Why'd he hate the Eagles?
Is this an inside joke? He listens to Kenny Rogers, and the Eagles toured with them during that whole era. He listens to Creedence and Bob Dylan and some other folky shit.
But you have Hotel California and other Eagles songs during the movie.
Can someone explain the hidden memes here?
The Eagles are shit sellouts from the bay area and Duder is LA ride or die
>>63081183
The Eagles are from Los Angeles you fucking retard.
I was just thinking about this the other day while listening to the New Kid in Town. The Eagles are fucking cash and I remember his comment slightly annoying me when I watched this movie a few years back. Still don't understand it really.
>>63081176
nigga listens to metallica
too edgy to appreciate the eags
>>63081183

Don Henley is a faggot and probably partied with Dude and tried to suck him off
I'm with Billy on this one

No rings and batteries
>big fan of Big Lebowski
>big fan of the Eagles
Alas.
>>63081247
He banged young Stevie Nicks in her prime.
I think you're taking the lyrics of the "Boys of Summer" a bit too seriously.
>>63081176
Probably just to add a bit of character to him, sometimes there's just bands you don't like.
Also, notice how the music itself is a character in the movie. Big Lebowski's got his classical operatic shit, Dude has a bunch of folksy music, Bunny's into Elvis, Maude has her bizarre chanting. Jesus using a Mexican version of Hotel California was no accident: Dude hates Eagles and de Jesus, so de Jesus has their most famous song as their intro.
>>63081176
Took me many many years to finally appreciate the Eagles, and the fact that they cross genres in so many albums.
I still think their 70's era stuff with Randy is a bit samey, but overall a great band.
I think it's just a joke with nothing deeper.
The Dude is the kind of guy you'd expect to like The Eagles. The black Nation of Islam guy is the last person you'd expect to love The Eagles. I don't think there's anything deeper than an amusing situation.
i tohught because he associates them with the jesus?or was that nondiagetic soundtrack?
>>63081176
there's some bands that everybody likes, but you just never clicked with them
I for instance, have never fucking liked led zeppelin, I do not understand the appeal of that band, I just dont get it
>>63081389
This seems right. Especially where its such a minor thing to get thrown out of a cab over, and exactly the kind of thing the Dude lets go because who cares the whole movie.
>I hate the fucking Eagles man!
There is nothing else in the movie that the Dude hates, it humanizes him.
>>63081389
I can see the Dude listening to Peaceful Easy Feeling and liking it
>>63081176
the eagles just aren't rocking. The song the dude objected to was "peaceful easy feeling", which is overplayed, boring, and has no conflict. I always felt like they relied too much on harmony and less on substance though, so I enjoyed the exchange
>>63081447
>I do not understand the appeal of that band, I just dont get it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EVNeh9dasI
this should solve that
>make myself a white russian
>it fucking sucks
feel like the movie lied to me
maybe i got my portions wrong
Because the Eagles were overrated as fuck.
>>63081176
Because the Eagles are fuckin talentless hacks and not true folk or country, man. No matter how many Bob Dylan approvals, they're just SHIT. Also, they're mean.
>>63081176
I don't like the Eagles either, but sometimes they do strike gold, like this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmW5McLF-Uk
If I have to hear Tequila Sunrise one more time during my lifetime though, I will probably rip my ears off.
>>63081504
take a glass, put ice in it, cover the ice with vodka, put like 1/4 or 1/3 as much kalua in it, then fill it the rest of the way with milk
the trick is not overdoing the sweetness of kalua...if it gets lighter than coffee with a really good hit of milk youve gone too far
Well, it goes with his character, he listens to Dylan and Creedence. Dylan never compromised his artistic integrity, he didn't ever give a damn about the critics' opinion, etc, if the public embraced his music it was fine and if they didn't it was fine too. Tom Fogerty is a similar individual.
Eagles on the other hand were the poster boys of radio friendly rock for a long period of their career.
Jesus plays the Eagles while he bowls so they remind the Dude of a guy who annoys him.
>>63081447
It means you have good taste
The Eagles are too mainstream, too much of a consumer product for a counter-culture hippie guy like Lebowski.
