Beatles were a fad.

LOL....you are absolutely insanely stupid.

To ignore their impact on rock/pop, culture, technology in the studio and their massive catalogue over 5-6 years is sheer stupidity.

The eagles went from a pleasing SoCal country-pop group to a slickly produced sound with only a few memorable songs in their small and very limited catalogue. In fact, JD Souther wrote/co-wrote their better songs.

Finally, John Lennon was a far better rock singer than Henley.

“you are absolutely insanely stupid.”

Well, that’s quite charming. I can feel the love.

“JD Souther wrote/co-wrote their better songs.”

So? I never mentioned the writing; just the two groups’ final products. and my favorite Eagles songs were the ones where Souther was involved — Souther/Frey really.

“John Lennon was a far better rock singer than Henley.”

So? As I said above, I was commenting about both groupS. Not the writing. Not a particular singer. I’m not a fan of Henley’s voice; he strains when he sings. Glenn Frey was my favorite. John Lennon ... common.

My major in college was Music. Of course, college was seminary, and the music was Church Music, so we never got into Eagles vs Beatles, although the Beatles had been around for a few years by that time. Eagles ... I don’t think so.
