Ananova:

The Bee Gees claim Gordon Brown is one of their biggest fans and listens to the group's music every day.

Robin Gibb, 58, said that the Prime Minister described their music as "absolutely timeless".

Mr Gibb told The Times: "He listens to our music every day. He said, 'Your music is absolutely timeless'. Gordon likes our music and I like Gordon."

Gibb, in whose Miami home Tony Blair stayed last summer, said that Mr Brown liked the songs, which include Stayin' Alive and Tragedy, "because they talk about human relationships and human experience, and reach out across the decades".

The Prime Minister famously revealed last year his appreciation of Coldplay, Leona Lewis and the Arctic Monkeys, although he could not name any of the latter's songs when put on the spot.

He said that he had an iPod and knew how to use it in a radio interview on Five News, contrasting with Tony Blair, who said he relied on his daughter, Kathryn, to work his.

Other mainstream musicians on Brown's digital device are U2 and the Rolling Stones.

Mr Brown is not the only politician to make public his personal music tastes.

David Cameron told Radio 1 in 2006 he enjoyed a "a lot of gloomy stuff" citing The Smiths, Bob Dylan and The Killers as favourites.
