another great example as to why all three of those bands belong in this thread!

I am definitely aware that they were successful, but I simply cannot stand their music.

You can hate on the Eagles as long as, due to Vinylbanit's latest assertion, Chicago doesn't get any hate...

Any hating on Chicago will result in fisticuffs.

3/1/2010 1:01:14 PM

i have no great love for chicago

just pointing out that releasing a new album every year wasn't a big deal then as it is now

hell, just ten years prior to the eagles/fleetwood mac/chicago/whoever else doing that

most bands were putting out two new albums every year

3/1/2010 1:04:20 PM

Spoon and Kings of Leon.

I still like Spoon though.

3/1/2010 1:06:51 PM

??? The Eagles

Are you kidding me? The only two memebers left from the start of the group (Peaceful, Easy Feeling kinda sound) are Don and Glenn. Early on, they were much more of a country rock group. Banjo's, steele guitar, Bernie's rolling guitar style, ect. They then move over to define the easy listening sound of the west coast and later pick up Joe Walsh which added a harder rock element and produce rock greatness in Hotel California. And along the way, collect enough songs to put together a greatest hits album which ranks as one of the best sellers of all time. Not to shabby for a band whose songs sound all the same huh?

The sound and styles clearly change as the group changed....like them or not, you dont know what your talking about here.

"eagles was before my time. i hear so many people saying that they hate the eagles. (even in the big lebowski). was it because they were just a one hit wonder with the hotel california song? i can imagine they they got big because of that one song, but the rest of their shit sucks."

This is quite possibly the worst post in the history of the entertainment section.....

this argument might have worked if you hadn't of claimed that the fucking Chili Peppers were one of the most musically diverse groups out there

not only is your opinion wrong, it's fucking retarded

and lol at the racist conservative dude defending the Eagles wholeheartedly

or

The Go! Team

sorry

the go! team

3/1/2010 4:17:11 PM

i agree on both counts

but the go team is kinda weird on purpose that way

i've tried to get into the go! team a bunch of times, but i can't get past anything other than "huddle formation"

3/1/2010 4:23:01 PM

if there were a "bands whose songs don't all sound the same" thread, the Crowes would fit in perfectly

"Interesting that noone has named a rap group, rap arguably being one of the most homogenous genres in music"

Thats because rap doesnt really have any great songs that qualify. I will give you that it does all sound the same though. Before I get flamed, good hip hop is not like this, but commercial rap like 50 cent and TI and all that shit sounds EXACTLY the fucking same.

3/2/2010 2:07:51 AM

As someone who once thought "Take It Easy" was the greatest song ever penned, I can attest to the fact that the Eagles suck pretty hard. I can't believe I ever contributed to the mind-boggling success of their greatest hits album.

I've never thought of CCR as stylistically diverse or sophisticated, but when I get drunk, you might hear me claim they're my favorite band of all time. I just love the sound. The only strike against them is that they weren't actually born and raised in the American South (and obviously, Mardi Gras kinda stuck up the place).


And I'll add a new one: The Who's big CSI hits are practically indistinguishable at points. Super Bowl show was great, but folks who had more than three beers by the half probably didn't realize more than one song was performed.

if by show you mean the lights and stage, then sure. if you mean the performance, then i'd have to disagree.

Even if that were true, it doesn't apply to their catalog.

1. Nickelback
2. Daughtry
3. Nickelback

I'm actually kind of relieved that Nickelback hasn't been mentioned more. It shows that people out there aren't even paying attention to that corporate rock business. Well done people.

3/3/2010 12:08:47 PM

Or maybe it shows that you aren't paying attention to the topic at hand.

3/3/2010 12:43:26 PM

Pantera


I still love 'em tho.

3/3/2010 12:53:52 PM

Yeah, I'll weigh in on some I love that all sound the same...


The Guess Who
Motley Crue
Poison
KISS (other than Revenge... by far their best)
My Chemical Romance (for the most part)
Europe (but its so fucking epic)
Electric Six (but its so fucking epic)
Chuck Berry
The Four Tops

and I'll even throw Bon Jovi in the mix, because they use some of the same riffs and lyrics to reference other songs throughout multiple albums, creating songs that have different meaning and musical timbre, but tend to sound very similar nonetheless.
