I enjoy music, and I have no desire to ruin that enjoyment by passing judgement and being a snob about what's "good" music and what's "bad" music. I just enjoy music. I enjoy Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Opera, Big Band, Jazz, Dixieland, Barbershop Quartet, Rock of all kinds from Abba to Guns and Roses to Pink Floyd to Chicago to Metalica, and every flavor in every direction from there. A couple evenings ago I got excited when I found some new Rudy Vallee recordings I hadn't heard before. Hell, I even get a kick out of Tiny Tim singing Tiptoe Through the Tulips. And yes, I drink whichever brand of beer is on sale, and relish every sip. I would just a soon go to Taco Bell as to a fancy French restaurant, Although I assure you I will enjoy the everloving hell out of whichever place I go. I love life, and I love everything it has to offer, and I'm not about to diminish that enjoyment by being fussy and snooty about music, beer, or food, and eliminating a great number of sources of genuine enjoyment.

Whether is Hotel California or Teressa Brewer belting out Put Another Nickel In, or anything at all by Frank Sinatra, I'm going to listen to it, and I'm going to enjoy the hell out of it. and I feel sorry for people who can't find as much enjoyment as I do in all that music.

Glenn Frey�s death is sad, but the Eagles were a horrific band [View all] HuckleB Jan 2016 OP

.... Cal Carpenter Jan 2016 #1

Blasphemy! KamaAina Jan 2016 #2

There is one act that is worse, so we should clarify that. HuckleB Jan 2016 #7

I would take that list with a grain of salt. KamaAina Jan 2016 #57

I admit that I liked some of those bands, at first, but all of them faded with time. HuckleB Jan 2016 #61

No. 9 is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. KamaAina Jan 2016 #64

And...? HuckleB Jan 2016 #66

Thereby proving my point that that list is mostly bogus. KamaAina Jan 2016 #81

OK, then. HuckleB Jan 2016 #84

Sorry, poor word choice, DirtyHippyBastard Jan 2016 #203

You're correct, IMO -- I hate KISS... GReedDiamond Jan 2016 #256

KISS were the muzak equivalent of the New York Dolls and the MC5. Erose999 Jan 2016 #353

Yes, KISS far exceeds any of the band listed as the worst. MoonchildCA Jan 2016 #382

I'm not bashing Frey, but yes, the Eagles were terrible. Action_Patrol Jan 2016 #240

Yeah...because the Eagles were not a rock and roll band at all jmowreader Jan 2016 #249

They sucked as a country band, too. HuckleB Jan 2016 #280

True dat, but it doesn't change what they are jmowreader Jan 2016 #282

They didn't market themselves as country. HuckleB Jan 2016 #286

Flying Burrito Brothers > Eagles. Edgier, less stodgy, more fun. Gram Parsons set the blueprint for Erose999 Jan 2016 #345
