I like Hotel California from a technical perspective but I lived in a house at Uni with two massive Eagles fans and one other guy who wasn’t against them and Hell Freezes Over came out around then so I had to endure the album and the VHS of the gig a LOT.

Fuck them.

My dad (white, male, over sixty) bloody loves them. I’ve always found them to have a bit of an unpleasant streak, I only know the hits, but stuff like Lyin’ Eyes is lyrically horrible. Would never choose to listen to them. 1.

Lots of US folk love The Eagles eh? I think they’re garbage. 1/5

Reckon they could bother the bottom 3.

Fwiw, my dad is a fan, and I had to endure them a lot growing up. They have a lot of stuff (greatest hits, hotel California, hell freezes over) that’s tied up in nostalgia of youth. 1/5

Heard them a lot as a kid, not listened much since, but reckon they were pretty great at what they did. Sure it’s all a bit 70s white rock canon, but some legit soft rock bangers in their back catalogue. 2.5 rounded up to a 3.

And still I-ve only ever heard the one song of theirs

Quite like Hotel California in a “never need to hear it again” sort of way. Everything else I’ve heard is the most boring music imaginable.

2 because I don’t actively hate them. They just exist. Like a country tinged MOR Coldplay.

Yer man Don Henley: good voice, good hair, good at singing while playing the drums.

There is something unpleasant or off-putting about them (or maybe it’s just their reputation), cos they do have a few songs I’d be far more likely to happily listen to if they were by, say, Tom Petty.
