I agree with Jim on apples and oranges. The Bee Gees get more flack than they deserve due to their disco-lesser-peers that dragged the whole genre down and the Bee Gees along with it. They deserve credit for actually being good at what they did. Now that I think about it, both the Bee Gees and Def Leppard were top shelf for their respective ruling periods and both suffered unfairly in the aftermath.

And Ferret... randomly grabbing Night Fever to serve up in comparison to Nebraska is like someone using We Got It Going On in the same manner. They are both songs that serve a particular purpose rather than representative of what the band is all about.

"In the event of something happening to me,
there is something I would like you all to see.
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew.

Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones.

I keep straining my ears to hear a sound.
Maybe someone is digging underground,
or have they given up and all gone home to bed,
thinking those who once existed must be dead."

The Bee Gees didn't just boogie and that song isn't even obscure.
