Say something charitable about the Eagles.

Then I am a sucker for most anyone with that kind of wonderful vocal harmonies

They did have great vocal harmonies, I admit.

I remember reading that Bernie Leadon was a big reason for the harmonies. He whipped the others in shape, vocally speaking, and worked on the arrangements. That said, they're good harmonies, but they've got nothing on the Dillards!

They played the only bluegrass songs I ever heard at a Yes show. What they were doing opening for Yes I'm not too sure.

Felder's book is pretty hilarious.

Eagles - Get Over It lyrics
I turn on the tube and what do I see
A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me"
They point their crooked little fingers ar everybody else
Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat

Funny but kind of damaging to the Eagles' legacy. They did it to themselves by stooping to that level.

You gotta let somebody love you

f--k the eagles.

good harmonies, tho.

I think The Eagles are great but the fact that they have come up with poo like this makes me suspicious of them.

^^would watch

yeah I hate the Eagles but I kinda want to see that.

Somje of them had interesting pre-band histories like Gene Clark affiliations etc.
1st lp isn't quite as bad schlock as later stuff, and there are some decent live sets from around that time apparently.

paved the way for punk? Even if they were one of the things it was reacting to.

did some good backing vocals on other people's records is about as generous as i can get

Don Henley is now David Bowie.
