The Daft band name is their initials isnāt it?
Did a superb job of looking like they were in their mid 50s for their entire career

That chorus is brilliant.
Barryās ādivisiveā falsetto gets all the attention, but Robinās voice is properly amazing.

Really donāt like any of their music, but on the other hand have some respect for it. As per various other comments, a Mum and Dad band for me too, but more a bury my head in my hands and pretend that Iām not related kind of thing.
Personal taste itās a 1, but think they deserve a bit more credit than that. Canāt bring myself to go higher than a 2 though.
clive anderson was being a proper dick all the way through there tbf, just low key slagging them off. weird thing to make yer man pack it in but fair dos
Yes Iāve just watched it again and itās far nastier than I remember. Was that just Clive Andersonās interview-style though?
I do enjoy his interview with young Vic and Bob
They shut him up
Yeah on the one hand they come across as quite humourless, but on the otherā¦ I get the sense that The Bee Gees never felt they got the respect they deserved as songwriters/artists. So when someone like Clive Anderson makes constant low level jabs at them it seems fair enough that theyād be like āyou know what, fuck thisā. Wouldnāt have done that if heād had I dunno Paul McCartney and George Harrison on the show.

That said Clive Anderson gets a free pass for eternity for opening an interview with Jeffrey Archer with āJeffrey Archer, is there no beginning to your talents?ā

It was, although he definitely went easier on people he liked. Thereās an interview with Bill Hicks where heās just basically feeding Hicks lines so he can work in bits of his stand up routine and Hicks genuinely seems to enjoy the interview

yeah and its from the very start, just him being a dick. and actually the gag that makes them walk out is probably his best in the interview, which i guess is why gibb#3 is left sat there, coz he thought they were just messing about. but yeah i think fair enough really, he is being a prick, they were invited on the show to talk about their career so fuck him

Theyāll get a 3 for I Started A Joke alone.
3 outta 5
i expect iāll be the only person to vote for their debut
Hmm
I was one of those kids who was forced to grow up with Spirits Having Flown & Guilty permanently on the āmusic centreā
Not sure exactly how much my parents generation knew how many coke habits they were funding in buying these records but there were clues
anyway
undeniable songwriters, with great grooves but could be as cheesy as all hell, sometimes in the space of one song
too stinky though ultimately so Iām gonna give them a 3
and, as great as the verses in LYIO or the Grease theme are, @littlebirds is right in that they really did do that reselling black music back to white America/Britain thing, and quite specifically that mfsb/Philly disco sound - itās undeniable

4/5.
Not my thing at all, but I have fond memories of Beavis and Butthead watching Jive Talkinā, and Billy Corganās cover of To Love Somebody on his 2005 solo album (with Robert Smith on backing vocals) is one of my favorite songs of that decade.
I like the brother in the hat, seems the most affable throughout and then only leaves because the other two have already fucked off. Still throws in a friendly little goodbye. Good lad, shame he died so young.
Donāt like the other two.
