Barry White, Smokey Robinson and Curtis Mayfield are big influences for me. But I'm also a metal head. I was in a bunch of punk rock bands. The Bee Gees, hip-hop and the Beach Boys are just as much of an influence on me as Smokey.

Mayer Hawthorne

The Bee Gees no longer exist.

Barry Gibb

Sure I'm leaving the Bee Gees. I'm going into films.

Barry Gibb

My parents played the Bee Gees; Earth, Wind & Fire; Michael Jackson. The best pop music to infiltrate a child's mind.

Borns

I remember seeing an interview from the Bee Gees and they were like, 'The biggest competition to the Bee Gees is the Bee Gees.' They just kept trying to top themselves and write better songs, and I'm just always trying to do that.

Borns

I'd always listened to my parents' Bee Gees albums.

Britt Daniel

When you talk about *NSYNC or Backstreet Boys - we were like the New Kids, and New Kids were like the Bee Gees. But Girl Radical will be the first ones, and that's a crazy idea. That's what got us so excited.

JC Chasez

Listen to the Bee Gees and you can learn to be a great writer.

Kara DioGuardi

As a kid, my parents had the typical stuff going on in the home, like Bee Gees, The Carpenters. Then I got exposed to what my brothers were listening to: a lot of classic rock, Led Zeppelin. It was around the mid-'80s when the whole Electro-Techno-Pop-House music thing started happening in Chicago.

Kaskade

I listen to everything from Ravel to the Bee Gees.

Lemmy

I was always the one left behind. Out in the streets, when they saw me they'd say, That's just one of the Bee Gees.

Maurice Gibb

Barry White, Smokey Robinson and Curtis Mayfield are big influences for me. But I'm also a metal head. I was in a bunch of punk rock bands. The Bee Gees, hip-hop and the Beach Boys are just as much of an influence on me as Smokey.

Mayer Hawthorne

The Bee Gees who are brilliant, I just love great music.

Michael Jackson

Justin Vernon is one of the collaborators Kanye will always go to. He doesn't fit in with any genres - you never know if he's gonna sing, like, the Bee Gees or some crazy, distorted thing. And you don't know what he's saying half the time. He's kind of like Michael McDonald, like he's got marbles in his mouth.

Mike Dean

I love the Bee Gees, but only the pre-disco stuff. From '64 to '69, I've got all their albums.

Noel Gallagher

While I was writing the songs for 'Fuzz Universe,' I was immersing myself in Bulgarian Female Choir music, Baroque lute and violin pieces, Johnny Cash songs about trains, cows, mules, and mining coal, the Bee Gees, and Ronnie James Dio.

Paul Gilbert

The first concert I ever went to was the Bee Gees.

Rob Huebel

When I was managing Cream and the Bee Gees at the same time - when they were playing stadiums all over the world - it was very wearing.

Robert Stigwood

The Bee Gees were always heavily influenced by black music. As a songwriter, it's never been difficult to pick up on the changing styles of music out there, and soul has always been my favourite genre.

Robin Gibb

I'd never try to be that distinctive from the Bee Gees' sound. I'm very proud of being a Bee Gee and am always aware that I'll be identified as a Bee Gee.

Robin Gibb

Nobody will ever take Maurice's place, and he'll go on with us and he'll go on our music. He'll go on with us as the Bee Gees, and Maurice will always be with us.

Robin Gibb
