That is what I hear from people a lot too, that they're too boring sounding. That is just plain wrong, AND you could also say that about almost any band if your experience with them is limited! I have a friend who hates Pink Floyd because they sound boring to her. I can only shake my head at the idea of a classic rock band with multiple albums having EVERY SINGLE SONG be slow and boring. People just need to actually listen to the band and not just the few songs that the radio overplays.
I've always thought it was sick logic that when a bad is successful, it must be because they've done something 'unartistic.' How about they're successful because they have terrific material?!

I agree they are successful because they have terrific material and they work darn hard at their craft, still striving for absolute excellence.
I do think many of their songs are underrated, or perhaps underexposed would be a more accurate term? So many people have probably only heard the Greatest Hits Volume I &II stuff, and in my opinion a lot of their best work isn't included on those. (The entire Desperado album where listening start to finish adds so much more than just hearing the songs individually; Long Road Out of Eden which has some masterpieces).

Here is a thread I created to show what I think is a REALLY underated band and why I dont think the Eagles should ever be categorized as underated as thats almost unfair to actual bands that are underated.

NB: The thread has been moved to the Singing For The Sake of the Song forum & renamed 'Smithereens'.
FP - I'm not sure why you want this thread moved to the Singing for the Sake of the Song forum. I think it belongs here. Please help me out if I'm missing something.

I was referring to a thread about another band which was created in Cheap Talk & Wine by OMNJ. I already moved it. I am not saying this thread I'm in now needs to be moved. I should have quoted OMNJ's post. I was just alerting people to it being in a different forum from where it was created. Although the link takes you to where it is now anyway so sorry for any confusion.
