Any Eagles fans?
Got to thinking today... It's been awhile since I listened to any of their albums, so it's time to make a disc for the truck... I have eight albums (that I own thankyouverymuch) and I'm ripping 'em right now.
1. Eagles
2. Desperado
3. On the Border
4. One of These Nights
5. Greatest Hits 71075
6. Hotel California
7. Long Run
8. Greatest Hits Volume 2
MP3s rule. :)

Who said anything about piracy? I own the albums. I'm putting them on a single CD.
-
Yeah the last resort is one of my all time favorites off of Hotel California.
Seen them in concert a few times great shows.
-
It's posts like these that make me wanna somehow get you semi-older guys back into what's going on right now. The Eagles. And posts about Floyd or etc. Like... 25 years ago.
There are albums that came out LAST MONTH that would blow your mind.
But you don't know of them, because radio won't play anything but Limp Agulera. It takes an unreasonable effort to keep up with it. And I can't post mp3's here.
Conondrum.
Cool thing about the Eagles is that in their live shows they don't deviate from their albums one note. Amazing musicians.
-
one of the all time greats, when they arent getting all luvy duvy.
thats been a big problem with underground alternate music for years nash. So many talented people making so much music, especially under the radar, that no one could possibly keep track of it all, but by all means, if you can scrape a few titles off your brain and post em here, some more folks might search em out.

No, you can't. But you can name names or you can upload them to a server of mine. :)
-
what if if made a web page with links to downloads of selected songs on my server. Maybe a 'band of the week' type of thing. A Skuzzifyable offence?

LOL the new bands are simply a JOKE compared to the older bands.
Sorry but thats just the way It Is.
-
You can't even name 5 new legit bands, so what am I to make of that?
-
Speaking of this so called pirating.
I am just curious as to exactly how many times Im supposed to pay to own the same set of songs?

I recommend a new "post-of-the-week" from our man, Nash.
Call it New Music 101. :)
Recommend a band or two and maybe some tracks. If there are legitimate downloads available, they can be posted.
I don't listen to radio. I don't watch MTV or VH1. I'm looking for new stuff.
Whattaya think?
-
What if I made a web page that I'd update once a week. Then I made a link to that web page (involving pirates arrrrr) in my sig.
Innocent enough?
-
Sounds like a lot of work, but hey... it's not me doing it. :)
:cool:
-
The Eagles had great vocals ( mostly Don Henely, some good songs, very chitty drum sounds though
Overall I think the Eagles were pretty good, but not in the Beatles/ Zep league...... but who else is?
I like a lot of music and my tastes change a lot, but when I think of bands that I admire the most, I think Beatles then Zep
-
Beatles... Zepp... apples and oranges...
It's not the talent that hooked me. The Eagles just have this whole California vibe that fits so well, especially when I'm driving in the desert. :)

not all, sure the pop bands are for the most part lame, but there has been some decent rock coming out all along.
more than once I've had to yell down to my sons room "what the hell are you listening too?"
"sorry, I'll turn it down"
"no crank it up, that ain't half bad. who is it?"
you have to wade through a lot of crap to find the good stuff, but have you forgotten journey, stix, the beegees? I waded through a lot of crap back then too. there where dozens of groups that would send me diving for the tuner when they came on the stereo, as I was growing up.
one nice thing about mp3's and high quality sound cards is just about anybody can do a net release of their music without having to fit the cookie cutter of some record exec to get heard.
to be honest I don't hear enough new stuff to suit me, most of the best never makes it to the radio(and I felt the same way as a kid. my favorite tracks where always on the back of the albums and never got any air time).
the only real difference in the situation now, as apposed to then is that now I own enough music that I could play stuff I already know I like, 24 hours a day for 4-5 days before I have to repeat a song, so I'm not as hungry to find new stuff.
btw- ripping everything to mp3 is deffinately the way to go. my original cd's are now just opened, ripped to the HD, and put away as back-ups.
I have about 450 albums on my HD. my car has an mp3 cd player in it, we use the dvd-player and suroundsound for a stereo, and my boombox for work, and all of our personalcd players read mp3. every 60 cent disc you carry in your case is like another 10 album cartridge for a cd changer.
and a nice bonus, when your car gets broken into they don't get your originals, just cheap copies.

