The Eagles are fine but they are as exciting as milktoast.

it's a fantastic song with a great vocal performance.


I don’t disagree with that. I’ll even go as far as to say the arrangement is beautiful and lyrically, it’s very well written.

I just find the overall sentiment to be a bit over the top.

My summation of the Eagles is the fact that the only thing I really ever liked by them was the opening riff to "Life In the Fast Lane". And then the worst thing happens after the riff... it turns into an Eagles song.

You spelled “One of These Nights” wrong.

I consider them bland, so it’s not objective at all. Obviously a lot of people share the same thought.

Reeks of pretentiousness



Jackson Browne had that song in his pocket for years, but he couldn't finish it. You can thank Glenn Frey and the lyrics you quoted for it having gone public,

To be fair, that's Jackson Browne. I think Frey added only, "It's a girl, my Lord, in a flat-bed Ford, slowing down to take a look at me."

This was because J.D. Souther and Frey lived upstairs from Browne while he was writing songs. For example, J.D. Souther says if he never hears the opening to Doctor My Eyes again, it will be too soon. For Take it Easy, Frey liked it, but Browne couldn't finish it. So, he went downstairs to help him finish the damn thing so he would move on to play something else.

Good times..

It’s hilarious millennial hipsters act like they hate them based off of one line in an overrated cult film.


I’m probably older than you and while I don’t hate them I don’t think they are anything special

That's it, I acknowledge they are talented musicians and songwriters, but most of their catalog is just too low energy, I go to their shows to hear Hotel California and the chance that they will do a Joe Walsh/James Gang tune or two.

The Eagles suck regardless of any film commentary.
