my favourite bee gees songs have been whittled down to a final two by the board.
no real surprises with the finalists.
i suppose there is a strong favourite but as always, please DO choose carefully. give them both a listen with fresh ears. you might surprise yourself and remember... if you snooze, you lose as the poll will end tomorrow morning.
every christian lion hearted man will show you
to love somebody

See... this is what I’ve dreaded all along. I really don’t want to be ‘Davey the Canon Boy’ - but there’s really no contest here.
‘Every Christian..’ is a marvelous, marvelous record. But it is also sub-I Am The Walrus psychedelia. Meanwhile it is up against one of the greatest songs of the era.
Doubtless someone will play iconoclast. But I just can’t.

Yeah, every Christian feels like summat you'd find on a British psych comp. Good stuff but To Love Somebody is one of those songs that feels like it's always existed, like it was beamed down to the Bee Gees collective antennas from somewhere out there in the ether. Great lyric too that captures a sentiment we can all relate to, love and devotion its most ecstatic but also its most punishing.
A classic, a standard and deservedly so.

well, I'm going to have to be a disagreeable iconoclast today. I've heard "..somebody" way too many times and it just doesn't make my nose light up the way "Holiday" or "..started a joke" do after a similar gazillion airings.
I won't argue that it's not the superior song but I like the other one better.
so NYAH. (the sound of a full grown man poking out his tongue childishly)

You're suffering from an outbreak of Coanism. Please don't panic, however, the urge will pass, the fever will subside and that horrible rash will disappear too.