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell
Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the captain; please bring me my wine
We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise) bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice
And she said we are all just prisoners here of our own device
And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Relax said the nightman We are programmed to receive
You can check out anytime you like but you can never leave

The Eagles are one of the few teams in the NFL that I hate and shall always hate - the Redskins and the 49ers are the only others in that category, but the Eagles are #1 on that list.
culero (oh, wait, you meant THOSE Eagles ;) )
-
nash is sorta right.... just because finding something good in the sea of trash that is music today is difficult... well, that's no reason for young people to keep leaning on bands that are 25 years old or older..
Course we had this kind of drought in the 50's when I was very young... Had to listen to black groups that were 25 years old. That or pat boone or ricky nelson.
Eventually something inovative will come along and the rap zombies will die the death they have longed for for too long now.

Please please, post that link once it's done... same condition here, don't listen to MTV and little radio (usualy in the morning when the brain is still trying to cope with "wake up! wake up") calls from my bart simpson alarm clock ;)
Seriously, I'd like that.
-
Nash, I'm one who would appreciate the effort - I don't do clubs anymore and you're damn sure right about radio.

I got turned onto the eagles when I was a teenager in the mid 90s. They released their reunion album (cant remember the actual title) Had alot of there classics that they recorded LIVE. Was a GREAT ALBUM. Not just a few hits the entire album was good.
-
In 1975, I bought my very first 8-track tape, the Eagles Greatest 71-75. I was thirteen. I wore out two of those and another cassette before compact discs.
Hotel California and the Long Run are good, but my favorite album is "One of These Nights".
-
My 1st 8-track was a solo work by Rick Wakeman. I actually had an 8-track recorder for my stereo system. (I'm slightly older than you Sandman)
I still think Jackson Browne is the greatest songwriter of his time.
New bands you might like are Train, Nickleback, Three Doors Down, Matchbox 20.
-
No kidding. Jackson Browne is excellent.
I was watching one of the freeview things on DirecTV of Train. They've got talent, but I enjoyed their covers of Led Zeppelin far more than their own original stuff. I like Matchbox 20, but I can't stand any of the clones that came out of the woodwork when they hit it... 3 Doors Down comes to mind.
-
The Eagles are going to the Super Bowl next year. I just know it....

I have to agree with Nash that there is some great stuff coming all the time. The problem is finding it. When I was growing up in San Diego, the local alternative station (91X) would play some great music. Late at night (after midnight), they were playing new stuff that was cutting edge for the time (late 80s-early 90s) plus some great stuff from the past. However, they have been taken over by the same disease that ruined KROQ here in LA. Hell, KROQ doesn't even have Rodney on the Rock anymore (at least not that I have been able to find). The good thing is that one of the pop/dance stations switched formats at the new year and became a "indie" station. They still play some mainstream alternative stuff, but their rotation includes stuff that you won't here on KROQ for another year. I think it is FM 103.1.
-
I love the Eagles. But they screw up in the playoffs every damn year.

I was stationed in San Diego during the 80's. I loved 91X. What a great station it was.

speaking of radio stations. what does it take to get a radio station to understand that just because a song is 15,20 or more years old, doesn't make it classic rock, it should also have to be a good song.
last month I actually heard Air Supply on a classic rock station.

Same with Fleetwood Mac when they did that reunion tour a few yares ago. They sounded better than the recorded versions most of the time.
Hey Sand, I didn't mean to bag on the Eagles...actually their 1st Greatest Hits is a pretty much great straight through album to listen too, especially on the road like you said.
-
nash email me at nawcdgreen@yahoo.com thanks

Don't sweat it man. I've got a few Beatles and Zepp albums in this stack. :)

even someone as tone deaf as me realizes that the alternative stations are really saying.. "here is a new one by####, it's really bad but it is different."
