    Not only have Eagles not made their brackets of best artists going head-to-head, to day Ultimate Classic Rock issued their top ten list of best Classic Rock documentaries and our guys aren't on it. Sound City is, so it's not a 'newness' factor. These people have lost serious credibility with me.

    I know those lists are meaningless but still... unbelievable.

    ETA: Well, I guess I can see why it might suffer in comparison to some of the other ones on there, but it should have at least made the list.

    Good grief, David Grohl's made it but the Eagles didn't? That's ridiculous! One of the biggest selling bands of all time?

    The ever continuing hate the media has for the Eagles.

    Well I agree the doc is awesome BUT just because the Eagles are one of the best selling ever doesnt mean their doc has to be on a best of list. For example the doc Anvil the Story of Anvil is pretty good and the band never sold anything. "Best doc" doesnt have anything to do with the bands number of records sold.

    That said that top 10 list is pretty weak.

    U2's Rattle and Hum is an awesome documentary and should be in there. That list just went with the safe names for the most part.

    Well - I maintain what I wrote earlier ... the band often times gets no respect. OMNJ - you say that the creator's of the list went with a "safe" names. I agree, but I wonder why the Eagles, who are one of the best-selling bands ever aren't considered a "safe name"? I'm thinking it's because they aren't given due credit for their accomplishments.

    Because The Who, Beatles, Rush etc are safe because they are "cool". Most of the Eagles haters dont think the Eagles are cool. Thats why the Eagles wouldnt be a "safe" name. We Eagles fans know they are cool.

    Unfortunately, I think you may be, at least partially right, which says a lot about their credibility, doesn't it? We can be assured how reliable the list is when their main criteria is "cool".

    I wonder how many people hate the Eagles cause they're "supposed to". Not cause they've actually Explored them.
