![]() There are other Bee Gees collections that dive more deeply into their career, but as far as single-disc sets go, you can't do better than this. It's just the hits, one brilliant track after another. All the biggies are here from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, plus proto-disco jams like "Nights on Broadway," "Jive Talkin'," and one of their slightly under-the-radar classics, "Fanny (Be Tender with My Love)." No pop band of the past 50 years had a more impressive chart run - both commercially and artistically - than the Bee Gees, and Timeless does a fine job laying out the facts and not muddying the waters with rarities.

Timeless: The All-Time Greatest Hits collects the cream of the crop from both their late-'60s/early-'70s baroque pop and brilliant mid-'70s funk and disco-pop periods. The Bee Gees were impressive enough to have two amazing stretches when they not only topped the charts, but helped define the music of the era. The shows are part of the gargantuan Joanne World Tour in support of Gagas acclaimed fifth studio album Joanne, which has spawned the anthems Perfect. The bands that do have a run of charting songs usually fade away after making a splash, never to be heard from again except on nostalgia tours and cruises.
