.Besides,we don't even know for sure if we will ever get those expanded remasters with bonus tracks.I'm tired of waiting,I need these albums on CD now.I have them on vinyl,but I need the CDs.

DavidEye said:

Ummm, yeah we do know that they're forthcoming. Just not sure when.
It's a big project, man. 20+ albums and a ton of unreleased stuff.
It ain't gonna appear overnight.
