    We need to take it easy because one of these nights I'm going to take it to the limit and then you'll wish I was already gone.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    You thought of that during a Tequila Sunrise, didn't you? Clever, Desperado Dyer. :wink:

    The Eagles have to be a top 5 band for anyone who's seriously into vocal harmonies, right?
    Extensive and excellent use.  Right up there with CSNY, the Beatles, and the Motown greats.

    For me it's that "ni-hi-hihi- hiiigheeets" part.  Can't do it!

     So, The Eagles and Lynyrd Skynyrd seem to have the most backlash so far. Which would make some sort of sense if Huey Lewis didn't make such a splash with some. 

    The Eagles aren't a band that I love, but I find that their harmonies are perfect, and some of the songs are great driving songs. I haven't found an album yet where I am willing to dismiss every song.  

    It's not like he has put up Milli Vanilli's greatest hits (oh lord, here come the Huey fans). :giggle:

    The Eagles sound is a little too Country-Rock for me.

    I do like CSNY,  Beatles(Rock & Psychedelic era) & some Motown.

    True - for me, while I don't love the band itself, I have much fondness for some of their songs (On the Border among them).

    I'd call them...solid.

    I find the placement of Bic lighters directly below rather ironic.

    Funny, because I was surprised at how many Lynyrd songs I liked after doing that poll, while I was not surprised I don't really like much of Huey beyond the radio hits, which get old quickly. I don't know any Eagles songs beyond the 2 greatest hits albums, but I love them both quite a bit. Volume 2 is better IMO. Hotel, Life in the Fast Lane, Heartache Tonight (yeah, it sounds like an Oakridge Boys song, but I love it), Seven Bridges Road and Victim of Love are fantastic.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    As a kid I always thought the lyric was, “There’s gonna be a party tonight” not “There’s gonna be a heartache tonight” lol. Probably my favorite Eagles song.
