    Default Greetings from the UK

    Hi everybody

    Just joined on here, to share my views on the greatest band of all time (by a country mile). Great to see such a thriving community, never would have guessed they have their own dedicated forum!

    Anyway, bit about me: I'm 18, from the UK, enjoy sport, politics and just about anything else going. Also a bit obsessed with transport and travel and the Old West (ties in well with Desperado ). Aside from the Eagles I love most classic rock and heavy metal, and also a little bit of country.

    Regarding the Eagles, I love them. Listened to them since I was a little kid, first song I loved was Take It to the Limit, then the rest of their big hits before getting really interested and delving into their lesser known stuff.

    My favourite album would probably be Desperado, then Hotel Cali, then OOTN. This might be unpopular on here (sorry ) but as much as I love them I can't get on too fondly with The Long Run era, it was just too far removed from their roots for me. LROOE was very good though.

    So, favourite songs:
    1) Doolin-Dalton / Desperado Reprise
    2) Hollywood Waltz
    3) Ol' 55
    4) Outlaw Man
    5) Saturday Night
    6) Hotel California
    7) New Kid in Town
    8. Peaceful Easy Feeling
    9) The Last Resort
    10) Already Gone

    Also, Walsh > Felder

    Cheers

    Welcome TLR! Nothing wrong with telling it like it is! We have some big fans of The Long Run era on here, specifically because it allowed them to meet the Eagles newest member...some long haired bass player...I forget his name...

    It's a perfect occupation for me.

    WELCOME from me too TLR!! It's great to have another younger member here to get your perspective as opposed to me who has loved the Eagles since the 70s.

    ENJOY!!!
