I'm with pb. I too appreciate the influence that many of these 'greats' have had on today's music although there aren't all that many who's work I personally care too much for. The notable exception being Queen, they're probably the one act who have crossed over to fans of pretty much all genres. They were a great band and one who's work has stood the test of time.

Considering members of the Eagles "infiltrated" just about every musical outlet going, it's pretty rare that you'd find someone who doesn't have a favourite that's linked in some way to them.
Glenn Frey for example did music for such wonders of the cinema as Beverley Hills Cop.
His pal, Danny Elfman, is responsible for The Simpsons and pretty much every Tim Burton film apart from countless others.
In fact, I think pretty much each and every long term member of the Eagles has had a solo career also, and each and every one has written, produced, co-starred with countless other big names.
Just another example of what I consider the True Greats.[/i]
I'm not sure if I'm speaking in English any more or not!!
Just because I don't like The Eagles music (as in 'I don't like to sit down and listen to their music by choice') doesn't mean I don't appreciate what influence they've had on music. Sheesh.
I don't really like most of Elvis' music either but he's had a big influence on many artists and bands.

It's a personal thing, like all music, especially songs with strong lyrics. Just like a favourite poem or book will mean far more to some and nothing to others.

I saw that. Wasn't in to their music, other than the obvious, but certainly an influential band.
Surprised pb but then again
... I'm Taking it Easy ...
Then there was Joe Walsh ... Rocky Mountain Way...
pb ... there are too many Glenn Frey/ Eagles's hits to list here ... influential or not, but a brilliant musician and band ...
So I have ...a Peaceful Easy Feeling ... ....
that is a ... Tequila Sunrise ... ....

Surprisingly it was warmer today and without much rain. Setting up a tiny Acer Revo One for Windows 10 at the moment and waiting for my youngest to get ready for gymnastics (which she's already supposed to be ready for)

Oh dear, oh dear ... another legend has passed on! R.I.P Glenn Frey ... so many memories and so many brilliant songs.
