Are you a Lebowski? Creedence or Eagles?

[Chiliwailer]

Jeff Lebowski was a CCR kind of guy, upsetting Eagles loving cabbies along the way.

In fun - being a CCR fan too, listening to Eagles recently made me think about Lebowski, the dude.  I’m not into all their stuff, but I won’t knock Eagles as the proof is clearly in the pudding, great talented band. Our rabbits love them, but not CCR 😂, which made me wonder what BC thinks?

The only Eagles track I can stand is Journey of the Sorcerer

Creedence all day long for me. Every time I hear the Eagles on the radio I can hear The Dude complaining 😂

'Hotel California' trumps 'Bad Moon Rising' by a very wide margin, for me (but I play drums, so what would I know..?).

Love a bit of Eagles, me.  Their O2 'History' gig (2014!  How did that happen?) remains one of the best gigs I have ever seen. 

Not so keen on CCR but still like a few of their chunes.

….but Fortunate Son trumps anything The Eagles have done. In fact, that album ‘Willy & The Poor Boys’ is a cracker.

That makes sense, our rabbits treat this place like a hotel, and are sh*t scared of being out when the moon is rising

Having never listened to 'em, I can't disagree. I'll maybe redress this. Thanks for the recommendation (if you're right..!  ).

So many good albums in addition, Green River, Cosmos Factory, Pendulum (but the skip the last track... southern rockers on acid ain’t pretty...). But if you like/dislike one, then you’re likely to like/dislike all

I have recently listened to more CCR than The Eagles, not sure what that says as some of that is down to someone else playing the music. I do have an occasional liking to Have You Ever Seen the Rain; especially one or two of the YT videos available.

Down on the Corner is one of the hardest songs I've ever played; sounds so simple, but very very very very hard to get the feel. CCR had a groove, Eagles were good, but never grooved. They came close, but never close enough.

Kinda early 70's Flea versus King thread this

[Beedster]

IIRC one of the BC members is in a CCR tribute by the name of Credence Clearwater Revival Revival. Now that's a name

Yes, indeed. One of the best tribute bands name ever. Always makes me smile when I think of it.

I don't know much about the Eagles, but I know what I don't like. I'm with the Dude on this.

[wateroftyne]

Eagles, but I have no issue with a bit of CCR.

Amazing choice, so you are forgiven.

Sorry, no match for me. I've not been converted; I'm out. 

[FinnDave]

Aren't they basically the same thing? I've played songs by both in various bands but couldn't say which was which.

No. No, they're not.

It's taken me a while to work out who Eagles are. I live near Wigan so have always thought the were called Th'eagles!

[Paul S]

One of my fave Eagles Tunes.  Doesn't get a lot of airplay and is a bit different to most of their stuff  

 

Be pleased to see some less known CCR recommendations.

Sticking with your theme of a bit different to most, this is great
