 (4 Customer Reviews)
MAIN COURSE marked an important development in the Bee Gees' career. Under the wing of producer Arif Mardin, the Gibbs turned their sound toward a funky pop/R&B amalgam not far removed from the concurrent Philly International soul sound. The album contained a few major hits; the groove-oriented "Jive Talkin'" and "Nights on Broadway" and the wistful ballad "Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)." The semi-disco beats and synthesizer hooks that marked this album's production didn't crowd out the winsome love songs that had always been the band's stock in trade though, as shown by "Songbird" and the aforementioned "Fanny." MAIN COURSE paved the way for the phenomenal success the Bee Gees would achieve with their Saturday Night Fever-era work.

this CD is the best by the bee gees! every song is classic. this is where they began with that bee gees sound!
great songs, vocals, writings, these
guys are so talented! although alot of
there songs might be considered disco!
i never put them in that category! whether a ballad or a song full od energy-- they have their own sound!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Past, Present, and the Future
Just a fantastic collection! Nights', which may be one of their best all around songs, really kicks it off. But don't just get this one for the songs you've heard before like Nights' and Jive Talkin', get it for the ones you will love like Songbird, Come on Over and Country Lanes.
This collections shows all of the Bee Gees incredible attributes - from songwriting to harmonies to musical diversity. This one has the beginning of Barry's falsetto style along with some strong cuts headlined by Robin. It is such a great mixture that takes you on an fantastic musical joy ride. If you're not tapping your foot and singing along with this one, have someone check your pulse!
Leave this one in the player because you will want to hear it again.

Pink's insistently hooky, attitude-filled pop-rock has kept the singer a fixture on the radio and on singles charts since the early 2000s. The artist's fifth effort, FUNHOUSE, doesn't tamper with the formula: Pink's powerhouse vocals and in-your-face approach, backed by stadium-sized production, are in full effect on all 12 tracks. Even though the album deals primarily ...

Whether you were one of the fans who feared or one of the detractors who hoped that Pink would fail to follow-up her smash debut album, M!SSUNDAZTOOD serves notice that the lady with the pink hair (yes, it still is) is more than just a one-shot flash in the pan. The grooving pop of the title-track is less hip-hop oriented than Pink's previous hits, sounding more like an amiable collision between Smash Mouth and Sugar Ray. "Don't Let Me Get Me" and "Just ...

Main Course album
$6.45
Out of a seemingly endless array of hip hop albums, every now and again something fresh and powerful rises to the top of the pile. Hailing from the Queensbridge Housing Projects in Long Island City (home to Marley Marl among others), 20-year old Nasir "Nas" Jones is less concerned with being an impersonator than with being an originator, bypassing adolescent fantasies and B-boy braggadocio in favor of jazzy beats, rap noir realism and new answers to urban despair.
ILLMATIC is his story, a cautionary tale of the inner-city streets, and as Nas makes plain on his opener, "The Genesis," this is what he does, with or without a record contract, and it's going to be served up straight, no chaser. And because Nas has the courage to transcend popular trends, to separate himself from the ranks of wannabes and ...
