I'm currently listening to my Bee Gees album. It came on two disks, with a total of forty songs, arranged in more or less chronological order. The first disk includes songs from "New York Mining Disaster 1941" through "You Should Be Dancing"; the second runs from "Stayin' Alive" to "Spicks and Specks". Their shift to disco occurs about 2/3 of the way through the first disk; I much prefer their earlier music.
What's interesting to me is that, owing to a fluke in how I set things up on WMP, the player is alternating between the disks. So, for example, the mournful "Massachusetts" is sandwiched between "Night Fever" and "More Than a Woman"; "I've Gotta Get a Message to You", between "Too Much Heaven" and "Tragedy"; and so on. It really brings out the difference between their early and later styles.
(I've got to get around to transferring the Idea LP onto my computer. "Indian Gin and Whisky Dry", "Swan Song", "Kilburn Towers"....)
