The Eagles
 

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.

I am a big fan of the song Hotel California. Have you heard it? Ryan

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:

I enjoy the song called Life in the Fastlane. john

I don't like don henley and joe walsh. john

omg. :laugh:


anyway, I have a their greatest hits I and II

fav eagles songs are life in the fast lane, one of these nights and witchy woman :D

LOL!

Big fan of The Eagles here. Seen them live twice.

Wow! And here I thought your generation was about mp3's... ipods... and text messaging.

Well It's really my parents'. But I still jam to it. :nod:

Anyone know about how much tickets were for their last tour?

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

They cost too much for me or you to purchase, put it that way. Ryan

I don't even think they're worth seeing. John

Sorry for the copying ry...:D

I LOVE THE EAGLES! :wavey: Just this past weekend in fact, I was up at my familys cabin in northern Arizona, and we drove over to Winslow so we could "stand on the corner in windslow arizona" ~bahaha, there was a statue, and a gift shop! Im gonna look for the pic and post. :blob2:

ugh. overplayed, overpriced, overrated. pablum.

much how many people today see fleetwood mac. good thing we know better.

Do we really? Tbh a lot of people here are too biased towards the band to say if they're overrated, etc...

£75 ($154) for the best seats here in the UK

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.

Gad, an Eagles thread in an FM forum? BLASPHEMY I say! Ethan, 20 lashes at LEAST! :mad:

Love the music.

Hate the band.

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

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.

true true. i think i inadvertently left off the ;) from the end of my post. i was being just a touch sarcastic. :laugh:

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.

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

How boring are The Eagles?

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

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

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)

The Dude: Jesus, man, could you change the channel?
Cab Driver: **** you man. If you don't like my ****in' music get your own ****in' cab!
The Dude: I had a rough...
Cab Driver: I pull over and kick your ass out!
The Dude: Come on, man. I had a rough night and I hate the ****in' Eagles, man!


'Nuff said.

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
No More Cloudy Days

Word. I hate Desperado!

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.

True Dat!!!

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)
