My favorite Eagles songs were sung by Glenn Frey. He seemed like a first class dick but had that rare ability to be so endearingly.

I always thought "The Heat is On" was by Loggins and Messina and "You Belong to the City" was by Jefferson Starship.

The Heat is On is more of a stylistic lift of Loggins than any band has ever been of Pearl Jam, yeah.

And yeah, Frey was a top shelf douche. He is mesmerizingly shitty in certain parts of that documentary.

Dave Grohl is getting his Eagles tattoo as we speak.

The Long Run and Hotel California are damn fine albums. Not liking the Eagles is a bit like not liking Dark Side of the Moon. I can understand personal tastes in not liking it/them but not the people who put it/them down as garbage.

I've never really understood the meme-level Eagles hatred. I like the few songs I've heard.

Someone name a song that exemplifies why people hate them so much.

I mean, they didn't do anything groundbreaking, but it is still decent to listen to. I don't mind them at all.

i'm not an eagles hater, but an old friend (we were both huge pearl jam fans back in the day) posted this on facebook:

"Glenn Frey died. In my opinion, he was the greatest and most influential songwriter of all time. A sad day for musicians all over the world."

No, he has to be schticking. For the same reason I can't imagine anyone LOVING the eagles, i can't imagine why anyone would HATE them.

I don't know that it's hate, but I would actively avoid listening to them - to be it's just so bland.

This pretty much sums it up for me
