When the final Bee Gees album, This Is Where I Came In, came out in 2001, I thought it was an even better work than its predecessor, the huge comeback that was Still Waters. Then there’s the fact I’ve always rated the brothers’ second international album, Horizontal, above their more widely heralded debut.Īlbums like High Civilization and Life In A Tin Can often occupy the bottom couple of slots for many fans and yet I find so much to like (and even love) about both of those.

Beyond Fever though, fans generally mention the first international LP, First, as well as titles like Odessa, Main Course, Spirits Having Flown, Living Eyes, One, Size Isn’t Everything and Still Waters.īut what of Cucumber Castle? That’s the Bee Gees album that most often feels like my favourite even if it isn’t necessarily what I regard as their best. Gibbologists will almost always talk about Fever at the top of the pile and while that soundtrack – as well as its forgotten sequel Staying Alive – only contained five new Gibb songs each, for the purposes of this article we’ll count them as full LPs due to their significance in the brothers’ catalogue. With an international career of LP releases spanning the 34 years from 1967 to 2001, the Bee Gees were one of popular music’s greatest, most varied and most prolific phenomena across 22 different official studio albums, including the twin soundtracks of Saturday Night Fever and Staying Alive. Put the kettle on, get comfy, fire up the speakers and get ready to dive deep – I mean really deep – into the glorious back catalogue of Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb. So let’s spark up that debate once more! Only this time, with a little mathematics to help us out. Not only have I debated with other fans, I’ve endlessly debated with myself as to what the absolute finest Bee Gees albums actually were.
