Though they were best known as the Disco superstars behind the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack, the Bee Gees were Pop superstars who constantly reinvented themselves running the Pop gamut of Psychedelic, Folk and Blue Eyed Soul.  Through out it all, the brothers Gibb were always showcasing rich harmonies that showcased their exceptional singing ability.  Their pre Saturday Night Fever career alone would make a case for the Rock and Roll Hall.

An early figure in Jump Blues and Rock and Roll’s early progression, Big Joe Turner should be in the Hall, but perhaps it should be in the Early Influences category instead.

If this band has to be explained, then this is not the website for you.

Inducted in 1988.  From Liverpool, England 

George Harrison (guitar, sitar, vocals), John Lennon (guitar, keyboards, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass, guitar, keyboards, vocals), Ringo Starr (drums, percussion, vocals)

With rich vocal harmonies and a sound rooted in California surf music, the Beach Boys were easily among the most successful American bands of the 1960’s.  Their basic formula has been copied endlessly and there seems to be no evidence of this changing.  Should anyone ever dismiss them as fluff a listen to their masterpiece, Pet Sounds should put that criticism to an end.
