This is not a defensible take, and I think you know that.

I know I'm right

 

[Magua]

I don't think this is AI art. It's just a John William Waterhouse painting.

 

[Striiker]

I see you haven't heard of Aerosmith yet. Good. Keep it that way.

I know of Aerosmith. I’m not a fan but The Eagles are far worse.

 

[Asnito]

The worst known music is The Eagles.

I will 1000% die on this hill.

Take that back

Also, not that we are on this topic, but Hurt by Johnny Cash is the best cover ever

Agreed on the modern music points completely, but I’m going to say something blasphemous here. For the life of me, I don’t understand why this thought is so common. It has nothing to do with Cash, who I absolutely love. The cover is very, very good. But he has quite a few late career covers that are too.

And also “Cocaine Blues” was a cover and the Folsom version might be the best recording ever made.

THEYRE TRASH

This isn't AI art. It's a John William Waterhouse painting.

Wouldn't be surprised if the AI ripped him off to make it

The Eagles can’t be the actual bottom because Don Henley had a solo career afterward. Trust me, it’s worse.

Just because you're parents tortured you on that ride down to Florida doesn't make them trash

The Joe Walsh solo career is orders of magnitude worse than the Don Henley solo career. You can take the Eagles out of the Eagles, but you can't take the Eagles out of the Eagles, if you know what I mean, and I know you do.

In fairness it’s due to the music video. The song is very good, but the video sends it to the moon. Just really helps drive the point home that although it’s the same song with nearly all the same words it becomes a new song with a different meaning

 

[Beef Invictus]

What if I told you this is the only good cover song ever recorded?

 

[landsbergfan]

Okay but Last of the Mohicans and La La Land were both clues in the same category on Jeopardy tonight.



Teach me the sound that can take me away. Play it again and again until I find rapture.

My top 10 modern songs are all from La La Land or Avril Lavigne

Zagga mobba do, flogma dohma dah, into the field of bah-ley.

My friends and I were making that joke way before Family Guy. I suspect everyone alive was.

I WOULD RATHER LISTEN TO A RECORDING OF A MICROPHONE HIDDEN IN A REST STOP TACO BELL RESTROOM THAN A SINGLE SECOND OF THE EAGLES MUSIC OR MUSIC MADE BY ANY CREATURE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT WAR CRIME OF A BAND

@FLYguy3911 -- does this further raise your opinion of him or enormously raise your opinion of him?

I notice you didn’t ask me.

I forgot this existed. It shouldn’t work, but it does.

 

[Magua]

I notice you didn’t ask me.

I just assumed you read that and immediately went to YouTube to watch the music video for Johnny Cash's "Hurt."

this is a top 5 cover

I'm going to duct tape you to a chair and play this on an endless loop. After a couple of days you'll be begging for the Eagles
