What an unnecessarily and meanspirited diatribe against the Bee Gees.
The Bee Gees #1 disco hits are masterclasses in songwriting. They have interesting and innovative structures, memorable melodies and emotional depth. I suggest you revisit them with an open mind, shorn of the era's production's excesses.
Oh, and while we're on the topic, "I Feel Fine" is a derivative rewrite of "What I'd Say," "Eight Days a Week" is vapid ("Hold me / love me / hold me / love me...") and "We Can Work it Out" is a pleasant but facile Dylan rip-off.

All in all, however, a provocative piece!
Another great piece JC
