They don't actually suck but if you listen to their songs for too long it all starts to sound the same and you get to the point where you're like 'we get it, enough'.
But to be fair I think FM could've easily gone down that road too had Tusk Lindsey not happened.
They really only did The Long Run after HC, and were done. And they already HATED each other then!

And even though it's comparing apples and oranges, I'm sure the Eagles were marginally more popular than FM.

Greatest Hits is the best selling album of the past century(literally).

Oh yeah they definitely were very, very popular. Still are but now there's a lot of people who think they suck lol. Or just joke about it.
Personally I think all their albums sound like a greatest hits album lol. They're good just not very creative in my opinion. Made many great songs but never did anything special.
I think FM would've been The Eagles 2.0 if not for Tusk. Whether you like the album or not, I think Tusk definitely has an important part in the FM legacy because of that-- it showed they did something different instead of just doing the same thing over and over.

I agree. Tusk is what set them apart from just being just a big pop machine.

The vision of a creative genius...

How did that work out for him, in the long run?

I think this might be quite possibly the greatest post I've read in my 14 years on The Ledge.

Each line in and of itself is accurate, truthful and jarring. this is why I love your posts, please never stop.

ITA. Every time I watch some old YT videos and see Lindsey working on others' songs, putting his heart, body and soul in everything he does, I can't stop thinking about how betrayed he must feel.

But as long as Stevie can dance around her house every morning, I guess it's all worth it, right?

Thank you. SINCERELY.

We've become so divided, and attacks do hurt, no matter how thick our skin.

Again, THANK YOU. What you wrote means a lot to me.

i LOVE your posts too. And when I hear Stevie saying again on the FM channel today, that Lindsey liked to put "a thousand overdubs" and basically passive agressively berating his production style, I want to .... ahhhhhh. She's been saying this in TONS of interviews lately. The reason FM stood out is BECAUSE of LB and his production. The songs sounded different then anything out there and she should be kissing his freaking ass because of what he did too songs like Gypsy. SCREW HER!!!

Forget the other songs, she should kiss his ass for Gypsy alone. What he did with that song is incredible. He took a good song and sent it to the stratosphere. The studio version of Gypsy is probably the pinnacle of what this fivesome could accomplish. It’s truly perfection. An absolutely beautiful song.

And those passive aggressive digs drive me nuts. Please, every song of hers would be “plink plonk plunk dream fairy dust maiden plink plonk plunk” if left to her own devices.

I hope that they never recover from this major f*ck up.

He's the REASON that they are where they are. STUPID, bloated ego douchebags.

Will you marry me? I'll just move to a state where polygamy is legal, anything for the privilege of being legally tied to the King of Snark!

Haha, sure!

So many think that I'm mean, but I'm just a snarky ****. My heart is as big as Texas, as long as you don't fire Lindsey, or spin around like a f*cking idiot.
