Best news I’ve heard all week….the Eagles “Greatest Hits
Album 1971-1975” has surpassed Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” album as the #1
best seller in America of all time. With
that the halls of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame can rest easy…finally.
I have both albums and of course it’s just my opinion but MJ
can’t hold a candle to the Eagles. My
favorite songs on each...well for the Eagles it has to be “Desperado” and “Billy
Jean” by Michael has a catchy beat. But you have to look at the whole album…all the songs…and the
lyrics. Face it would you rather be stranded on an island with one album taking it easy while watching a tequila sunrise or listening to
some Halloween chant. Give me that
peaceful easy feeling any one of these nights and you can keep your video of
zombies prancing around.
Worldwide “Thriller” still holds the #1 spot…just give it a
bit more time for the world to appreciate the Eagles as one of the best…if not
the best…rock band ever. We all have our
tastes, our likes and dislikes, but as I’ve said before the lyrics send the
message while the music provides the beat.
Look closely at the lyrics of each album….each song….and you’ll see a
stark difference in the messages.
Even though there are folks that prefer the beat of “Thriller” the musical aspects, the
pitch and tone changes, the rhythm and vibe, and the overall musical story line…all
belong to the new #1 in America…the Eagles.
Long may you rock and over your enemies....roll.
