Your opinion: The Eagles' Wal-Mart exclusive release...

[SteppingRazor]

Poll question: Your opinion: The Eagles' Wal-Mart exclusive release...

of their first album of all-new material in almost 30 years.

On edit: I should add that this poll is less a critique of the quality of the Eagles' music than an opinion poll regarding their deal with Wal-Mart. The quality of the Eagles music is, of course, a whole 'nother subject.

1. I think I enjoy (maybe) 3 eagles songs

I'm not chomping at the bit to buy this one.

[DS1]

2. I'll pull over and kick your ass out!

[MrCoffee]

3. man, the Eagles' haven't had a good song since, well, never.

they never had a good song.

maybe they're due?

4. Counterpoint -- 30 million American music consumers can't be wrong

The Eagles' greatest hits album is the best-selling album in U.S. history, and No. 2 on the worldwide list.

(For the record, I'm not a huge Eagles fan either, but somebody's gotta be hearing something worthwhile there.)

On edit: changed the numbers to be more accurate

7. your argument is that 30 million americans can't be wrong?

62,028,285 - Chimpy's popular vote count in 2004

8. Hey, I didn't say it was a good argument.

:shrug:

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. I think it's a perfect match - WalMart is totally their demographic

and the artistry of the Eagles is perfectly matched to that of Walmart.

6. How many farewell tours have the Eagles had?

I think once you hit 2, your band becomes irrelevant

[Richardo]

11. We're looking at YOU, 'The Who'...

:mad:

[LynneSin]

12. I was at the 89 Farewell tour - I really thought that was it for them

I think they owe me $49 for the damn ticket I bought

[Richardo]

13. Was that the first one? I went to that show in Boulder, CO

[LynneSin]

14. I think their first one was in 1983

but I could be wrong

[Richardo]

15. That would have been the one I went to...

I know I didn't spend anywhere close to $50 for it.

And the opening act was either Jethro Tull or John Mellencamp, I can't remember which. Or maybe I saw a show there where Mellencamp opened for Tull. :crazy: The 80s, man.

9. I like the Eagles

I don't care if they are sold at Wal Mart exclusively

I want some cornflake chicken from Olive Garden

and I had a rough night

:P

10. I don't like exclusive deals like this, period

Having an exclusive deal with Wal-Mart just makes it that much more unpalatable.
