    So first it was The Eagles (Post Linda Ronstadt?), then Nickeback, and now Maroon 5?

    This. Although In the City, particuarly the soundtrack version, is one bad-ass tune. That and fast lane is all that's on the phone.

    worth your time. I liked the Eagles well enough but so many of their hits just got played and played into the ground. See above.

    When I was 17 I spent a lot of time with deep purple in the tape deck floggin my mom's Tercel around the back roads. I didn't mind it back then. It fit the mood.

    To continue with that non-relatedness* I sometimes play The Flying Burrito Brothers radio on one or another streaming service, and the NRPS come up in the rotation, and I’m kind of amazed at how some the songs they wrote weren’t very good, just stoner hippie western wanna-be. I liked them at the time though, just that these days they seem kind of thin.

    * but NRPS, Commander Cody, the Eagles, etc. all basically owe a big part of their careers to Gram Parsons and his work with the Byrds, the International Submarine Band, the FBB**, and GP’s solo stuff. That LA ‘country’ scene. There’s a rabbit hole for you to go down sometime.

    ** like Bernie Leadon was in the FBB and the original line up of the Eagles.

    And finally, Take It Easy was really a pretty good summer radio song, but by the time Hotel California came out I wanted never to hear them again.

    ^ Oh yeah, and Poco.

    Which reminds me that Buffalo Springfield and solo Neil Young threw out some nice LA country cuts.

    Of course Take it Easy was not written by them (Jackson Browne) but I agree. Hotel California made me want to maim and kill after a minute.

    Gram Parsons was so seminal in that SoCalCountryPop, and it was BIG tribe in those days.
