An analogy may be permissible here: the Bee Gees are to the Beatles as Cliff Richards was to Elvis Presley; if the Righteous Brothers embodied virtuoso codification of the rhythm and blues set of conventions, the Bee Gees embody the virtuoso codification of the British group set of conventions.
The Bee Gees' hard rock is generally poor, since nobody in the group is really very good at anything except singing and writing songs; Bee Gee oddities on the other hand often succeed.
The Bee Gee achievement may be measured by "I've Gotta Get a Message to You." Working from a standard story line concerning a jealous lover about to be executed in prison (which the Everly Brothers could almost have written), the Bee Gees with violins and a beautiful organ line build a sugar-coated epic.

The peak of their career was during the late 1970s, and the Bee Gees saturation at this time was such, that certain DJs began to resent them, and called for Bee Gee-free weekends - on one occasion even burning their records at a football event during half-time.
Persecution aside, the Bee Gees saw continued success in Europe, during the 1980s, and during the 1990s, the rest of the world finally followed, by recognising the contribution the Brothers Gibb have made, to not only Disco (a very short part of their career), but many styles of music over the decades.
Amoung the many awards the Bee Gees received during the late 1990s, was being inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame, but their proudest moment came, when they were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

 The Bee Gees : Bee Gees' 1st - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
The debut long-player by the Bee Gees may shock anyone who only remembers them for their mid- to late-'70s disco mega-hits, or their quirky early-'70s romantic balladry.
The three hits off of Bee Gees 1st, "To Love Somebody," "New York Mining Disaster 1941," and "Holiday," were gorgeous but relatively somber, thus giving Bee Gees 1st a melancholy cast, but much of the rest is relatively upbeat psychedelic pop.
Robin Gibb's lead vocals veered toward the melodramatic and poignant, and the orchestra did dress up some of the songs a little sweetly, yet overall the group presented themselves as a proficient rock ensemble who'd filled their debut album with a full set of solid, refreshingly original songs.

 The Bee Gees Reviews
This compilation suggests the answer is yes; their early self-reinvention as a disco-soul act yielded fabulous singles like "Jive Talkin'" and the unstoppable Saturday Night Fever trilogy of "How Deep Is Your Love," "Stayin' Alive," and "Night Fever," but by the end of the '70s the inspiration was gone.
The wisdom of their wardrobes notwithstanding, the Bee Gees rank with ABBA as the ultimate '70s pop heavyweights.
But even as that dance craze faded, again threatening to turn the Bee Gees into pop anachronisms, the Gibbs simply stepped out of the limelight for a while, turning their talents to MOR hit-making for the likes of Samantha Sang, Dolly Parton, Barbra Streisand, and Dionne Warwick.
