Slaughterhouse 5 eclipses most all anti-war books due the autobiographical back-story Vonnegut brought to it. How anyone could find it to have more 'whimsy' than Catch-22 is really beyond me.
Is that one of those examples of saying two books are very similar when really they're not at all, like Catcher/Rye and Separate Peace?
I'm agreeing with the Petty choice. Not a big Eagles fan
But, judging by the record sales of the Eagles' two Greatest Hits releases (and the amount of familiarity many people have with many of their hit songs) it would appear rather obvious that there are plenty of people who would choose them as the 'quintessential greatest hits band'.
Sounds about right.
Theyir show at Bonnaroo last year (presumably the same as everything else on their tour) sounded pretty much like a 2 disc hits compilation straight from the stereo. With the exception of Stevie Nicks' appearance for a handul of songs anyway.
I'm sure everyone knows at least a few of the hits.
