I am Terrence, a 37 year old music fan (and lifelong fan of The Eagles, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Rush and Queen). I do have Autism so sometimes my posts may be problematic but hope I'm welcome here.
Let's see, my interest in The Eagles goes back to literally birth and the first three albums I owned at age 5 back in 1981 were Greatest Hits 1971-75, Hotel California and The Long Run all on either LP or 8 Track then cassettes by 1981 (all replaced in 1983/84 and now have original vinyl pressings NEAR MINT/EXCELLENT condition I may add). I got Greatest Hits II for my 7th birthday in 1983. Eagles Live at Christmas 1984 (upgraded in 1991 then again over the years and have the vinyl (which I did a transfer to CD). On the Border two days after I turned 9 in January, 1985. One of These Nights in February of 1985 (alongside Pink Floyd's Animals). Desperado at Christmas 1985 and the self titled eluded me until Spring 1991 (when I upgraded my cassette collection as other copies I either lost or got destroyed or wore out).
My Eagles diet has been steady since then (bought Hell Freezes Over in first week, help keep at #1, the Selected Works box, Very Best of (mainly for "Hole In the World") and bought Long Road Out of Eden (which I helped push to #1 its first week keeping the jezebel Britney Spears from #1 and I always say The Eagles hitting #1 was a MAJOR UPSET and rubbed it in Britney fans' face, I say "TALENT AND WRITING YOUR OWN THINGS TRUMPS LOOKS AND SEX EVERYTIME".
Favorite Eagles studio album : Hotel California (One of These Nights and Desperado are just behind).
Favorite Eagles tracks : The Last Resort (also love Too Many Hands, Bitter Creek)
Best solo albums : Don H (I Can't Stand Still with End of Innocence close behind), Glenn (No Fun Aloud, rest of solo canon was hit or miss), Felder (Airborne, haven't heard new album yet), Joe (1970s is So What, 1980s is There Goes the Neighborhood) and never heard the albums from Bernie, Randy and Timothy.
Missed seeing them in 1994 as I was still recuperating from Pink Floyd (whose final tour was in 1994) and tickets were impossible to find. Then missed again the next few years but always wished I'd seen them in glory days (I was in diapers/toddler years whilst it happened).
