you mean you're only fan of the 60s Stones?

Yup.

Hmm. Nick Cave eh? Well now I love him but I wonder if he'd be in your general boulevard of enjoyment. Most of his songs are quite dark and deal with violent themes (not all but a lot) and his early stuff can be quite chaotic. Personally, if you're gonna explore Cave I'd recommend a lantern on your helmet and a pickaxe, but if you're gonna explore the music of Nick Cave I'd go for
The Boatman's Call
Henry's Dream
The Good Son
Murder Ballads
And No More Shall We Part
Let Love In

then his more recent stuff like
The Skeleton Tree
Push the Sky Away
(I have yet to listen to Ghosteen)

Anything else might be a case of personal taste, but I'm still working on those.

Also if you find you like Cave and aren't already familiar with him you might want to check out Tom Waits. Could be a shock though. Try
Heartattack and Vine
Blue Valentine
Small Change
to ease you in

then go for
Rain Dogs
Swordfishtrombones
and on from there

I can't add any depth to Trollheart's thorough advice (and I only know a few of his albums anyway) but since it's supremely beautiful a good song to start with may be

It's a funny thing about that/those albums - the two were released together and I really like The Lyre of Orpheus but found Abattoir Blues not so good. I think the former is all the slower, ballad-like songs which is probably why I like it better. I also found Dig, Lazarus, Dig! a big disappointment.

I don't really think that Nick Cave is really my cup of tea :o:
Another band I'm really into right now (although I already mentioned that I like them) are the Bee Gees. I know that many people don't like them (or don't want to admit it) because there's the general thought that they only made disco music, that they were just a commercial product, etc. And although I've always liked the disco stuff and the early hit "To Love Somebody", I recently discovered many of their early songs and I really like them, being "I Started A Joke" my favourite one. I know many songs by them but never listened to a full album.
Apart from that, I had no idea that 2 songs that I love, Woman in Love by Barbra Streisand and Heartbreaker by Dionne Warwick, had been written by them, so that has just made me have a more positive opinion.
So my question was, what do youthink about the Bee Gees, and which album do you think is their best one.
Edit:
My favourite Bee Gees songs:
New York Mining Disaster 1941
To Love Somebody
I've Gotta Get A Message To You
Massachussets
Words
I Started A Joke
How Can You Mend A Broken Heart
You Should Be Dancing
Night Fever
Stayin' Alive
How Deep Is Your Love
Too Much Heaven
Tragedy

"Massachusetts" for the win. Also check out Barry and Streisand on "Guilty", written the three Bee Gees.


Then there's "Emotion" made a hit by Samantha Song but also recorded by them in 1977

Both are OK, although I prefer Guilty. Cool songs :thumb:

Also, what do you think about their album Odessa?
Is it OK?
P.S. I'm starting to think an official Bee Gees thread is necessary here :laughing:

That doesn't surprise me, re: the darkness and violence Trollheart mentioned. To be honest I like Nick Cave but I'm not that into him, although he has some fantastic stuff and I love his older band The Birthday Party
I haven't listened to the whole album(s) that much and it's been a while, so I don't have a very distinct idea of it, but they definitely have a very different feel. Funnily enough I think I like the Lyre of Orpheus better. My favourite Nick Cave album is Let Love In, I haven't given many of his others a proper chance but maybe I should
