I only recently discovered solo stuff from Maurice Gibb (X-Ray eyes, Secret Agent, Like a Fool, Another lonely night in New York, Don't stop the night). I never heard them before, but good 80's tunes, if you can stand his voice that is [:D]

I could've sworn Secret Agent and Another Lonely Night in New York were Robin Gibb.

yes, sorry my mistake, Robin Gibb
"Boys do fall in love" is also neat, he does his voice in an angsty new-wave-type of style on that one [:D]

The [i]Saturday Night Fever[/i] Soundtrack really ruined any type of attempt in my life to ever listen to any Gibb brother's solo or as a group any of their musical efforts (Bee Gees).

In high school band we played [i]Stayin' Alive[/i] to death every Friday pep rally (daytime), and every Friday night football game for 4 seasons/4 years... We even did a field marching routine to the song for a half-time show. The song has a good groove to it, despite the disco beat!

Can't stand to hear their voices, I'm damaged goods as Gang of Four sings. [8D]

In 1986 the brothers also wrote and produced an album for a famous Swedish pop singer Carola, called "Runaway". They wrote all songs for it. Most songs off of it are on youtube, wonderful and well produced 80's pop/female AOR tunes, though her voice is just ok [:D]
