Oh yes I have Ryan. :laugh:. It is a good song, it's just played on the radio and stuff so much though. I really like New Kid In Town, and a lot of The Glen Frey songs on Farewell 1.:nod:

Thats all I really like by them. Never really got into them
Im at the point where I cant stand HC, the song, cause its on the radio here all the time, it seems its either that or Creedence Clearwater Revival [YUCK]
I read that LITFL was written about Stevie and Lindsey

I really like One of These Nights the best though of all thier stuff

Creedence Clearwater Revival [YUCK]

That's sooooo wrong Christine!:)

Ethan. I like Joe Walsh's stuff both solo and with the Eagles (though the best guitar he ever played imo is on the Steve Winwood track - Split Decision). There is one Don Henley track I like and that is called 'Heart Of The Matter', mainly for the lyrics, I think it was written by Mike Campbell and someone else (JD Souther :confused: maybe), beautiful song (in my top 10 favourites) and I have to admit Don Henley sings it really well.

On the border is an older album and I recommend it....Ol' 55 and James Dean are my faves

Musicman408

07-23-2007, 08:22 AM

Yeah, I tend to like their stuff that has great million part harmonies. "One of these Nights and Whole In The World" are great.:nod: Also, "You Belong To The City" although I think that is a Glen Frey solo song though.

I love The Eagles!! I've seen them 3 times. It's hard to pick a favorite song...so today it's "The Last Resort". It'll change tomorrow. ;) Their harmonies...good god! I met Don Henley and he's really a nice guy. :nod:

One song that they do that I do like is their live cover of "Seven Bridges Road".
Other than that, mwah.

Well, Take it Easy was on the radio this AM and I was thinking how much I love them and should do them for karaoke. I grew up listening to them cuz my Dad is a fan. My brother loved them too and would ask my Dad to put them on. They always put him to sleep though! :lol: I love Seven Bridges Road and have a nice live version on my MySpace profile.

According to Iloveallaccess.com

There is a big announcement coming regarding The Eagles and The Dixie Chicks. The rumor is that The Dixie Chicks will open up for The Eagles on the new tour.

I would like to see The Eagles once as they have some good songs. My favorite song is either Doolin Daltin or The Last Resort.

Matt.

I liked the Eagles until I saw them live (about two months before the Hotel California album was released). After that, I couldn't stand them. I think if you're going to come out & play your songs exactly, note-for-note, how you recorded them, then you ought to save your fans the expense of the tickets & parking & concessions. I'd rather just save the money and listen to the albums, since the sound is better, in the comfort of my own home or car. They're obviously not doing anything different to entice me to see them onstage.

And, the song "Hotel California" has long ago reached the plateau of songs such as "Stairway To Heaven", "Roundabout", "Riders On The Storm", "Money", "Another Brick In The Wall", "Smoke On The Water", "Free Bird", "Sweet Home Alabama", "Hey Jude" & "Dreams" (yes, "Dreams") that if I never hear them again, I won't miss hearing them.

**** The Eagles. I'd much rather listen to The James Gang and Joe Walsh's solo stuff than the Henley-fronted crap they're known for. Although I like "Take It To The Limit" a lot. And ironically enough, "Pretty Maids All In A Row" is one of my all-time favorite songs. I guess that's because it's a Joe Walsh song. Hmm.

Some of the songs are okay, but generally speaking... no, I don't like the Eagles.

And, I have to say that I really hate Desperado. Puke.

How boring are The Eagles?

So boring that repeated exposure to their music turned me into a serious Fleetwood Mac fan.

the dixie chicks just headlined a huge tour, why would they be opening up for the eagles? :confused:

yeah. they're too big to open. it could be a split bill, i suppose.

Although I like "Take It To The Limit" a lot.

Written by one of the EX-members...Randy Meisner.

Similar question, why would Bonnie Raitt, who can easily headline her own tour, open for the Rolling Stones...easy answer to both questions...

...M-O-N-E-Y.

(...and, in the Chicks' case, to expand their fan base...they pretty much alienated their basic "country" crowd that made them...and that crowd hasn't, for the most part, forgiven them)

So, recently I have been on a huge Eagles tear. Any of you all like them? What's your fave album and such?

I own both Hell Freezes Over And Farewell 1, both great. Have Hotel on CD and The Long Run on Vinyl. I think I like The Long Run more. :nod:

Anyway, just thought i'd see what you all thought.

my fave Eagles tunes...

Best of My Love
Please Come Home For Christmas
Already Gone
I cant Tell you Why
Lyin Eyes
One of These Nights

its a great song...just got played out over the years. I never liked it...then years later I really listened to the words and appreciated it. It was also, oddly enough, my grandma's favorite song.

My parents listened to the Eagles quite a bit when I was growing up. I play them occasionally.

Favorite songs:
Best of my Love
Pretty Maids all in a Row
Saturday Night
James Dean
Take it Easy (for nostalgic reasons)

Im with K7 - **** the Eagles. The only song I even remotely like is "Take it to the Limit", and as Chili said, it was written by an ex-member. I like a few of Don's solo tracks, but I can't stand him as a person at all. Never been a big Walsh fan either...

Linda Ronstadt does a fantastic version of "Desperado" though!

I think there's a website that you might like to visit:

http://eaglesfans.sonicdns2.net/

It's run by a fan that actually posts on this site.

Thanks for the plug for the message board. :) The main website is www.eaglesfans.com.

A few things......Mike Campbell wrote the music for Heart of the Matter....Don Henley and JD Souther wrote the words.

About the Dixie Chicks.....the big announcement is probably going to be that the Eagles and Dixie Chicks are going to open the Nokia Live LA theatre in Los Angeles in October. The rumor is it will be six shows.

The Eagles have almost completed their new album.....they're aiming to have it around the end of Oct.....Oct. 30th is what Don Henley has said.

Hope to see some of your around our site. :)

Yes, I agree, if they weren't so overplayed, it would be better. :nod:
