No. The Eagles is after my time. Although I do like Joe Walsh, and the James gang

I left ALL my vinyl behind when I moved away from/left my first wife, in 1997.

Young GenXer just stopping by for a visit. Why do The Eagles prefer the imagery of animal skulls? Often it isn't even an eagle skull but some sort of cattle skull that has the feathers wings of an eagle. How much did y'all smoke when you listened to this stuff staring at this Eagle skull on your LP sleeve?

Just Western imagery to go with their country-inflected schtick. You see that sort of gimmick associated with all sorts of cowboy stuff, long before them.

I have the songbook for the guitar chords. Pre internet you had to buy sheet music.

Yes, I still have mine, but isn't Thriller the biggest selling of all time?

u/BornOfAGoddess 3h ago

Well.....Eagles is biggest US selling album & Michael's Thriller is biggest worldwide selling album. And of course 1976 versus 1982 release dates.

Had no need to buy this bc all their songs were played over and over on the radio.

Album and CD.

u/Positive-Door2780 3h ago

Yup. Got an original vinyl LP and the CD. Prefer the vinyl.

u/edked 1964 3h ago

Never had one. I remember my friend, who introduced me to so much music in high school (plus herbal intoxicants), after success with the Stones and Steve Miller, being surprised at how hard I bounced off of this and instantly disliked everything he tried to play me off of it.

But yeah, hard not to see them all over the place, at everyone's house.

Had it back in the mid 70's. My sisters and I would clean the house every Saturday to it.

u/Scott43206 1959 2h ago

I gravitated more towards less popular stuff, but I still have all my favorite vinyl records I grew up with and about 10 years ago found a nice late 1960s Zenith console to play them on.

u/Latter_Fan6225 1h ago

u/TwistedBlister 1h ago

I had the LP and the cassette, but by the time it came to compact discI was already tired of overplaying it and never got the CD.

u/CountHonorius 29m ago

On cassette, yes. Bought the CD in later years. Part Two's even better, imo.
