Hardbopjazz Posted May 20, 2012 Report Posted May 20, 2012 RIP Robin. I liked the Bee Gees of the 60s and not so much the 70s disco phase. But he had a unique voice. Quote
Uncle Skid Posted May 20, 2012 Report Posted May 20, 2012 It was the 70's disco phase that got me hooked, and I went backwards to the 60's from there. Sometimes that 70's stuff is exactly what I want to hear. Other times, no so much. Either way, well crafted pop music. RIP Robin. Quote
sidewinder Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 A great shame after the incredible fight he has put up over the past few months. Rest in peace Robin - RIP. Robin Gibb and Donna Summer within the space of a week.. Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 I am completely broken up about this. This mans music transcends it all. There is nothing like it in all of pop music, or all music, or all artistic expression, in general. ODESSA (Atco Records, 1969) is the Bee Gee's masterpiece. Quote
Quincy Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) R.I.P. Robin. At least he didn't go like brother Andy. Edited May 22, 2012 by Quincy Quote
papsrus Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 I'm beginning to think you folks are a little preoccupied with death. RIP and all, but what's next? A "Davy Jones has died thread?" ... Whoops. Carry on. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted May 22, 2012 Report Posted May 22, 2012 I like the early stuff for sure, and Odessa is a classic. Sad to see him gone. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Guilty as charged One of my fav CDs Finally saw the movie on the big screen a couple months ago Edited May 23, 2012 by Soulstation1 Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted May 24, 2012 Report Posted May 24, 2012 I think the "Horizontal" LP is their masterpiece. Here is a live version of "And the Sun Will Shine" from the late 1990s: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0g057a4JeQ&feature=related Quote
