    Eagles: The Very Best Of

    • In The Fast Lane, the Top 30 Seven Bridges Road, Victim of Love (a hard rocking album cut), the Top 10
    • If you are a music fan, you will love the variety on this CD from "Country" to "Southern Rock" to "Soft Rock" to "Hard Rock", the Eagles did it all!
    • I generally skip over still, mostly the slower light rock songs
    • very good old school rock
    • Get Over It" may not be the greatest thing they ever did, but it's a fast, insanely catchy rock and roll tune with fun lyrics
    • Eagles are a Classic Rock Band not a modern Rock Band Fred
    • The Very Best Of" by The Eagles is a well-assembled two cd set of daring classic rock songs.

    • Fortunatley they have garnered enough rocking tracks that I would pick up this double disc set
    • Peaceful Easy Feeling" is excellent soft rock that could never truly fade away; and listen for other gems including a marvelous, passionate treatment of "Desperado" with those strings enhancing the ballad even more
    • A lot of hits, but nothing compared to...3) "Hotel California" and The "Long Run," which subtracted Leadon (and eventually Meisner) for Joe Walsh (and eventually Timothy B. Schmit), had a ton more hits, a little more soft rock ("New Kid in Town"), a genuine anthem ("Hotel California"), a couple of burnout anthems ("Life in the Fast Lane," "Those Shoes"), a song they've convinced themselves sounds like Thom Bell's productions for The Spinners ("Wasted Time"), a semi-yahoo song ("Heartache Tonight"), and one they wrote with/for Timothy B. Schmit, the second bassist
    • How can anyone argue with the best of the best rock group ever to hit the planet?
    • The Eagles are one of the best American rock bands, period.
