"Massachusettes" isn't really much more obscure.

My favorite is Kilburn Towers off Idea. Unbelievably gorgeous tune.
A close second is Melody Fair off Odessa.

I know they wrote at least one great song (How do you mend a Broken heart by Al Green at least is) but I hate them as much now as when they first annoyed me by being whiney and ugly with Massachussets back in 68 on TOTP for what seemed like years. Deeply repellant. In every conceivable way. Can we not mention them again please?

Can you keep your completely off-the-mark and wrong comments to yourself? |

I have a deep and abiding desperation to hear "Robin's Reign," a disc which thus far has eluded all my best efforts to obtain it.

Excellent, but the unreleased masterpiece Sing Slowly Sisters is far, far greater.

There will be a thread about that album with "audio samples" very soon on the other board.

Me personally, my favorite BeeGees song is "To Love Somebody."
No idea what my "FAVIORTE BEGEES song" is.

Great choice, Beck, but gotta say James Carr's version annihilates the Bee Gees' cut.

Burrito Brothers and Janis Joplin did pretty nice versions too.

Because of Elvis' stellar cover, I am partial to "Words".

While we are at this, what is the best CD for the Bee Gee's Best for pre-disco material? Any good recommends? I only know the radio stuff for the most part but obviously that is good stuff.

Jeff, you would LOVE their early LP's. They're all great, every one of em. Some of the finest, most gorgeous pop music ever made.
But start with the 1st, digest, then move on chronologically.
So, in order:
Bee Gees First
Horizontal
Idea
Odessa
Cucumber Castle
Two Years On
Trafalgar
To Whom It May Concern
Life In A Tin Can
Mr. Natural
Then the 70's "hit" years, which are amazing too.

Easy, for me: "How Deep Is Your Love."
It's a predictable choice, but it does it for me.
At least I didn't pick "Stayin' Alive."
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

A worthwhile double CD to look out for is "The Birth of Brilliance"; has most (if not all) of the stuff recorded in Oz before the Gibbs went back to the UK. Highlights include "Coalman" (sounds something like The Hollies crosscut with The Beatles doing "Taxman" and "Paperback Writer"), "Exit, Stage Right" (again, has echoes of "Paperback Writer") and a cover of "Paperback Writer" itself. Lots of other good ones, too.
