That's a typically painful and tone-deaf review from the "Dean" up there.

wow check the Wiki page about the Ozark Music Festival - i've never seen so many "citation needed"s on one page. Seems like good times, except for the water shortage. Was the Marshall Tucker Band really considered a bigger draw than Bruce Springsteen or Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1974? (Bruce apparently didn't make the show)

It's a good format for a thread, but I'd expect ilx to do this first for a band it likes a lot more. I feel like we are being drawn to The Eagles like a dog is drawn to a rotting carcass.
― 29 facepalms, Tuesday, 20 August 2013 21:45 (ten years ago) link
ILM kinda does this with its readers polls, counting down to the most favorite song.
But with the Eagles, I don't think anyone wants to be caught casting that ballot.
― pplains, Tuesday, 20 August 2013 21:46 (ten years ago) link
Sure, though this way we talk about *every* song? I suppose we can enjoy working ourselves into an ecstasy of disgust.

I was watching a punk documentary tonight and they showed a big blow-up of the Jubilee chart with a big white box at no.1 where The Sex Pistols should've been. There at no.2, top of the charts by default, rides Hotel California.

I'm not sure I ever knew about the Ozark Mountain Festival. This is kinda blowing my mind:
Posters for the festival announced that some of the best bands in country and southern rock would be performing, including:
Bachman–Turner Overdrive Aerosmith Premiata Forneria Marconi

"but I'd expect ilx to do this first for a band it likes a lot more."
see i was actually thinking yesterday that it would be fun for bands that i (and others here) have never listened to. except for, like, one hit. like Timbuk 3 or something. but then i remembered that a lot of groups i have forgotten about have put out a zillion records when nobody was looking. there might be 20 Timbuk 3 albums that i don't know about and there ain't no way i'm doing that. it would have to be a manageable discography.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 21 August 2013 00:44 (ten years ago) link
weirdly the eagles are like the perfect band to try this with
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 21 August 2013 00:46 (ten years ago) link
yeah, they are good. well, just thinking about songs that you've heard a million times until you don't hear them anymore can be a good exercise.
and i don't really want to listen to lots of timbuk 3 albums.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 21 August 2013 00:54 (ten years ago) link
somehow it feels like the Eagles made way more than 6 studio albums (7 including the 2007 post-reunion album) given their omnipresence
― Lee626, Wednesday, 21 August 2013 00:58 (ten years ago) link
i was surprised that don henley didn't put out anything in the 90's. he must have been walking in the woods. 11 years between the end of the innocence and his album from 2000.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 21 August 2013 01:01 (ten years ago) link
He had some new bait songs on his hits package, and..."Get Over It".
― Uncle Cyril O'Boogie (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 21 August 2013 01:03 (ten years ago) link
the mellow don henley of the year 2000:
You could have given us the finger Much more constructively than that Now I sit here with the MTV And your bloated, Burmese cat We're being treated to the wisdom Of some puffed up little fart Doing exactly what I used to do Pretentions to anarchy and art He speaks the language of a warrior He mounts his misinformed attack He wears the clothes of a dissenter But there's a logo on his back And it's a hollow rebellion As rebellions mostly are It's just another raging tempest in a jar

Henley in the '90s...

In To The Limit, he mentions the video had to be edited down for consideration for airtime on MTV (yeah right) & VH1. "There was too much talkin' in it...the only white guy they want rappin' on MTV is Vanilla Ice."
