    Look, I have been around here for ......what 8 or 9 months now.

Thee is something I need to let you know. I do love prog. I also love other types of music.
It's is time to unburden myself.

I ADORE the BEEGEE's!

I have been readiing the ranting room, and I just felt overpoweringly the need to just let you know.

P-C

It's OK, we still love you.

You're also one of the very few females on this site, so we'll give you a pass... Wink

Don't be dissin' the Bee Gees.  Their work pre-fever is top notch.  As pop songwriters they are in an elite group of artists.

Do you get Saturday Night Live over there across the pond?

They did a skit about a fictional Barry Gibb Talk Show that was pretty good. Smile

Hopefully you're referring to their early "prog" work (with Syd Barrett & Captain Beefheart I believe, mid 60's)...Actually, I wonder what that would've sounded like...Maybe a cross between Man With A Woman Head, Massachusetts & Atom Heart Mother...? I'm all tingly just thinking about it...
 
Check out the cover of their first lp: http://www.philcoradio.com/beegees/singplay.htm...Love the teeth! Somebody just released the beavers back into the wild. They are standing next to a tree...

I think it's perfectly OK to have our guilty musical secrets...Wink I don't like The Bee Gees myself, but there are some '80s hits which I rather like (though I would never dream of buying a record by those bands), such as some songs by Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran. Shall I get expelled from PA, or will my female status protect me too?Tongue

The Bee Gees made a lot of great, well crafted popsongs up to ca. 1970. And listen to the title track on the '69 album Odessa. 7 and a half minutes long, quite complex and heavily orchestrated. Protoprog indeed. 

Just remember that prog is also a guilty pleasure.

Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

My wife is a "Duran-ie", so I'm all too familiar with that phenomenon.

Spandau Ballet, eh? Wink

My God, what's wrong with liking Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet? I personaly like them very much.
About the Bee Gee's, they early and later works are not that bad. It's the part in the middle that is the problem. 
 
Just because you like PROG you don't have to hate POP.
Bigger on the inside.

Don't worry, it's not too late to get help. Bring all your BeeGee albums to the Pendragon gig next month and me and Blacksword will perform an exorcism by use of a ritual bonfire of the said albums.LOL

OK, I will also confess to once getting a Bucks Fizz album for Xmas.

One rather delicate question for prog-chick & Ghost Rider and since, ummm..., I'm not sure how to phrase it delicately I'll just come out with it: Are either of you 15 year old girls? If not, then we may have a problem...
 
But seriously, I like Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music (especially Track #3) & that doesn't make me a deaf person, so liking the Bee Gees doesn't automatically make you bad people. I do have a bone to pick with them, though...When the Gibbs' decided to participate in the Sgt Pepper's "film" in the late 70's (presumably as an homage to their original prog roots - see my prior post in this thread for details), I was led to believe that this would be worth seeing & so I did...In a theater...Where they charge admission...Somebody owes me four bucks (not including pop corn & soda)! I'm waiting...

Sorry Prog-chick but your account shall be deleted... Rules are rules...

Here:

Rule 124 : It is strictly forbidden to like the Bee Gees here in Progarchives. If anyone breaks this rule, his account shall be deleted.




Wink

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

Ahhh, but there's the rub (loophole): his account shall be deleted, not her...
 
Prog-chick is therefore safe, in accordance with Rule 124 as applied literally...Duran Duran fans will suffer in their own special purgatory (and you thought Dante was tough on sinners)...Even though I claimed earlier not to be deaf, I do think I have early signs of tinnitus. Must have been from listening to Tubular Bells on "really good headphones" while drinking really bad coffee...What...? What...? Ohhh, never mind...

Music is music... where it takes you, is another thing altogether. The first album I ever bought was the Partridge Family's first and back then I thought it was the duck's nuts. I agree on the assessment of the Bee Gee's commercial writing ability- even through their disco phase- it worked, didn't it?
