I don't know all of their work but some songs I still like very much. Especially those cowritten by Frey. My 15 year old of course is always playing Hotel California on his guitar.
I cannot believe some of the negative articles being written about the band while there are glowing tributes to Bowie. I'm a big Bowie fan but there were artistic mistakes he made in his career, songs and albums that badly misfired. Every long term artist has those moments.
Many grunge music artists however were closet fans of Bowie and Fleetwood Mac. I believe that helped them survive the 90s cultural shifts. Have to admit that's how I probably became aware if them, because I missed their first phase.
