As much as David Bowie's loss was very sad, I think Glen Freys contribution to MOR was sensational!

A great musician in his own right he formed with the Eagles that West coast sound which has become iconoclastic to the style of the sensational seventies!

The music still is fresh alive and vibrant today as then.

I don't think the Eagles can or would want to carry on now and so one of the "Stellar" Bands of all time may not ever be seen again! 

Lets hope not!

Vale Glen Frey and thanks for the beautiful music!

Sorry Picket, but The Eagles epitomised almost everything I hated about 70's music which never got interesting until the last 3 years of the decade... the decade that was the 70's I like to think of as music's "beige period".

I enjoyed a lot of music right through the 70's but The Eagles were not one of them.

Proud to say i have never owned anything recorded by them!! Soft [censored] West Coast Sludge...

Yes, there was great music produced throughout the 70's, but following on from the consistently brilliant music produced in the 60's, the 70's was always going to be somewhat "boring".

i have always thought the "Music Decade" back then went from 1965-1975...once disco kicked in the cocaine took over..But it did take a few years for the 60's to fade down...they were so amazing!

i'd make that 1955-1975, wyl. a lot of great music in the decade before 65, especially black american which didn't at the time get equal airplay

there are threads on music,  for which to voice approval or disapproval of choice. 

but this is a thread to honor someone who has impacted peoples lives,  & for them to share their thoughts in a time of loss of someone important in their lives. 

 

not for criticism,  that should be in the music threads.

I am sharing my thoughts on what i thought about The Eagles. 

I worked in a Record Shop during '81-'82

You have no idea how many times i was forced to listen to "Hotel California" and other related Eagles tunes. 

Credence Clearwater Revival were the sound from the west in the 70's

Hotel California one of my all time favourite tunes.  as well as 'Life in the fast Lane' reminiscing about driving to Flinders whilst making love to girl friend, during the journy at the wheel.  the good ol days. lets not spoil them.

The first three lines in the original post read: "As much as David Bowie's loss was very sad, I think Glen Freys contribution to MOR was sensational!

A great musician in his own right he formed with the Eagles that West coast sound which has become iconoclastic to the style of the sensational seventies!

The music still is fresh alive and vibrant today as then."

The topic started off belittling Bowie's contribution to music as compared to Frey's and then went on to discuss the music of the Eagles.  Those three lines invited the discussion the followed regarding the value of The Eagles' music.

Yes, his death was a sad thing, but as WYL said, we all die... the only difference is that we non-celebrities will go unnoticed in our passing, except by those to whom we are closest (as it should be).

or as derryn hinch once said "the dead are owed nothing but the truth"

of course it all depends on whose truth, but all are free to present theirs

yes I see your point, I thought it was a respects thread for Glenn Frey, & I also didn't perceive it as a put down of Bowie,  who I think is/was fantastic, more-so now than ever before. 

But i didn't perceive that it was comparing the two of Bowie & Frey,  as both were large parts of my life....  love music.   with a wide variety from Satchmo to Elvis,  from Billy Pauls 'me & mrs jones',  to Earth Wind & Fire,  from Glenn Miller to 'Snow White & the 8 Straights'.  Billy Joel to Gary Puckett.  from Chain to Madderlake. etc. Thorpie.

 

to me they are all greats.  I don't need to hang shyte on this or that.  especially after one has just passed & is still warm.

I even like the light stuff like  Billy 'bad habits' Field,  or Christopher Cross,  then to Slade, Deep Purple, Guns n Roses. et al. all the Blues legends & some.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
