edhunter Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I sang I Can't Tell You Why in my band in Utah. Fun bassline too. Their bio is an interesting read. They basically all always hated each other. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Not a fan. Soft country rock vibe doesn't do it for me. I'm okay with a couple of Walsh's songs like In The City. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 The only Eagle I like is EagleMoon. Awww... :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 The Eagles were very popular back in the 70s, after that their popularity waned. Glenn Frey had some success with the Miami Vice thing. Don Henley had more success solo wise and I much preferred his music to The Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I get the hate to a certain extent. When a band gets as big as they do and has so many overplayed hits it's inevitable that people will dislike them a lot. Mainly because folks are just sick of them. I wasn't alive during their hey day back in the 70s, so i'm rather indifferent when I hear them playing. I like Don Henley solo more than anything i've heard from The Eagles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catherine Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I only have Hotel California but don't listen to it that often. I love to hear the Walsh solos on it mostly. Other than that I am indifferent to the band. Documentary was very good though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadoood Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Nice, easy listening music. They knew how to craft a melody. They bore me overall, but your gotta give them props. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prolix Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I always thought of them as a nice little country/rock band. Nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemispheresserehpsimeH Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Not really a fan. I wouldn't say I hate them or anything, as I do like some of their songs. But they just kinda bore me. They definitely know how to write songs, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Eagles Live '79 is pure gold.There are plenty of reasons to dislike Frey and Henley as people, but as artists they could sure craft and execute melodies and harmonies. The Joe Walsh years are great.Joe Walsh...he cracks me up. Too bad he and Alex didn't write lyrics together.Two of the funniest guys in rock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
