“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.
Thanks for making my point.
btw, I spent a few years on the pro-side providing tech assistance in remastering classic & iconic albums receiving credits on the albums.
I’ve been gifted many albums (hundreds of ‘dry” tracks) copied/burned direct from the raw master studio tapes before the dreaded reverb was added to the commercial release. Additionally, the mastering engineer I provided tech assistance was invited to Abbey Road to finalize a deal to remaster the entire Beatles catalogue. While there, he received direct copies of their albums and unreleased studio demos that he also gifted me.
In that music industry setting, the Beatles were always regarded as being far superior to Eagles in all areas - from songwriting, to studio recording technology to changing pop/rock culture.
The eagles, after their SoCal country-rock era, was just a slickly produced band with a catalogue of “same old, same old” songs that never showed musical or intellectual growth.
To believe the Beatles was a fad and the eagles far superior is just...well...insane stupidity lacking a grasp on reality.
