1st - Bee Gees (The)

Advantages: 30 plus years of hits; no "Chain Reaction"
Disadvantages: Lots of rubbish ballads that girls and wimps will like

...What can you do about the Bee Gees? For 38 years they've been plying their trade in top quality pop and disco, and low-end, sugary ballads that have been covered by the likes of Steps, Boyzone and Take That. With benefactors such as these and no real influential power in music to speak of, it's alarming that after Madonna, Jacko, The Beatles and Elvis, they are the 5th best-selling recording act OF ALL TIME. And so, hot on the heels of 1999's Greatest Hits comes this 2002-issued expanded companion of singles, top album tracks and covered songs in a double CD format. Catalogued in chronological order, the tracklisting alone makes fascinating reading as we trawl from the singles of 1967 on CD1 to tracks from 2001's top ten album, This Is Where I Came In.

Disadvantages: None - just take a listen.

...I don't pretend to, and won't pretend to know too much about the Bee-Gees trio.Their much remembered hay day in the seventies, unfortunately passed me by due to my musically ignorant youth. I can guarantee though, I'm certainly not Jive Talkin' (Erm,Sorry!) when I say these guys where and still are class. Fortunately for me, they are a group that as time went by I discovered, and who have never failed through decades in the music industry to capture our hearts and ears.I was bought the CD - BeeGees Number Ones, for Christmas, and after opening it I sat merrily reminiscing to all the songs. As the title clearly states, these are number one hits for the BeeGees, and fan or not you'd be hard pressed not to remember any of the 20 tracks that feature on the CD. Straight from the off, you are greeted by the powerful ballad of "Massachusetts... Read review
