Bee Gees Chain Reaction:
The 101 Most Oft-Played Gibb Songs!
Bee Gees Chain Reaction is Famous for its award-winning reviews, crisp screencaptures,
and ground breaking links database.  Now BGCR is proud to present the
most extensive Tops list-Our 101 Most Played Gibb Songs!



 
How Did We Do This, Exactly?

     It’s quite simple, really, well actually, it’s been very difficult to listen to all these Bee Gees songs, honestly.  The crew at BGCR searched through their computers and combined their most listened to songs into one ultimate Gibb Listening List. 
      Unfortunately, the play count numbers found here don’t include all the times that song has been played in the 3 cd stereo system, nor cassettes, headphones, or karaoke, much less all our new found listens from records.
     Still we think this is an excellent list for new fans looking for the  best and for long time fans who love a good debate. 
 Besides the 101 divided by category, you’ll find the whole list in order at the end, plus useless factoids about the countdown along the way. Of course let us not forget that all important play count number!   Enjoy! 

Most Oft-Played Album: This Is Where I Came In! 
15 songs played a combined 327 times!
Most Oft-Played Andy  Songs!

Honorable mention: I Just Want To Be Your Everything. We can’t believe we don’t listen to this one on the pc! 
6. Time is Time-11
5. I Can’t Help It-11
4. Flowing Rivers-12
3. Shadow Dancing-12
2. Me (Without You)-13
1. Man on Fire-18

There’s always a run away play count.  Man on Fire is a later day Andy diamond in the rough that captures his best.
 


Most Oft-Played Maurice Songs!

Honorable mention: Closer Than Close. Only in the count 9 times. We watch it in One Night Only more than we listen to it! 
12. Melody Fair-11
11.  Sweetheart-12
10.  Fanny Be Tender With My Love-12
9.  Love Never Dies-14
8.  Baby As You Turn Away-14
7. IOIO- 16
6. I Still Love You-21
5. Overnight-23
4. Omega Man-24
3. Man In The Middle-30
2. Wildflower-35
1. Walking On Air-44

It’s tougher to find an all out ‘Maurice Song’, especially not including his solo material. These 12 are in our opinion 'made by Mo'. Walking On Air is everything Maurice was about. 
 

Most Oft-Played Gibb Oddity: Sitting In The Meadow!
Coca Cola commercial gets us wanting Coke, even though we don’t like it!
Most Oft-Played Dance Gibby!

Honorable mention:  You Should Be Dancing. Maybe we can forget the dance routine someday!
5. Lovers-12
4. Nights On Broadway-13
3. Living Together-14
2. Boogie Child-14
1. Technicolor Dreams-21

Sure disco is what they’re known for, but Technicolor Dreams proves the boys can swing!
 


Most-Oft Played Songs, Sung By Somebody Else?

Honorable mention:  Islands In The Stream.  Kenny and Dolly don’t sound half bad ;0)
3. Let Me Wake Up In Your Arms (Lulu)-12
2. Chain Reaction (Diana Ross)-12
1. Emotion (Yvonne Elliman)-15

One of the most well known Gibb produced songs. Sometimes we just grow tired of hearing men sing. 
 

Most Oft-Played Country Gibby:   Rest Your Love On Me!
Guaranteed to fool any country devotee!
Most Oft-Played Solo Songs!

Honorable mention:  Rebecca. Our most played from Secret Agent is number 102 on the list.
9. Please Unplugged-11
8. Juliet-11
7. Most Of My Life-12
6. Possession-12
5. Railroad-13
4. Kathy’s Gone-13
3. Hold Her In Your Hand-13
2. Gone With The Wind-15
1. In and Out Of Love-16

Okay we don’t have access to all the Barry solo material, so our solo list reads more like the Robin and Maurice show.  Mo’s country feel and Robin’s jubilant How Old Are You are the solo shows we recommend.
 


Most-Oft Played Cover Song:   Hallelujah I Love Her So!
Who wrote this one, anyway? 
Most Oft-Played Bee Gee Ballads!

12. My World-12
11. My Lover’s Prayer-13

1. I Could Not Love You More-30 

 What the Bee Gees do best.  Whether you want to cry or be with that special someone, these bring a warmth to your heart. I Could Not Love You More-the definitive Breathy Barry Ballad.
 

Longest Oft-Played Song:    How To Fall In Love Part 1
6 minute ballad played 11 times! That’s over an hour of the same song!


Most Oft-Played Gospel Gibby!

6. Jesus In Heaven-14
5. Give A Hand, Take A Hand-15
4. Smoke And Mirrors-17
3. Miracles Happen-17
2. Bury Me Down By The River-18
1. Dogs-21

Perhaps a genre the Gibbs are the least know for, their emotion and spirituality shines from the common prayer in Smoke and Mirrors to Dogs’ universal and Prodigal story.
 

Least Oft-Played  Gibb Song:   Until!
The longest 2:28 our computer’s speakers have never heard!
Most-Oft Played Robin Songs!

All the best of Robin’s singing styles are here.  The reason Mr. Natural gets played so much? Even my Mom, the Robin-naysayer, likes it!

 Once you get over the shock and giggles, we’ll let you listen to these lyrics and decide-or blush-for yourself!
 

Best Oft-Played Live Song:  I’ve Gotta Get A Message To You from Here At Last Live!
Best rendition, perhaps their best song ever. We jammed 26 times!
Most Oft-Played Barry Songs

Honorable mention: You and I. Barry’s demo is better than the ‘real’ Kenny Rogers’ version.
14. Sound of Love-10
13. In The Morning-11
12. Angela-12
11. Tears-13
10. Nights On Broadway-13
9. Birdie Told Me-13
8. Nothing Could Be Good-14
7. Wish You Were Here-15

5. Sacred Trust-19
4. Still Waters Run Deep-20
3. Live Or Die (Hold Me Like a Child)-22
2. You Win Again-25
1. Alone-28

Alone and The Bee Gees most famous song- Staying Alive- are complete opposites. For every person that has said ‘Staying Alive? Ew! The Bee Gees!’ another has said of Alone, ‘This is cool! No way? This is The  Bee Gees?!’ That is the musical power of Barry Gibb.
