Either way, seeing The Eagles would have to be rather special

Perhaps, if you are SemiDetachedFreefair and your music tastes are still informed by your dad's record collection.
But since I have been able to form my own opinions I find them rather dull.

My Dad never listened to The Eagles
It would have been a vast fucking improvement from the shit he used to listen to. To this day, I can think of only one artist both he and I like, Cat Stevens.

Many people like music that they heard growing up
even if that no longer fits with their general taste, it's nostalgia to some degree. But anyway you look at iot The Eagles were a great band.

I also really like Buddy Holly due to parents, however at present I'm listening to Fear Factory...

There's a band who were fucking brilliant at the peak of their powers
Demanufacture and Obsolete are superb albums

I still like Buddy Holly today, nothing wrong in that.
I guess my problems with the Eagles is more to do with them representing the point in history where the middle of the road took over.
The Eagles have their place in my musical past (I once took the trouble to learn all the lead guitar parts from Hotel California), but I'm over it now.

Nothing wrong with liking Buddy Holly

Fear Factory are excellent live, Dino Canazares started a chant of 'You fat bastard' aimed at himself, and was surprised that it was taken up with more vigour than he expected.

Andy Cairns from Therapy now gets really angry when people shout that.
But in early 2000s he used to find it funny.
