333. The Bee Gees

(May 2021) Episode 333 is the BEE GEES. I divide their music into four phases: (1) 60s baroque/psychedelic pop, (2) early-70s soft rock, (3) late-70s disco, and (4) 80s-90s pop.  It is unfair to dismiss them as a flash-in-the plan disco outfit because of the breadth of their long recording and performing career, and their songwriting and harmonizing talents.  Plus, they did disco really well. My favorite is the late 60s stuff.
