I never really got into OMD, but what I heard, I liked. My architect brother Bob was a fan back in the '80s. Probably still is.

definitely won`t be everyone`s cup of tea. The documentary is super interesting, they were never setting out to conquer the music world, they thought they`d be far too weird for the mainstream to really get into, pretty humble dudes

Love the Eagles. But, they were never easy to like.


You two are forcing me to post some Eagles and Eagles related tunes. As I am at work at present, there will be a brief respite.

Even so, a promise is a promise. The tunes will follow.

haha, still won`t change my mind but go ahead friend. I actually had more appreciation for the solo efforts of the Eagles than their material when they were in the band, especially Joe Walsh

It's amazing that guy is still alive.

When Walsh joined the Eagles in 1975 -- his debut was Hotel California -- he made an immediate impact on their sound, bringing a bit of silliness to previously solemn proceedings, and, as important, first-rate, muscular lead guitar. He made them a rock n' roll band in a way they had never been before.

The result was one of the greatest selling albums ever released and a defining cultural touchstone of 1970s America.

Hotel California (1976), like much of the Eagles output, still stands up today.

There are many reasons for this; chief among them rigorously tight musicianship, consummate songwriting, superior lyrics, and pristine recording production.

The captains get their guitars out at least one night and play some great old tunes! One of them used to teach music in Chicago.

What do they play? Old folk stuff?

What do they play? Old folk stuff?

Beatles, James Taylor, Old Irish drinking songs, that old song Brandy (one hit wonder), John Denver, Jimmy Buffett....others. A few years ago they found out that Amanda was a big Tom Petty fan so they did Running Down a Dream. They are pretty good and folks sing along.

What a life.

My son is obsessed with this album. We literally listen to it every day, and have done so for about the last six months. In the car, at home. As a consequence, I’m learning more about Wilson. He’s an interesting dude, to say the least.

To say Brian Wilson is an interesting dude is to understate the matter considerably.

He is a straight up pop music genius.

As a singer, songwriter, arranger and producer, few are his equal.

"Music is the voice of God," Wilson
once said.

If the language is divine, Brian is a phenomenal interpreter who gave the world a glimpse of heaven.

All of this while contending with a bum right ear, an overbearing, abusive father, and lifelong mental illness.

It's a hell of a story,