>>63081600
This.
>>63081525
>not true folk or country
But why does that matter? I can't contend the talentless hacks bit.
>>63081320
But why the fuck does the respectable working man negro like the fucking Eagles, man? Shit makes no sense.
>>63081665
>But why does that matter?
Because the Dude values things that are genuine. He thinks the Eagles are pretenders.
>>63081447
Plagiarism aside, Led Zeppelin did make some good tunes, but I think a lot of it is boring.
They're no Yes or King Crimson, that's for sure.
>>63081590
>Dylan never compromised his artistic integrity
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
>>63081705
I think Zeppelin suffered most from their polarizing vocals. They had pretty solid people playing the instruments.
He hates the fact that it's overplayed, and it really was back then
It's just easier to say you hate them
>>63081498
you know, the music is technically impressive, well written, but I cannot stand plant's vocals
as soon as he starts shrieking and making dying cat noises, I have to turn that shit off
>>63081490
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmWWl65_juQ
>>63081718
in his eyes he didn't
![Yes-close[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/4KvDsft.jpg "Yes-close[1].jpg")
>>63081738
Nah, I think Plant was fine. Not as good live as in studio, but just alright.
It's just that a lot of it sounds samey to me in the long run. Not to turn this into /mu/, but I'd find more excitement in repeated listenings to pic related rather than any one album made by Zeppelin.
Also, as an amateur guitar player, the innovative styles of Fripp or Howe just appeal to me so much more than the blues inspired riffing of Page.
It's impossible to compare of course, and we all have our own subjective tastes, but there does seem to be this popular opinion that you have to love Led Zeppelin, otherwise your taste a shit.
Personally, I would say I like them, but don't love them.
>>63081525
>The Eagles: Greatest Hits (1971–1975) is the first compilation album by the Eagles, released in 1976. For many years, it was the best selling-album in the United States, and was the best-selling album of the 20th century in the U.S.[1]. It is currently tied with Michael Jackson's Thriller as the highest-certified album in the U.S. at 29x platinum
many many many people disagree with you
>>63081837
Does popular = good?
>>63081447
Pink Floyd's mind. Having some stoner mong fart pretentiously into my ear for twenty minutes isn't my idea of good music.
>>63081822
Yes has a couple of good albums, the rest is just them masturbating each other, you'll realize in time. I had my prog rock phase too.
He prefers "It Ain't Me" by Creed's Water Survival
>>63081522
They invented a new fusion sound between country, pop, folk that many other artists started copying, including Neil Young.
If anything, they're underrated.
>>63081837
This is exactly why The Dude hated them.
>>63081871
yep, makes sense. Fortunate Son is the archetypical anti-establishment 60's song.
>>63081866
If OG Pink Floyd is to spacey for you, might I recommend the Division Bell?
It's practically Pink Floyd minus Waters make a pop record, and it's pretty good, desu senpai.
>>63081837
>ad populum
THE
FACT
THAT
SO
MANY
>>63081590
>Dylan never compromised his artistic integrity
It's literally all he's been doing since the 80's.
The Dude didn't listen to Dylan's 60's era intellectual shit either, he listened to the 80's pop shit. The Dude was a pleb.
>>63081880
We get it, you like the Eagles dude, no need to get angry about it if someone else doesn't.
>>63081866
If a pop group like Floyd is too avant garde for you, what do you think of this?
>>63081447
Guns N' Roses is that band for me.
Axl Rose sounds like a dying cat in heat and I can't stand all that guitar wankery from Slash.
![71ukDDqeR-L._SL1264_[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/qsY8fzd.jpg "71ukDDqeR-L._SL1264_[1].jpg")
>>63081867
Nah, it's not really a phase, since it's been going steady for ten years now, since my early teens. I just like music with an overabundance of sounds and intricacies. I might have some form of musical ADD.
Pic related is also god-tier, so it's not just prog.
>>63081955
I hate GNR too, but not because of his voice. I dig weird or unconventional singing voices like Daniel Johnston, but Guns n Roses is in creative radio friendly pseudo edgy cock rock
>>63081955
Red Hot Chili Peppers for me. I like the funk but the vocals do nothing for me. I never go out of my way to listen to them.
