I hear ya, but I would put the Eagles up there with the Beatles in the 'one of the greatest' category. Higher than the Rolling Stones(perhaps the real most overrated band in history.)

U2 is about the only modern group I'd include at that level.

Joshua Tree is outstanding.

In fact I could make a good argument that this is perhaps the best/most moving rock song ever(or at least the best intro):


I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name

I want to feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear
Without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do

The city's aflood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
Our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, and I see love
See our love turn to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do



When they played it at the Superbowl after 9/11, with the names of the victims scrolling on the screen, just wow. Something I will never, ever, forget.
