The Eagles

[Icy Gull]

The band you fools

Great band or glorified country and western hippies?

Best selling Album of all time as well - The best of the Eagles

Untouchable imo but not well liked by the youngsters I feel.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i'm 17 and i like a lot of their stuff

with most music age shouldn't matter- if its class anyone will like it

 

[Giant Seagull]

My dads a big fan and got 2 of their albums

[Muzzman]

"Well I'm riding down the road,
Tryin' ta loosen my load..."

 

[dougdeep]

I prefered Joe Walsh's solo stuff.

 

[Biscuit]

I wouldn't say the youngster's don't like it.

Im a fan, I have the greatest hits album.
Of course hotel california is superb (if you play guitar its a must know!) but Lyin eyes, new kid in town, etc are quality tracks. On my playlist anyday.

 

[Beach Hut]

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place (background)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
Any time of year (background)
You can find it here
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She's got the Mercedes bends
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget

 

[itszamora]

They are excellent, songs like Hotel California, New Kid in Town, Life in the Fast Lane etc. are all great

 

[Dover]

Please just buy the album Hotel California. This has all the best tracks by far.

 

[Gwylan]

Middle of the road garbage played by middle-aged musicians who'd stuffed too much coke up their noses.

A pale imitation of country music made by people for whom anywhere outside Beverly Hills would be the Wild West.

The acme of blandness - one of my pet musical hates of all time.

A pale imitation of country music made by people for whom anywhere outside Beverly Hills would be the Wild West.

The acme of blandness - one of my pet musical hates of all time.

AND the worst name of all time.

I thought this thread, veiled as a potential Palace thread, was actually going to be about the Eastbourne Eagles beating the league leaders Poole Pirates last night (today's Arsegas, p.58), instead it's about the biggest one hit wonder band of all time outside of The Animals and 'House of the Rising Sun'

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

welcome to the hotel california..dadadaddadaaaaaa!!

SUCH A LOVELY PLACE SUCH A LOVELY PLACE SUCH A LOVELY FACE!

no joking its actually my favorite song of ALL time. the accoustic version is priceless.


i like taquila sunrise aswell

 

[Dave the OAP]

I can't disagree more.

The Eagles was my antidote to some of the trash delivered up on The Lamb Lies Down Album by Genesis, and I got into their music

I have all their albums on Vynal or CD and think that Desperado was the best, followed by One of These Nights and then Hotel California ( the long Run was ok ish) On the Border has some very "country" tracks

As I said on another thread, saturday Night and 21 are two rocktastic tracks on Desperado. Hotel california live on Hell Freezes Over is sublime.

Dave , if you haven't already, buy the Don Henley "Live Inside Job" DVD for an alternative but equally sublime version of Hotel California. The guitar solos are done by the brass section

This is my all time favourite music DVD

 

[Dave the OAP]

I will have alook on Amazon to see if I can find it..cheers mate.

BTW Did I dream it or did you see Third World sat the Top Rank? If so do you remember Inner Circle supporting them? they supported Average White band at the Dome and were SUPERB

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

I agree with Gwylan.

Now then who likes Gram Parsons?

I did indeed but don't remember seeing a support band. The random blowing of whistles by what seemed like most of the crowd came close to ruining an excellent evening!
