The Bee Gees: Albums

"How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" kicks things off here--one of the best Bee Gees songs EVER! Jesus, that one's unbeatable. No other hits on here, but the "album tracks" are of such uniform high quality that even without hits, this one's a strong "8". The production on this is probably the nicest of any of the Bee Gees' pre-disco efforts. In fact, I liked the general sound of this album so much that I sprung for the Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs version that's made of SOLID 24KGOLD and ... will last FOREVER, and even when I had a horrible cavity in one of my teeth that desperately needed filling, I refused to let my dentist melt the CD down to make a gold crown, and instead settled for a filling made of mercury-amalgam, which means that when the mercury starts leaking (it will) I will suffer from negative health effects like delusional thinking and debilitating anxiety--but at least I know I'll be able to listen to the glorious title track and "Somebody Stop the Music" and "Don't Wanna Live Inside Myself" for all of eternity, on headphones, in my grave!

Back in the late '60s, when dinosaurs still roamed the land, the Bee Gees were a Beatle-esque pop band going with the psychedlic vibe of the time.

This rotten soundtrack to a rotten movie features just a handful of Bee Gees songs, all of which prove conclusively that at that time they were giving all their good material to outside singers (Babs Streisand, Kenny Rogers, Dionne Warwick). In addition to the four Bee Gees non-gems, the album contains additional tracks performed by Frank Stallone (Sylvester's depressing brother) and lesser artists. "How can there be a lesser artist than Frank Stallone?" you ask. Well...ever hear of TOMMY FARAGHER?

The single was from the band's debut album, Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too, which hit U.S. stores in October and was shipped to European outlets more recently. Riding on the momentum of the single, the band is slated to open for guitar-pop act the Goo Goo Dolls on a U.S. tour that begins in April.

That goal has been the creative spark for several Manilow concept albums that have interpreted music of earlier decades. Among the titles are 1984's groundbreaking 2:00 AM Paradise Café featuring jazz legends Sarah Vaughan, Mel Tormé and Gerry Mulligan. Swing Street (1987) featured guest appearances by Stan Getz, Phyllis Hyman, Kid Creole, and Diane Schuur. Later came Showstoppers (1991), spanning nearly a century of Broadway show tunes.
