Yes, it's terribly sad. They were one of the greatest bands ever.

seven years pass...

Was reading this thread: your acid stories

and read this:

Oh yeah, we were listening to the radio and this fucking brutal industrial beat came on, like the hardest most exciting thing I'd ever heard. I was desperate to know what it was, I'd never heard anything like it. Turns out it was You Win Again by the Bee Gees.

That is a pretty hard industrial beat even when you're not tripping.

one Wikipedia search later turns up this...

Barry Gibb wrote the melody while brother Maurice conceived the drum sounds (in his garage[1]) that open the track.

and yeah, it's a totally classic beat.
