POX Eagles

the harmonies on 'take it easy' outdo the byrds. i referenced the eagles in a latest review. i want an eagles is cool revival!

No, you don't. The end result of this is bands like Goldrush. Of which we need NO MORE.

I don't mind The Eagles. But Eagles revival = a host of shite bands trying to sound like The Eagles and that needs to stop.

But oh yeah, you *like* all that Tyde/Beachwood Sparks/Hollywood Hillbilly crap, don't you?

(and round this out with any of the obvious singles... "Desperado" etc) (just not "Get Over It," ok?)

oh, everybody hates the eagles, but everyone hated fleetwood mac until courtney love and kurt cobain made it cool and fleetwood mac is almost as good as the eagles, but not quite.

the new cosmic rough riders has JOE WALSH on it. beachwood sparks, complete eagles rip-off!!!!!!! why would you *not* like the eagles. the fm radio sunshine sounds all based on a gramme of cocaine, angelic harmonies and killer guitar solos, without the eagles, there would be no, teenage fanclub etc.

plus, what about the poor? hearts and flowers? linda ronstadt? the eagles made good on the promise of 'cosmic american music' but everyone forgets about that concentrates on the sub-par music of gram parsons (sub-par when compared to the eagles!!)

"...the cosmic-cowboy instrumental 'Journey of the Sorcerer' (later used as the theme music for the British television series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)"

Marvin the Paranoid Android to thread!

You do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts
Is that you do it to yourself
Just you and no one else
You do it to yourself

I defer to your obvious discernment...

I Can't Tell You Why (best Carole King knockoff evah)

Such a great song...

yeah, incredible song and production

Not really a fan, but I can stand these ten:

My Man
Best of My Love
Journey of the Sorcerer
Take It to the Limit
Hotel California
New Kid in Town
Life in the Fast Lane
Pretty Maids All in a Row
Try and Love Again
I Can't Tell You Why

I like four that you mention, and would add:

On the Border
The Disco Strangler
Those Shoes

Don Henley's a great singer I almost never want to hear sing.

Glenn and Don also recommend:
A Good Day In Hell - The Official ILM Track-By-Track EAGLES Listening Thread

“one of these nights” has maybe my favorite don vocal performance

Yeah, it's not a bad Bee Gees pastiche and the opening sounds like it would make a great sample.

it’s more his smokey tone in verses than the chorus for me

I was actually surprised when I found out Don Henley was in the Eagles. Like I knew him as this '80s adult contemporary guy behind "Boys of Summer, "End of the Innocence," "Heart of the Matter," "All She Wants to Do Is Dance," etc. and it was weird to find out that he had this decade-long existence as a "country-rock" guy almost as old as Woodstock. But yeah, I like Henley as a vocalist - I'm much more partial to those '80s hits though.
