Don’t embarrass yourself elphy. You’d have to live to be 1000.

There's nothing wrong with the Eagles. Great band.

I think even Elph would agree that the Eagles were basically the Three Six Mafia of the '70s.

You know who have "standards?" Jazz.

You know who wrote their own material? Eagles.

So I guess you're right in an accidental way. Eagles didn't do "standards," they left that all up to Jazz. You could say the Eagles are in fact the the definition of not having standards.

Just about everyone here

Why would you even include me in that? You know full well I know virtually nothing about jazz, and have as little interest in it. So you might as well say OH could beat me in a quiz about hip-hop or avant-garde. Wozz yer point pal?

The boy done his dad proud.

I’d be more than fine with that if I got to see it live. That was cool. Good for him and whole band.

I once read a YouTube comment saying 'the Eagles are why punk had to happen' and I wholeheartedly agree

maybe I'm missing something but what's so great about them exactly? Every song I click on by then sounds generic classic rock as hell.

Yes and Pink Floyd were bigger reasons but that’s a good thing. One approach plays out and a new one in born. Doesn’t mean one’s bad. For everything there is a season. To listen to punk at the exclusion of yacht rock or prog is very different than playing punk at the inclusion of other genres. As fans we have to luxury to enjoy both. Sonic Youth is basically the Pink Floyd extension of the Ramones and Bikini Kill is to Sonic Youth what the Eagles were to the Beatles.
