Looks like a good collection. I've got most of their stuff on cassettes and a few cds. I'll think about getting the box set if the price is reasonable.

An awful lot of people love to hate Eagles but time will be very good to them. I don't care what anyone says they were a great band with a great sound. If you listen to their stuff today it still sounds timely, not dated (much like Linda's recordings from 1972 on).

Quote by ronstadtfanaz:
A lot of that hate for the Eagles comes, not so coincidentally, from a lot of snobby, uptight New York City-based music critics, plenty of whom worked for Jann Wenner at Rolling Stone once that magazine vacated the Bay Area for Manhattan in 1977. I'd just as soon not name any names, because I think we know who most of them are, and why name morons anyway? Suffice to say, it's about those critics claiming that the Eagles glorified West Coast, particularly L.A./Hollywood, hedonism, booze, and drugs, as if NYC and other East Coast redoubts don't have the same issues too.
And probably most hypocritically of all, and here I am directly targeting Wenner and his magazine, the Eagles are somehow the ones most targeted for being misogynists. For one thing, they totally ignore other acts, particularly gangsta rap "stars", who are far worse in that area. For another, Rolling Stone itself has frequently promoted, whether wittingly or unwittingly, the same kind of misogyny that they accuse the Eagles of. And finally, folks, if the Eagles really "hated women", how could they ever have maintained a nearly half-century-long friendship with Linda, who was the one that bought them together?!
The Eagles may not have been a bunch of saints (to put it mildly), they had their issues, with drugs, with booze, and, on more on one occasion, with one another. But yes, their music is going to live on, long after many of today's "acts" have bitten the dust.
