My band, (I don't play much anymore) but see used to play quite a few eagles songs. They were relatively easy to play and people enjoyed hearing them. Frey definitely put his name in the books, rip.

I fail to see how anybody dying is ever a good thing.
Here's an interesting take on Frey's death.

You mourned David Bowie, but you mock Glenn Frey. Why? | Music | The Guardian

@TitoFan , I'm not going to read that article, and I agree nobody should mock Glen frey directly(even if maybe I did) If you don't personally know someone, then you're only going to mourn them if something they did or put out there in life moved you or people around you, otherwise it's no different than anyone else dying anywhere. I'm not a huge Bowie fan, but he was undeniably innovative and talented, and I enjoyed listening to his music. The Eagles? Yeah right.

I feel a sense of sadness (mourning is stronger and is reserved for friends and family) when any famous musician dies.
Slightly less so when it's a rapper.

Coincidentally, they had been showing the documentary History of the Eagles on Showtime even before Frey died.

As with any musical group, the Eagles had their fans and their haters. What is fairly unarguable is that they were a hugely popular group in their time, and helped define a generation of music fans. I myself find their music easy to listen to, although I don't like all their songs. It brings back memories, as music tends to do.
