Fingul Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Depends on my mood - both are ace, although Creedence are easier to play on bass for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I love the Eagles, but CCR, especially their earlier stuff, had a whole lot of soul that the more clinically recorded Eagles songs don't have. I think the Eagle wrote better songs, but CCR played better music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Displaying my ignorance again, I know who the Eagles are/were, likewise CCR, but who or what is a Lebowski? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail Soup Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I don't get the Lebowski reference either...... However because heard Hotel California and Bad Moon Rising at too many open mics and folk circles I don't listen to either band I'm going neither. But at a guess I reckon CCR would more up my street.

Barking Spiders Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Generally I've no time for Eagles though I did like One of These Nights and for a while Life In The Fast Lane. As for CCR they seem to be a perennial fave on Planet Rock. For the life of me I dunno why. To my ears they sound very pedestrian, as rudimentary as AC/DC and I can't stand the guy's vocals.

Mykesbass Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Bit of an apples and oranges comparison. I like both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I used to play Green River when I was with the Wirebirds, other than that no contact with music from either of the bands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tegs07 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) I’m more into Labowki than either The Eagles or CCR but there wasn’t an option for that. If pushed would go CCR. The Eagles do what they do well but as Mr Waits said about Ol 55, “It’s a bit antiseptic” Edited May 28, 2021 by tegs07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a Cohen Brothers film and the main character expresses a preference between the aforementioned bands. It’s also highly recommended viewing.

BigRedX Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I quite enjoyed the occasional track by either band back in the 70s, and that where they belong. After Hotel California, Journey of the Sorcerer is probably The Eagles best known track even if most people aren't aware it's by them.

cetera Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I like both for different reasons.... but I'd take Tom Johnston-era Doobie Brothers (with their mix of country, r'n'b and southern rock) over both of them. Almost like a melding of the two.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casapete Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Although I love both bands, I’ve gone for The Eagles. All great vocalists, a solid legacy of albums and still going strong in their latest incarnation. Was a fan of Joe Walsh too before he joined them so that helps, same as with current member Vince Gill. Saw them at Stafford Bingley Hall in 1977 on the Hotel California tour, and the gig remains one of the best I’ve seen. CCR also had great songs, loved their more stripped down approach but like someone mentioned earlier I do find John Fogerty’s vocals a bit wearing after a while. Still a classic band though.
