Now "Hotel California" was an awesome song. The most listenable and timeless Eagles song ever recorded. It was epic. All those other Eagles songs are annoying to listen to. I was watching the movie "The Big Lebowski" and that "Dude" character did not like the Eagles on bit. I'm with him there. But it's too bad this Glen Frey guy died. He died of things I can't pronounce and so that is never a good way to go. Post Eagles, the big Glen Frey hits were "The Heat Is On" and "You Belong To The City." Forgettable pop from the mid 1980s. What can I say? I'd love to sit here and say I loved the music of Glen Frey but I cannot say that. I can say that about David Bowie however. He had dozens of great timeless songs and my favorite one of that bunch was "Diamond Dogs" with "Space Oddity" a close number two.
All these people who have died in music, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, that guy who drummed in the band I can't remember, then you have that Scott Weiland, who played in Stone Temple Pilots, he was pretty good but he died. Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, Linda Ronstadt, Natalie Cole, Robert Stigwood and in fact pretty much all the BeeGees are now dead, including Andy, who will always look like he's 22 years old. It's just crazy how fast they are all dying.
Probably in their heyday in the 70s most people who liked the Eagles, probably couldn’t have told you the names of the guys in the band.
How many bands no longer have any living members?
The Ramones are the only one I can think of.
Linda Ronstadt is still around, she’s 69.
Linda is still very much alive, for now - although she is battling Parkinson’s .... She can no longer sing b/c of the disease.
Linda Ronstadt is still alive.
