Well, I prefer Robin's songs because I love his voice; whether he is 
handsome or not is irrelevent. But what are you favorite love songs, Sal?  
You didn't say. :o)

5 songs that are mostly Barry contributions. I must say Per, you are
consistent! At least these are 5 notable songs and deserving of recognition 
as some of
the better love songs.

I've noticed that many fans tend to be overly partial to one brother in
particular and that's not so unexpected. What I do find suprising is the 
utter lack
of objectivity when rating the particular favorite. Putting 2 or 3 of
Maurice's solo songs in a Bee Gees Top 10 list? Some of the female members 
referring
to Robin as handsome? I think some of you are taking the "my favorite Bee 
Gee"
thing a little too far.

Subject: Robin Fanclub?

Hi all!

This may seem like a dumb question but I honestly don't know the answer...is
there or was there ever a fanclub just for Robin? I know of the Barry Gibb
Record but don't remember there being a club for Robin or Maurice for that
matter...anyone out there know otherwise?? And if it existed...is it still
operating? Thanks!

Peace,
Mary

Yes there was a Robin Gibb Fan Club which operated in 1969/70.

There was also a Robin Fanzine called the Rural HG Times running in the late
90's.

I do recall a club called Mo Time in the 80's.

I think the Barry Gibb Record was originally called Barry's Babes, but there
was also a Barry Gibb Fan Club running in 1969/70 which issued the highly
desirable EP containing "King Kathy"; "I Can Bring Love" and "Summer Ends".

There was a Maurice EP issued by the Bee Gees Information club in 1975.

Gee Sal, the guidelines I read said to list "your  PERSONAL favorite" love 
songs...not  a Bee Gees Top 10 or "hit list".  Listing a favorite love song does 
not involve "objectivity", but is a matter of what someone likes the best or 
what moves them...so 2 or 3 or even more of Maurice's solo songs should be 
completely acceptable regardless of the "utter lack of objectivity" shown by the 
person listing the songs.  BTW, have you listed yours?  I would like to see if 
what appeals to you may or may not appeal to the rest of us.

Have you never heard that beauty is in the eye of the beholder?  You can't 
tell someone else they are wrong for thinking Robin is handsome just because you 
don't.  Although I don't find him particluarly handsome, ( he does have a 
nice smile ) there are plenty of people who do and they are allowed to proclaim 
it.  That doesn't mean they are taking the "my favorite Bee Gee thing too far". 
 If you disagree with their opinion, fine..it is your right, but don't put 
others down like that.  Lighten up a bit <g>  

My favorite love song list:

1. To Love Somebody
2. Inside Out
3. Love Never Dies
4. Don't Fall In Love With Me
5. Juliet
6. (Gasp.. Maurice solos! <g>) Hold Her In Your Hand, Above And Beyond, House 
Of Shame, Walking On Air, and Laughin' Child  (that one should be obvious!)

Annie

Rollers take Far East by storm - again

Mark Mcgivern



FORGET Westlife and Robbie Williams, the Bay City Rollers are the biggest British band in the Far East this year.

Incredibly, 30 years after the tartan terrors' heyday, one of their hits has risen to the top of the charts in Japan.

And the pop legends remain firm favourites in China too.

The Rollers' song Saturday Night - which failed to hit the top of the charts when it was released in Britain - was one of Japan's favourite songs this year.

According to the Performing Rights Society, who monitor air play and royalties around the world, the song was the fifth most popular in a chart of works by overseas artists - higher than any other British performer.

But the band members need not expect a bumper Christmas bonus because of their success - the song was written by Phil Coulter, who also wrote Shang A Lang.

The only way the Rollers could cash in would be to reform for a tour - but bitter divisions remain after their acrimonious split.

Last night, founder member Alan Longmuir, 54, said: "I am surprised and delighted by Saturday Night's success.

"The Rollers still have a huge fan base. The websites have thousands of hits each week." And he added: "Japan was the wildest place for hysteria. We toured there many times and released nearly 30 records. If we ever got together again, it would be to tour

Bass player Alan is now semi-retired after suffering a heart attack and stroke two years ago.

Three other ex-Rollers, singer Les McKeown and guitarists Eric Faulkner and Stuart Wood, are still in the music business.

Drummer Derek Longmuir, who was convicted of a child porn offence two years ago, is now a nurse in Edinburgh.

The former Rollers are suing for £160million in unpaid royalties through the US courts.
