Hi to my fellow fans!

[luna65]

I'm Julie, a native of Southern California and a fan of the band since the beginning, I'm sure as with many of you I grew up hearing them on the radio and then later buying the albums for myself; I don't think there's been a year since '72 that I haven't listened to them. I was too young to see them live during the original era but I did see them during the resumption. My favorite album is On The Border; I tend to prefer the earlier years although I have my favorites from the later years too. And Don and Glenn are equally my favorite members.

I enjoy all kinds of music; I love prog rock and jazz especially. I've been active in different online fandoms for over a decade, I co-moderate some other message boards and write articles for fansites and blogs, and I'm glad to be here! :)

Welcome Julie !!

Welcome to the Border, Julie ;-)

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Julie - Welcome from me, too. Glad you found us and hope you enjoy yourself here on The Border. This is a great place if you want to talk about the Eagles. In the beginning, Glenn was my favorite. But, then for years, like you, Glenn and Don were equally my favorites. I still love them both, but, in recent years, Glenn has edged back into a slight lead. In truth, I love and appreciate all the guy's amazing contribution to this amazing band. Join right in here and most importantly have fun!

Thanks for the warm welcome, all! :D


Since you like prog rock and the Eagles, you would have loved my first Eagles concert in '72. They opened for Yes. :smile:
Oh I know; that fact kills me on a regular basis, lol. I didn't get to see Yes for the first time until 1987, and while I love YesWest with every fiber of my being, I would have given a body part to see that tour, for my favorite Classic Yes album (Close To The Edge).

[sodascouts]

That's quite an intro! Welcome and I look forward to hearing more from you!

Love Close to the Edge too. I suppose that and Fragile are my faves, although the Yes album is really good too. I can have three faves can't I? :hmm:

[luna65]

Sure you can! It is a perfect trilogy of albums so it's tough to pick just one favorite.

Welcome, Julie (although it seems a bit preumptious of me as I'm such a newbie).

Any mention of Yes immediately transports me back to the university poster shop which was full of Roger Dean posters and cards back in 1977. I was an ELP girl until I discovered the Eagles and then mostly moved away from prog. I was also a fan of Wishbone Ash who are the only band of that era I remember seeing live - they played locally when I was 16 and finally allowed to go to concerts.

OMG, I haven't heard their name mentioned since back in the day! I had a cassette of theirs that I listened to time and time again! Never saw them live.

Cool! I always feel bereft at having missed out on that great era of shows. For me, Yes led to Pink Floyd and Genesis and that's my Holy Trinity of Prog, lol. Floyd is actually my very favorite band but the original Eagles era is one I still love and am fascinated with as much as when it was happening.

[Glennsallnighter]

Welcome Luna! Looking forward to seeing you post here! You have wuite a resume. Hope you will enjoy it.

And UTW! You aren't such a newbee anymore!

It's funny to think that there you were in Southern California wanting to see all these British groups while meanwhile, I was in Wales wanting to see all the Californian bands. Talk about the grass being greener and all that.

[luna65]

It is funny, isn't it?!
The converse of that for me is the rise of what they call "hair metal," I was in on the beginning of it in the clubs, and so when those bands progressed to arenas and so on, I kept saying to my friends, "I've already seen them up close, why do I need to go again?" :rofl:

[Thunzyag]

welcome :)

[luna65]

Hi there!

[Keith]

Welcome Luna. I'm a Genesis fan as well.

[luna65]

Yay! I'm not really a Gabe-era purist or anything, although I do think Duke was the last great prog album of theirs, but I like the 80s stuff too (or at least most of it).

[Keith]

I actually prefer Phil Collins. Invisible Touch was probably one of the last "records" I bought. Good memories!

[Freypower]

You should buy We Can't Dance, then. I prefer it to Invisible Touch.

[Keith]

I might have to do that. I just looked it up, and noticed Hold On My Heart, which was a good single.

[Henley Honey]

Welcome, Keith! You, VA and I should meet up at the Raleigh concert.

[WalshFan88]

Welcome to the Border.

[Houston Baby]

WELCOME from me too!
