    Default Unpopular Eagles opinions

    its Always interesting to find people on here that like certain songs that no one else does. I find myself being in the minority on a good amount of songs like visions,I wish you peace and bitter creek. What are some of your unpopular eagles opinions?.

    I have never like Visions, IWUP, TS, GDWNF and DS. Just my 2cents.....
    I love Bitter Creek and most of Bernie's other songs.

    Could this thread be more broad - not just songs, but all things Eagles? I'd love to read the replies! I could probably think of some stuff that wouldn't be easily forgiven.

    I'm not sure how you define unpopular, but here are some of my less conventional opinions:

    - The three singles from One of These Nights are the strongest set ever released on an Eagles album.
    - Hotel California isn't in the top three best songs on its album.
    - The title track and How Long are the only two genuinely superb songs from LROOE.
    - Love Will Keep Us Alive is utterly tepid gibberish.
    - Tequila Sunrise makes for a superb concert closer (see Houston 77).

    I'll share a few...

    -I don't care for I Can't Tell You Why or One of These Nights, and I absolutely can't stand Those Shoes.
    -I prefer Hotel California to open the show instead of as the first encore.
    -I like The Girl From Yesterday and Learn to Be Still and would count the latter as one of my favorite Eagles songs, ever.
    -I think, in general, Randy's songs were superior to Tim's.

    Agree with all points made here!

    Also that the OOTN album was their stringest set

    My most unpopular opinions are;

    .Hotel California was there least interesting album still ahd good songs but there were no surprises for me on it just generic sound
    .Their first no 1 singles Best of My Lvoe and OOTN are anything special, the latter I feel is an unsuccessful hybrid of their sound with Disco
    . Teenage Jail maybe simplistic but it's awesome! with a badass guitar riff, nice synth solo, dynamite traded vocas by Henley Fry displaying their individual strengths and Felder's simple but effective solo at the end- what a package even if the lyrics are genuinely terrible :P

    I don't agree that Hotel California was their least interesting album but I don't think it's their best, and that in itself is an unpopular opinion!

    What would be in your opinion the best three songs on Hotel California?

    Try and Love Again is the best song on HC.

    And a fair proportion of that is the guitar solo.

    The Last Resort and New Kid in Town by a country mile, then Life in the Fast Lane. I would also personally choose Wasted Time and Pretty Maids over HC.
