The Burrito Brothers never really crossed my ears. Pure Prairie League was ruined for me when my 18 year old self had a girlfriend in '77 who had a roommate that played Amie over and over and over and over until she switched over to Foghat and played Slow Ride over and over and over and over until she went back to Amie.
As for the Eagles, my ear found them simultaneously pedestrian and pretentious; perhaps they just didn't fit my teenage sensibilities. When they were at their peak, I was kinda drifting between the Dead, New Wave/punk, modal jazz and a bit of glam.
