I don't think you can really say a ha was better than the eagles...

 

llol. talk to Segue Myles.

 

Mick

 

A-Ha are woefully overlooked as a one hit wonder.

 

Better than Eagles?

 

Honestly I think Limp Bizkit was better than Eagles. And I hate that band.

I like them. They're mostly a "greatest hits" band for me. I'll take them any day over Queen, or early Genesis, or Porkpie Hat though.

RnB...can't be!

 

I know. Sorry, man. Those bands do nothing for me.

I think the disses of Queen and early Genesis must have silently lured me here. Now that I'm here, I do like the Eagles, but not half as much as Queen and Genesis (both eras). I've never really understood what people hate about them, other than their personalities. Great songs, perfect senses of harmony and melody, great variety. Yeah they got a little soft towards the end, and yeah they were more country than rock at times, but I just don't see how that's a bad thing. They never claimed to be a heavy rock band in the first place.

 

Again: GREAT songs.

 

 

But I prefer my first and fourth favorite bands :P

Not even their Prog stuff? Queen was more Prog-like than Prog at times.

Queen introduced me to prog before Rush, before Yes, before Floyd, and long before Genesis.

 

The Prophet's Song

The March Of The Black Queen

Father To Son

In The Lap Of The Gods

Millionaire Waltz

My Fairy King

Great King Rat, Liar, and Was It All Worth It (to an extent)

Innuendo

 

And of course

 

Bohemian Rhapsody

Don Henley had some really lousy things to say about Rush in '02 when they were getting ready to tour again.

Doesn't have anything to do with the Eagles music though.

And members of this forum have really lousy things to say about Rush!

Quite. Rush have been shit nearly as long as The Eagles have.

Comfortably in my top-10 all-time favorite bands. Saw them 7 times and never once left thinking they were anything but fabulous.

Henley is probably my 2nd favorite lyricist just behind Dylan.

I've had a rough night but I don't necessarily hate the Effen Eagles. Don Henley is kind of a pratt though. Glenn is dead so I won't talk shit about him. If it wasn't for Joe Walsh I probably would hate the Eagles though.

 

Oh and Timothy B Schmidt's vocals on I Can't Tell You Why are golden. Total yacht rock classic.

Walsh and Schmidt were a couple of great pickups for the band.

Agreed but not feeling any love for my favorite Eagle, Don felder. Every guitar solo he played in that band was awesome.

Felder is a helluva player.They missed him after he was gone IMO.

He's got some good solo stuff.

I used to like them until I watched a documentary about them.

 

Sometimes the less you know about the personalities in a band, the better off you are.

 

 

Edit: I still like some of their songs, but Glen and Don were obnoxious.

Ah, the Eaglezzzzzzzzzz........

 

Joe Walsh in the Eaglezzz was like putting Richie Blackmore in the Osmonds.

I way prefer Joe's work, solo and with the James Gang, over ANY Eagles shite!