>>63081176
Because Jesus likes Eagles and he hates Jesus
>>63081955
Guns N' Roses is nowhere near as venerated as Led Zeppelin though.
>>63081822
Fragile is a superior album, imo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY0c6qc95oI
>>63081985
>I like the funk but the vocals do nothing for me
Same. If they kicked out their annoying as shit vocalist I could probably listen to them as I like the sound of their music. But as soon as that faggot starts with his pseudo-rapping lyrics I can't stand it.
>>63081970
Axl's vocals didn't click for me until I listened to Coma, the way he sings the ending is impressive, dude has really malleable voice and isn't afraid to use it.
>>63081985
For me it's Rage Against The Machine. I just don't get it.
This remix is fucking sick though:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o05NFMWRHgs
>>63081985
>>63082017
RHCP is Primus for stupid babies
>>63082027
This is one of those bands that I like but never go out my way too listen to, as well.
>>63081867
>>63081961
I had to dial out of prog-rock once you realize that really, there are only about 5-6 great prog albums, and the rest is complete shit.
If you want to like prog, be prepared to listen to the same songs over and over and over until the end of time.
>>63082035
I really like RHCP...
>>63081863
in the Eagles case, yes
>>63082045
Are they the following?
In The Court Of The Crimson King
Red
Foxtrot
Selling England By The Pound
Fragile
Close To The Edge
>>63081961
Yeah, I got sick of it after playing in a band for two years in which we strove to get that sound, Gave me a lot of prerspective about the genre.
I tended to criticize "simpler" music just because it wasn't technically demanding or intricate enough, but with time I discovered the magic and genius that is required in creating a simple, effective tune.
>>63082068
Pretty much.
I'm this guy>>63081867
>>63082075
Foxtrot really never will get old for me though haha.
He listens to Moon Dog, man. Moon Dog, for fuck sake.
Eagles suffered from the same thing the Red Hot Chili Peppers did. They became the sound of California, and then got played over and over and over and over and over until you had no choice but to hate them.
Now that the Eagles aren't on loop on the radio anymore, it's easier to appreciate them.
>>63082075
I can understand that viewpoint. I'm still young and dumb, so I probably have a lot to learn.
In the meantime though, I'll be blasting those King Crimson records.
>>63082116
Moondog is patrician as fuck.
>>63081927
Captain Beefheart is a legacy band, that gets attention because Master Memester Tom Waits stole his entire shtick from this band.
I don't care for either of them, but at least Captain Beefheart had some unique and inventive production styles.
Anyone else grow up listening to records with their dad? I mean on a record player. My dad didn't give up records until CD players were affordable.
>>63082027
>>63082044
I listen the shit out of Rage, fantastic fucking bass and funk work there.
Zach's anti-white lyrics get sooo fucking old though, goddamn.
>>63082166
No. My dad hated records. I had to buy them myself.
Then again, I caught my dad listening to linkin park once.
>>63082068
basically
>>63082190
My dad loves Rammstein. Then again most people grow out of caring about people judging their taste in music.
>>63081985
>>63082017
RHCP has only 3 records with somewhat Funk influences, the rest is soft pop rock for teenagers.
>>63081910
He recorded with the Traveling Wilbury's in the 80's tho
>>63082177
>Zach's anti-white lyrics get sooo fucking old though, goddamn.
That's a turnoff for me as well. It's pseudo-rebellious music, appealing to leftists who are actually delusional enough to think they're fighting the system, when they are literally holding it up.
I think the closest thing to a truly anti-establishment, relatively mainstream band is Radiohead. Maybe I browse /pol/ to much, but I hear a lot of rebellious shit between lyrics.
>>63081183
saved for future bait on lebowski threads
>>63082222
In my defense I had a math class around the time Californication came out and the teacher let us listen to music. The only CD's he had were that and Bob Marley's greatest hits. So most Chili Peppers I've heard is from one of their funk albums. Also learned I liked Bob Marley and not because of dude weed lmao.
