All I know is that Thriller, one album with its own slate of at songs, has finally been beaten in album sales by a Greatest Hits compilation (that draws all the best songs from previously recorded albums) by the Eagles.
To me, that’s a bit of an apple vs. oranges comparison. But good for the Eagles!
BS. Where did you dig up that garbage? Henley was in trouble in the 80s for being with jailbait that claimed to be much older. One time.
The guy was engaged to Stevie Nicks and dated beautiful actresses and models. Not the type of man to rape little girls.

Oooohkayyyy, if you believe people who are talented or famous never rape kids, fine. I wish I was still that naive. You’re right thst I wasn’t there, but there are a lot of people who seem to know this happened, including the cops.
A hoe. I wish I had gone to see them that last time at the Forum.
WHEN THE EAGLES CAME OUT, POP MUSIC WAS SO BAD THEY WERE LIKE A BERADTH OF FRESH AIR!
OK, this thread only reports the current findings of the Recording Industry Association Of America, that into this point in the 21st century, the American pop rock group the Eagles 1976 Greatest Hits album has become America’s most popular set of songs to listen. This fact stands in stark contrast compared to all the streaming and downloads among the music buyers (typically teenagers). Another amazing aspect is that their songs remain popular across a large and diverse cross section of American’s, stretching across several decades.
seems that a lot of this pop music early 1970’s generation (Eagles, Jackson Browne, Ronstadt, Petty, Joe Walsh, Bob Seger, Fleetwood Mac) all influenced, affected if not borrowed and collaborated with each other.
interesting observation. Doctor your post is more and more accurate as we move deeper into the 21st century.
Ranking of most consecutive Gold and Platinum records:
1: The Beatles
2: The Rolling Stones
3: Aerosmith
4: RUSH !!
‘Lyin’ Eyes’ (1975)

And didn’t one of the earlier Eagles leave the group because Henley demanded that they perform for a liberal politician’s campaign event? IIRC, Henley kicked out the band member because the member objected, or refused to do it.
“Glenn Frey, I’ve met dozens of times here in L.A and he’s an OK guy. Even said Reagan was a great man which almost floored me.”
I think Frey got involved with many in the country music crowd — back when country musicians were conservative patriots. Maybe that influenced his thinking some.

The last time I was at the Forum this year was for Clapton and Iron Maiden. I dont like watching groups which are not original members, e.g GNR so I get your thinking. My uncle even saw Metallica when Cliff Burton was alive.
Yeah. He’s an asshole. Nothing’s changed. I wouldnt watch them even if you hand me front row seats. I had a cousin who saw them 2 years ago and he was like 20 feet away and he could see Frey’s face grimace during the show. The dude was giving it everything for the show.
I did it, once. Saw Queen with Paul Rodgers at the H Bowl. Never got to to see it with Freddie, and it was still very good.
ah OK Paul Rodgers is awesome. he’ll pass LOL. I was invited many times when Journey was playing but I dont feel its Journey without Steve Perry. My Dad will rib me to no end because he saw Journey and Genesis all in the same week in 84.
Your dad is cool, dude.
I don’t get out much, sadly, but I went a couple weeks ago to the new li’l adorable amphitheatre in Irvine to see Coheed and Cambria and Taking Back Sunday. That was so fun.
