Nice pick, KQ!

I hope so.

I know it’s popular to say that since that movie came out but no one ever really said that prior to the Big Lebowski. They probably suffer from over saturation and that might be part of the sentiment. Mostly it’s just people trying to sound cool. You could probably substitute any popular band from the past 60 years and people would parrot the movie line.

The over saturation on the radio was real but I thinks Glenn’s egomania and drama is what really got eyes rolling about the group. They had some absolute bangers.

Same goes for Fleetwood, pound for pound pure bangers with a lot of dumb drama overshadowing their music.

[MagnificentUnicorn]

This is incorrect.

I certainly don’t remember that sentiment being ubiquitous. I was never a fan myself but the music isn’t offensive just overplayed

Yup, the whole Eagles Hate thing is classic contrarian herd conformity.

What made the Big Lebowski scene funny is that it had not yet occurred to anyone at the time to hate the Eagles. This guy, The Dude, had been hassled and abused all day, and finally he’s in the safety of a cab, with the bland calming sound of Peaceful Easy Feeling on the radio, and then he gets kicked out; why? because, of all the things for a mellow guy like The Dude to hate, he hates one of the most inoffensive bands in the history of popular music. That’s the joke!! He seems to dislike a harmless mellow tune by the Eagles more than he has a problem having his head shoved into a toilet. If the cabbie had been playing disco, or Yoko Ono, or We Built This City, or anything truly hate-worthy, the scene would have made sense, instead of being off the wall and funny.

[El Chupacabra]

Mojo Nixon's "Don Henley Must Die" long predated the Big Lebowski.

I saw him do that live, I could appreciate the sentiment. Mojo was cool

Okay, I was a tad hyperbolic; hating the Eagles, pre-Lebowski, had occurred to some. And there was the whole punk movement, which broadly rejected the over-polished style that the Eagles were a fine example of.

Eh. Try listening to Peaceful Easy Feeling with fresh ears, trying to ignore that the music already lives in your head. It isn't so bad. Not groundbreaking, but not every song needs to be a Born To Run or Blitzkrieg Bop. Whatever, it was overplayed, that's all. I have no interest in listening to my Beatles albums any more, either, and the Beatles were awesome.
