re: Are Eagles the best band of all time?

The Eagles and Tom Petty have a lot in common. They are both boring generic bands that put out a lot of pop fluff. Now that a member or two has stopped breathing, many fawn over how timeless the music is. Sorry I'm still not a huge fan , but I dig a lot of Joe Walsh's solo stuff.
Best band of all time? Hell no! They might have been the 48th best band of 1972 at best.

I can see that, although I am an Eagles fan. Tom Petty always bored me personally, though.
Best band ever? IMO not even close. If best means top-selling, charting, easily accessible pop/rock, then they're in the conversation.
And as far as the Beatles sounding "dated", most bands are a product of their times. Beatles in 63, however, were entirely different from the Beatles in 69. Few bands evolved their sound like the Fab Four.

Why is there a Pink Floyd album cover in the OP?
Posted on 12/11/17 at 2:23 pm to The Spleen
Because the op is somebody who thinks the Eagles are the best band ever. Summary: Some misjudgments have been made here.

Not sure why a Pink Floyd album is in the OP, but the Eagles aren't remotely close to being the best band of all time.

I would rank the Eagles somewhere near Fleetwood Mac in the top tier but not at the top.
My ranking would put Fleetwood above them... FM never gets old unlike several of the Eagles' hits.
And of course the Beatles are #1 by a fair distance over #2 where the debate can start.

Whole lot of subjectivity up in there.
One of my he great things about art, nothing is universal.

I'm not a huge Eagles fan, but I do think Hotel California is one of the best rock albums ever made. Easily top 10, maybe not quite top 5.

If you were in high school 1976-1979, the Eagles have left an indelible mark on your life.
Great musicians and vocal harmonies. Possibly the greatest American band....them or the Beach Boys.
Greatest of all time? Probably The Beatles.

I have had the exact opposite experience. The Eagles are so boring.
Without the energy of Joe Walsh doing one of his own tunes, their concerts will induce a comma.

I'd put them in the conversation, but Led Zeppelin should be at #1.
