(Moderated)] Just Waiting For Robin
Give up what? Mo has never been a lead singer. I too do not agree with the
notion that Barry was the frontman, sans the Fever period. Robin has had
many leads. Many songs that features Barry on lead still includes Robin.
As far as Barry having the better voice, that's subjective. Barry has stated
that Rob had a better voice than he, again, subjective.
Let's not forget, Robin was also a writer!
Yes, the twins did exist!

Barry and Robin (to me) appeared to compete for group leader. Perhaps it was
competitive creativeness, but even in interviews they appeared to butt
heads. Sans the fever period? Perhaps 'front man' is the wrong choice or
words. I am not saying that Robin or Maurice was the supporting cast behind
Barry, but in my (non-weighted) opinion, Barry was the leader. Even in the
song writing category.
Someone once posted song writing credits to the list, (numbers), and Barry
had written, as compared to Robin and Maurice. I am not trying to diminish
the importance of Robin or Maurice, just the opposite. I do not think the
Bee Gees would have been anywhere near successful if it were not for Robin
and Maurice. But I do think Barry was the leader of the band.

I agree! I've always considered Barry to be the leader, but not always the frontman. They are two different, if not always distinct functions.

True. I've always considered Barry to be the most consistent song writer, but to me, they were different types of writers.

Okay!
I will say this, I wish Barry, the "leader/frontman" would apply his Steven Covey Leadership traits to better lead "his" vast catalog. I mean, 22 studio albums And 15 compilations! Who does that? They will always be known as the "Disco Kings".
