Are other people's opinions that important? The Eagles are pretty terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hung out and watched some kids play soccer for a while and drank water from a garden hose and at my peak I wandered home. I came through the front door and my dad was play air guitar to the Eagles with one leg propped up on the coffee table. That's the extent of my Eagles experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad's rocking The Eagles, can't beat it. My dad would play guitar and sing Hotel California to me when I was a kid, and him and my mum would sing Lyin' Eyes. Lots of my dad's bands have just stuck with me - Stranglers, 10cc, Dr Hook, Alice Cooper, few others. He's not a great guitarist but he taught me and got me doing sing alongs from a young age. I wonder if I'll have my future kids singing shite blink stuff down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosferatu Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 It's only in recent years when I found out a lot of people can't stand Bon Jovi. Didn't know Eagles were hated but my Dad is a fan of them and I've never heard anyone else really talk about them, so I guess that's why I didn't know about this hatred for the Eagles. I've heard a few people hate on Bon Jovi though. Similar in a way to people's hatred for Nickelback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
