Episode 338 - Eagles: The Most Successful Most Hated Band in History

So how does a band like Eagles have such a bad reputation for sucking… and sell THIS MANY ALBUMS!?! The mind boggles. The Beatles sold a lot of records, and people still love those guys. Michael Jackson sold a lot of records, and people forgave him for some really awful stuff I won’t mention lest I get some kind of “flag” from Apple. I’ll just say, “Jesus juice.” Google it. Anyway, Eagles (not “The” Eagles, because reasons,) didn’t interfere with any children, but people hate them all the same these days. Why? With such an impressive list of songs that were not only hits but are still cultural touchstones, how does this band still get the high hat from music fans? Glad you asked, because that’s what we’ll be talking about this week. Plus a lot of other stuff like Star Wars, The John Wickiverse, Wes Anderson, and probably more than you want to know about. 3:15 - Andor season 2 17:20 - Reacher season 3 23:00 - Ballerina 35:50 - The Phoenician Scheme 41:20 - Eagles (1:12:00 - Heartache Tonight) End on Don Henley must Die