>>63081215
He was a roadie for them and said they were assholes, he never gave an opinion on them either way.
>>63082247
Only anti authoritarian and anti political correctness band I can think of that wasn't under the radar like Zappa or punk bands is Devo (whip it guys)
>>63082216
lol, that's the moment when you outpatrician /mu/'s wildest dreams
>>63082259
lol, Californication isn't one of their funk albums
>>63081447
>>63081866
shit taste general
>>63082333
There are funk songs on that album.
>>63081176
>the dude is a jesus type character,
>Jesus the Bowler is introduced with a rendition of a song by the Eagles
>the dude later confirms he hates the eagles
I figured it was a hint at duality.
>>63082399
nah, there are pop songs, and some of them have bits that have funk influences, Over the top of my head just Right on Time and Purple Stain make the cut.
They haven't done straight up funk since Blood Sugar.
>>63082493
Stop being pedantic.
>>63082525
Not saying Californication is a bad album, just not a funk album, stop being delusional..
>>63082556
I said I liked the funk. I never said it was a funk album. There are songs on that album that are funky. That is an objective fact. You're being a pedantic faggot.
>>63082574
haha whatever floats your boat m8
>>63082399
there's a skit on Dr. Dre's "the Chronic" in which rapper Snoop Dogg talks about his testicles but you don't hear people talking about that album as "The Ballsack" by Dr. Ballsack, do you?
>>63082045
You have to expand your horizon past the English scene and get on the Italian one, that's where most good shit came from
>>63082574
pretty great B8 you're throwing out bro i've been thinking that you're an aggravating faggot for literally this entire thread
DUDE
>>63082717
Suspiria's soundtrack by Goblin is patrician desu
>>63082717
>not French
>>63082818
Well also, the important thing is to get away from the sameness of most English prog
Fuck off /mu/
>>63082919
>implying /mu/ discusses anything by niggers
>>63082948
Careful, hotpockets actually came down on me for rule 3 the other day.
>>63082948
implying they don't suck Kendrick Lamar's ballsack all day. They even liked Soulja Boy when he was a thing, but are too self conscious to accept it.
>>63081447
I'm with you on Led Zep. Cannot stand them.
The Eagles are shit though, they only wrote one genuinely great song and that was One of These Nights
>>63085265
>He hasn't watched 'Hell Freezes Over' on a GOAT sound system
Wow.
>>63082973
>implying /mu/ is one person
>>63082035
They really don't have much in common besides slap bass and shit vocals, but its a completely different kind of shit vocals. Saying that as a big fan of Les Claypool, dude sounds like a muppet.
>>63085406
No one said so retard, also it takes a thick skull like yours to not realize that boards tend to gravitate towards a generally accepted consensus on certain things.
Or are you going to imply that one person does all the baneposting here?
>>63082279
Devo's underrated, but not as good as they could have been. I feel like they had a lot of potential they didn't live up to. Mark Mothersbaug's the fucking man though.
>that Crash 3 soundtrack
>>63085836
calm yr autism matey
Because Eagles has some shitty songs like The Beatles.
It was pleb tier music during their time.
>>63085914
no fucko
>>63081176
He was confused he actually hated the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team and thought they were the ones making that music.
>it's a /tv/ dadrock thread
>>63081176
Because the Eagles were just a bunch of back-up studio musicians who sucked until based Joe Walsh joined them for their final few years.
>>63081176
It's just a character. It's a movie of characters. There are no reasons other than to drive the scene where he gets kicked out of the cab.
All the Jew Priest Brothers do is write characters and see how they interact. It's genius.
>>63086731
this, character motives drive the plot, not the other way around like in capeshit for instance.
>>63081261
More like Billy JUST
This joke is just an echo of The Eagles conundrum. The Eagles are probably the most 'absolutely love them or absolutely fucking despise them" band out there. You'll never hear middle ground when it comes to The Eagles.
Because The Eagles are fucking terrible. It's impossible to enjoy Bob Dylan and then listen to The Eagles. You are either too dumb, in which you case you won't like Dylan or have good taste, in which case you'll hate the Eagles out of principle
