OK, I'm comin' in late here, but I gotta respectfully disagree with one categorization. I think my Eagles belong in Country Rock rather than Easy Rock.

Those categories are nothing more than my own opinion. They (the Eagles) were in a class of their own, and for this listened, were vastly more listenable than the other 'country rock' artists of it's day. Like Anne Murray, who for some is strictly country, the Eagles were larger than that category. Again, this is strictly MY categorization when trying to divide the 70's music and it's artists. They could have been placed in the Super Star category too, like John Denver.

Good question. The things my children listen to would make me think, no...no good music.

And MTV changed. LOL

Got that right, bud! I've never recovered from their break-up.  :'(

I didn't want to sound like a real old timer (I don't think I am that old) but I do think and wanted to say earlier the music was so much better then, I think the stuff today is horrible.

But maybe that's because everything today is all about the money, not the music at all.
