Andy Gibb was never part of the Bee Gees... if he was, he would have been #4.

Well, at least you know what a raving "Bee Gees" fan I was. ;)

Yeah... you've got that going for ya. :)


I can't say I've ever owned a Bee Gees album. Never was a real big fan, but everyone around me seemed to be.

My twin brother wore out an eight track copy of Saturday Night Fever.

From both an artistic and engineering point of view, the Brothers Gibb made some damned fine music.

Was sorry to hear of such a departure but the man had been looking a bit frail these past few years...

Nice legacy though.......

Bee Gees were a great band that wrote some pretty good songs.

I wouldn't lump them into a disco catagory.
