As far as I'm concerned, pop music simply does not get any better than "Tragedy" - that song has absolutely everything, it is probably the best single of the 1970s, and damned if the Steps cover version isn't one of the best singles of the 90s too. AAAAAAAAAAAAA! TRAGEDY! etc. GENIUS.

Also WTF, people do you not know "Love You Inside Out"? It is likewise AMAZING! (Feist's version is probably a touch better, but still, AMAZING)

The Steps version is brilliant. Especially the video (all Steps videos are miniature masterpieces and this one is no different), where they are NOT ALLOWED to move their hands until they get to the wedding reception and all manner of hand-jive hell breaks loose.

The Bee Gee's contribution to modern music is a marvellous one and I would induct them into any Hall Of Fame I happened to be in charge of.

My friend Roni and I used to go to a bar in her neighborhood specifically because it had "Tragedy" on the jukebox.
