Is Lebowski wrong? Eagles vs. Creedence

[JVS]

Poll question: Is Lebowski wrong? Eagles vs. Creedence

Which is better

[Lyric]

1. Third option? I don't hate the Eagles, but CCR is better.

:shrug:

[HEyHEY]

2. CCR!

Fuck the eagles, I can't stand them.

[timtom]

10. I vote with you.

Some of the Eagles work is stellar (for example, Joe Walsh's paean to staying sober...)

But ALL of CCR is SUPERB!

3. Fuckin Eagles wimp-rock shit.

4. I like CCR

but overall musically the Eagles contributed more because of their original styles of blending rock and country. Even if you don't like country, the contributions that this group made to Rock, Pop,and Country are pretty amazing, and generally understated. How many other groups have tribute albums done to them from totally different genre's of artists.?..

11. I like the way NRPS

blended rock and country better then the eagles.

5. The Dude does not abide the fucking Eagles man...

[CBGLuthier]

6. I like a little from both but could live my whole life without either.

I do actually think CCR has a better chance to be still played 100 years from now but I don't see either outfit as anything particularly special.

With the single and qualified exception of Joe Walsh. That man is a god. Except for when he is with the Eagles.

7. I know the dude hates the Eagles but what did he say about CCR? --

so what, he keeps some Credence tapes in his car. big deal.

I think the dude and I need to burn a J and discuss the more intricate nuances between these 2 fine bands :smoke:

of course we agree that Metallica is a bunch of assholes ;)

[Moondog]

8. Heh.

Somewhat harsh, dudette ....

[Iggo]

9. CCR's lyrics are way better. Eagles guitars kill. (n/t)

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

12. Would the Grateful Dead ever get on stage with Glen Frey and play Eagles songs?

I think not!

13. If it weren't for the Eagles, modern country music wouldn't exist.

Which just proves the Dude was right, even if he did get kicked out of the cab.

[JVS]

14. Wow. That is a serious crime on their part.

[era veteran]

17. If it wasn't for Poco, modern country music wouldn't exist.

Poco is an American country rock band originally formed by Richie Furay and Jim Messina following the demise of Buffalo Springfield in 1968. The title of their first album, Pickin' Up The Pieces, is a reference to the break-up of the Springfield and is the only debut album ever to receive a perfect rating from Rolling Stone Magazine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPcfDlBWELM&feature=fvw

16. Never have, never will understand the hate for the Eagles (outside of that as people , some of em

are apparently major a-holes, but I have no first hand knowledge of that.Just have heard it, but might not be true at all ) I love CCR's music, even the less well known stuff, and I love a lot (far from all, but a lot) of The Eagles music. I think more than one of their albums are absolute masterpieces. But hey, to each their own. If you don't like 'em, you don't like 'em. I've never put down anyone's musical taste here; never will, even though I see people expressing love for groups and/or artists whose music annoys the shit out of me. But if someone's music makes you happy , or you just enjoy it, then it just does, and you just do. At the risk of sounding boastful, I think I have a fair amount of music cred,but my opinions of who I like and don't like, while fairly well informed, are still just my tastes and opinions. Same with yours. Saying you find the Eagles are not to your taste etc. is perfectly valid; saying they suck displays, to me, a lack of understanding of the amazing professionalism and craftsmanship of their ensemble writing, performing and recording.
P.S.....thought Big Lebowski was one of the more over-rated movies I ever saw. Just my opinion; doesn't mean I'm wrong or right. Maybe I just didn't "get it".
