Which five songs do you like better?


-Already Gone
-Hotel California
-In the City
-Witchy Woman
-Disco Strangler


Now, I'm aware that my tastes don't always match public opinion and I also admit that I do love some pretty terrible quality movies, bands, etc for reasons even I can't explain. But I've never thought of Eagles as one of those. And, of course, there are many other Eagles songs I love - just not as much as these six.

For example, I really loved Mystery Men.

I really love the Eagles.  But then, I've always avoided the radio.  Any time I do hear a radio station, it's usually one of the local "classic rock" stations, where you can't go more than 20 minutes without hearing an Eagles song, a Led Zeppelin song, or one of the only three Van Morrison songs that gets airplay ("Brown Eyed Girl", "Wild Nights", and "Moondance".  Ferfucksake, the man is talented, and has recorded over 300 songs, and those are the only three I have ever heard on the radio!).

At any rate, while I dig the Eagles, I can totally understand where Ivan is coming from.  There are entire bands that got so overexposed for me in the 80s (and again, I'm not even one for listening to the radio much, and wasn't back then either) that I can't stand any songs by any of those bands to this day, just due to my being totally disgusted at a handful of tracks that got run completely into the ground.

For what it's worth, I've always been glad that the Eagles never got worn out for me, thankfully.

Oh, and my favourite Eagles song is "Seven Bridges Road".

My brother would incessantly play side one of The Eagles Greatest Hits.  So, much like Ivan I can't listen to any of those five songs.  Side 2 was also overplayed by him, but not to the extent side one was.  We still joke about that a family gatherings.
