Jethro Tull - Eagles

Does the intro of the Tull song 'We Used to Know' remind you of a certain The Eagles' song...?

From the # 1 Tull fan

not sure - give me a hint - a slower Eagles tune or faster one? If anything, I'm thinking either Best of My Love or Hotel California.

Let me know.

Tull vs. Eagles

I'm sure I read somewhere that Ian Anderson himself reckons the Eagles ripped off WUTK for HC.

Edit:

After a bit of research (sad git that I am) it seems that Don Henley wrote HC after getting inspiration from touring with Tull.

Yes, I was thinking of 'Hotel Californa'. I'm no Eagles fan myself so I didn't connect it the Tull song until a person brought my attention to the similarities.
