With Round 7 up and running, let's get to Round 8 as well.

This round pits two southern-style bands against one another.

The Eagles vs. Lynyrd Skynyrd

Both bands went a bit outside of thier original genre to create some truly unique tunes.

Vote now and have fun discussing!

:triangle:
 
Eagles

hands down. Rarely had a song I couldn't listen to. I have never been interested in skinning nerds, with the possible exception of Bill Gates.
 
I actually had to think onthis one a bit. I'm not seriously a big fan of either band, although I do respect 'em and they both have tunes I dig. LS had a real raw sound, full of testosterone and force and whiskey....Eagles had some of the more memorable tunes in rock before they all went psycho and started charging $1000 a ticket for a lousy 4th Reunion Tour.

In the end, however, I went with Eagles. Why? One word....

Freebird.

I'm a musician...and other musicians please back me up here. If I have to play at ONE more club and hear ONE more drunken hillbilly sister-rapin' mow-ron start ONE more obnoxious chant of "FREEBIRD!!", I swear I'm gonna see exactly how far up a human colon the neck of a Fender Jazz can fit....including the big-ass tuning pegs. I will NEVER play Freebird again as LONG as I live no matter HOW many people are screamin' for it.
 
SKYNYRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yes they call me the breeze I keep blowin down the road :couch:
 
Skynyrd all the way. So many classics!
In fact, I probably can't name a song that I didn't enjoy listening to.
 
Damn, that was a tough vote. I love both bands but I went with The Eagles simply because of "Hotel California" and it's fantastic guitarwork. Had this vote been posted tomorrow, maybe I'd have gone for Lynyrd Skynyrd because of "Free Bird," and IT'S fantastic guitarwork... and I love those songs despite having heard them 12,000,000 times apiece.

Why didn't you make this easier and post an Eagles vs. The Osmonds or Lynyrd Skynyrd vs. The DeFranco Family poll?!!!
 
WOW, this is gonna be a close one I think.

My vote is the Eagles.

Far more diverse musical styles, where sometimes if you have heard one Skynyrd song...you probably have heard them all.

EAGLES!

Oh FUCK...

I didn't even read any one's post's...I would be probably dissapointed..


Eagles...Eagles...EAGLES !!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Do NOT insult my intelligence!!

Choose between a bunch of southern rockers who played HONEST blues rock for their fans...

Or a bunch of greedy, rich, california 60 year olds who charge $350 for a concert ticket to play the same boring versions of their lame-ass 70s soft-rock hits? And you better not insult them or their work ethic or they'll break up again and won't reform for 20 years so they can tour when their 98 years old and charge $4500 for a concert ticket?

Skynyrd all the way!!

no contest

eagles...not only cause i like more of their music, but looking in a music diversity itself aspect, they were able to do rock, blues, hee haw country, soul/r&b and some raw funk grooves...skynyrd could not do all that. they were pretty confined to just one type music and sound. still i like em both, but eagles to me blow em away.
 
even tho im not a big fan of either of the two im gonna go with The Eagles
 
This one was a tougher choice for me but I ended up voting for the Eagles....
 
Eagles, without hesitation.

Skynyrd's instrumentation was pretty good, although I think they could have substituted some of those guitarists for other instruments. At least they had a piano player and a damned good one.

What really killed Skynyrd for me was their drawling vocals and drunken redneck lyrics. Gimme three steps, mister? :xlime: Come on.

The Eagles were initially a decent band with unusually good vocal harmonies. When Joe Walsh joined them, they improved tenfold.
 
I will NEVER play Freebird again as LONG as I live no matter HOW many people are screamin' for it.


Speaking as something of a hillbilly Skynyrd fan, may I please BEG you to never play Freebird again? No one should play Freebird but the boys of LS, imho.
 
*Ugh*

The Eagles ( *ugh* ) vs. Lynyrd Skynyrd ( *ugh* ) , eh?

Um , yeah ... no thanks. I'm stayin' away from this one. I'm not a fan of either band.
 
Hi Everyone,
Sorry I haven't been around in a while, but I just had to put my 2cents into this topic.
And although the Eagles are a really great southern rock band I had to cast my vote for Lynard Skynard (Excuse me if I misspelled them here)

So what song is it that you want to hear?
