Quan els Bee Gees van deixar, encara adolescents, el seu cau australià i van tornar a la seva Anglaterra natal, en pocs mesos van astorar l'escena local amb una proposta musical que bevia de la tradició pop psicodèlica de l'època, afegint-hi una manera de fer particular i inimitable. 01 "Spicks and Specks" 02 "New York mining disaster 1941" 03 "Turn on the century" 04 "I can't see nobody" 05 "To love somebody" 06 "Please read me" 07 "Every christian lion hearted man will show you" 08 "World" 09 "Massachussets" 10 "And the sun will shine" 11 "The earnest of being George" 12 "Birdie told me" 13 "Idea" 14 "I've got a message to you" 15 "I started a joke" 16 "If only I had my mind on something else" 17 "Bury me down by the river"

En mans de qualsevol altre, fer un disc triple de 69 cançons dedicat íntegrament a l'amor hauria estat una porta directa cap al fracàs. Sort que qui es va autoimposar aquesta tasca impossible va ser Stephin Merritt, un dels millors compositors del pop modern. El resultat és una obra mestra. 01 "I don't believe in the sun" 02 "All my little words" 03 "Reno Dakota" 04 "The luckiest guy on the lower east side" 05 "The book of love" 06 "No one will ever love you like I do" 07 "Grand Canyon" 08 "Papa was a rodeo" 09 "Busby Berkeley dreams" 10 "Acoustic guitar" 11 "Nothing matters when we're dancing" 12 "Sweet-lovin' man" 13 "The death of Ferdinand de Saussure" 14 "I can't touch you anymore" 15 "Love is like a bottle of gin" 16 "Abigail, belle of kilronan" 17 "Epitaph for my heart"

Tothom sap què és un "one hit wonder", aquest artista conegut per només una cançó. El que ja és més difícil de trobar són els "two hit wonders", aquests que han repetit èxit dues vegades i prou.

Pujar a un escenari és addictiu. Potser per això, els grups mai pleguen quan toca i s'arrosseguen pels escenaris fins que el públic els abandona. Però hi ha artistes que van decidir plegar just en el seu moment, el més dolç, deixant així un llegat impecable. 01 The Police - "Tea in the Sahara" 02 The Jam - "Town called malice" 03 The Smiths - "Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me" 04 Sex Pistols - "God save the queen" 05 Talking Heads - "Nothing but flowers" 06 The White Stripes - "Icky thump" 07 Pavement - "Cut your hair" 08 Simon & Garfunkel - "Bridge over troubled water" 09 Uncle Tupelo - "The long cut" 10 Hüsker Dü - "Sorry somehow" 11 The Beatles - "Golden slumbers" 12 The Beatles - "Carry that weight" 13 The Beatles - "The end" 14 Talk Talk - "Life's what you make it" 15 The Blue Nile - "Tomorrow morning"
