Never understood people's motivations to want to qualify their condolences with some kind of negative comment that belittles their contribution to the world. Take it Easy was the first song I asked my music instructor to help teach me. I think I've mentioned this before, but when I was a kid, I had a ton of energy. My parents created '5 o'clock 500 mile an hour time'. They gave me a walkman and a cassette and told me to do laps around the house until I got tired. Three bands I listened to: CCR, The Eagles, and The Beach Boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three bands I listened to: CCR, The Eagles, and The Beach Boys. Well I appreciate your post. i apologize for being so short. I did not mean to qualify my statement. I don't like the Eagles. However music in general is important to me and I legit have consideration for those who have contributed to it and I also realize that many people do like the Eagles. So on that note() I said RIP Glen Frey. fyi ccr and the beach boys were on regular rotation for me as a kid as well. born on the bayou is one of the most badass songs ever made and one of my all time favs. And I have family memories of being in the car traveling with my parents in California listening to the beach boys repeatedly in cassette. I knew every hit - word, drum fill whatever.... anyways I apologize to you for any offence without qualification. edit i am considering using your parents method for my own son.

YEGCanuck Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Unless I was totally stoned I saw the Eagles live in concert in an old venue on the PNE grounds, probably in 1973. As I recall they were the opening act for Joe Cocker. Is that possible? I do remember the ending and it was a good night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. For me it's probably Nickelback. I enjoyed most of the Eagles stuff, although in general you know it's a killer band when your Dad hates it :)). Loved CCR and Beach Boys as well. Favourite era is probably 70's especially Canadian bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favourite era is probably 70's especially Canadian bands. I was only born in '76 but raised on rock radio and Motown. my old man liked the Eagles. Every Saturday morning id wake to the temptations on high volume... he also liked early stones (before the drugs which imo made them better), the boss, beach boys....some Phil Spector bands etc., the righteous brothers. my Dad could sing and play piano but he mostly liked the clean cut type bands - at least the ones that had that appearance. i got him into the psych rock like Jimi Hendrix, the doors...lol...and sadly he died before I could get him to admit how wicked led zeppelin is lol.

Omg!!!!! I thought I was so alone youre so right....exact same for me... "campagne super-nover in the skyyyyyeyyyye"...&^@# I'd rather carve my eardrums out with a spoon. their obnoxious personas are not justified due to lack of talent and originality.... i was was stuck on a sailboat with a guy, a Brit, who thought they were so cool because of their attitude....he was the same way too especially when drunk....just rude and embarrassing... terrible band indeed.

GLASSJAW Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 don't care for the Eagles, but i don't hate them as some do. huge soft spot for them, in fact, as my mom would listen to them all the time while cleaning on weekend mornings. but i don't think i've ever put on one of their songs myself. i think the first few Oasis albums are pretty damn good, though most overrated bands, i think, would be something like the Sex Pistols, Green Day, Lady Gaga (though she's all-but vanished), AC/DC, Tool, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I find it interesting that in 2016 people hate a lot of 70s acts like The eagles, supertramp, etc. Yet wax poetic over Abba, and other disco crap. I prefer pink Floyd, stones, Beatles, but I have varied tastes ranging from classical to jazz, rock, metal. Frey was a great songwriter and guitarist. Was he as good as other legends? Perhaps not. But he gave us such great music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were recruited to back Linda Ronstadt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
