    Re: Eagles Mentions in the Press

    Found this opinion-based list of the best slide guitar solos in music. Although the author is not an Eagles fan, he gives Joe fifth place on his list for his slide solo on Victim Of Love.

    Found a good (and unexpected!) mention in the football section of The Times (of London) - Scott Arfield, a Scottish/Canadian who plays for Burnley FC, talks about his love of music, and how he sung...

    This is weird because I was reading a review of the Kings of Leon album in the newspaper on a train journey a couple of weeks ago. There were no Eagles mentions in their review, but by some strange...

    Thanks UtW for posting the Phil Kenzie interview. It was a really enlightening piece, which I think is quite refreshing.

    Very well deserved! It's an absolute classic for sure. From a personal point of view I'm pretty pleased with the top three, which covers my three favourite bands. It's not a very original list, mind...

    The Eagles are again represented in a country rock-related Classic Rock list, this time a list of the 10 Essential Country Rock albums. Their choice, believe it or not, is Hotel California...

    I trust that when they do their '25 Greatest Heavy Metal Songs' list, Enter Sandman will claim number 8 spot, ranking behind Out Of Control, naturally. :wink:

    Interesting all-time list. I don't use Spotify myself, so haven't contributed to my figures. I noticed the Eagles actually moved up five places (from 15th to 10th), whereas Rumours dropped three...

    My opinion as to whether you should avoid On The Border can be summarised in one word. NO! :hilarious:

    On The Border is my third favourite Eagles album behind Hotel California and Desperado, and...

    The Classic Rock History list isn't bad, but it is a bit perplexing. I love The Long Run album, and really like Teenage Jail, but there's no way I'd agree with it being the seventh best (!) Eagles...

    Re: Eagles Mentions in the Press

    Come to think of it, weren't the first suggestions of a possible Eagles comeback (before it actually happened) around 1990? If you wish to count that, it would extend the sequence quite neatly.

    I agree with you there NMB. I once read a comment on another forum which basically said 'it's easy to label music you don't like as soft rock' and I think this is true. I would say it works as a...

    Thanks for posting that AG95. This is what I make of his comments on each album:

    Eagles - His comments on the album are fair. I disagree only with the choice of Nightingale as the best deep track,...

    Good list on the whole, not too unpredictable but I agree with most of the choices. I can't really argue too much with the top three, all of which I consider to be major classics. I was absolutely...

    I'm with you on that F50. I would personally describe Joe as a rock star, but not really a celebrity. Glenn and Don might make 'rock star' status at a bit of a push (if anything Don has the stronger...
