First, I knew Frey professionally.
Secondly, you must think a lot of your self to be the arbiter of what is a "quality product". I know big time musicians who would give their left arms to be able to write and record a track like "Tequila Sunrise" and dozens more. So reality check.
Lastly, I see now, there was no error..it was the way the paragraph was structured. If you read it again, The "Fly Like An Eagle" mention was a reference to Steve Miller, mentioned in the previous paragraph. But because he strung it together with two Eagles albums, it was confusing.

I cant imagine any serious creative musician taking any of the mid to late Eagles work seriously. Also I have the support of just about many serious listeners and every critic to back my condemnation of The Eagles. But your statement about "product" speaks to the heart of this issue I think. But you are correct in that nobody really cares what I think or you for that matter. I cant imagine what I will post after Jimmy Buffett dies.
Since you seem to have high standards regarding language and editing, here's a list of all of the mistakes you made in this post:
"Cant" instead of "can't," twice.
It's not The Eagles, but simply Eagles, so a lowercase "the" would be correct.
You write that you "have the support of just about many serious listeners"? What? Is that a sentence?
In the same (sort of) sentence, you claim to have the support of "every critic." How was this determined? Did you poll every critic? I'm a longtime music writer/critic and enjoy several Eagles records quite a lot. Sweeping generalizations make for poor writing.
You're welcome.
Are you sure these are the only problems? My writing is getting better. Thanks!
Your opinion on music is as valid as anyone else's. I have nothing positive or negative to say about the Eagles, but if I did nobody should take it as anything more than a statement of preference. Nobody really gives a shit what "serious listeners" (whatever that is) or critics think. In my opinion, art criticism (of any form) is the most useless "profession" on the planet. But this is especially true with music.
Wow you get out much - what a pile of BS!
