The best-selling album of all time in the United States: The Eagles - Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) poll

Can't let him get back together with those Genesis guys...?

But I take it that the Eagles' influence has been huge on a generation or two of country music, and probably also on lots of pop music that doesn't necessarily mean anything to me.

I used to sometimes use "Take It Easy" in class as an example of 'the moment where music on the radio began to sound more like it does today'.

Anyway, I'm voting for "Witchy Woman".

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

That was my #2 pick.

Whoa... I'd like to hear this elaborated on. Or the concept spun off as the headline of a new thread.

production (particularly the piano) on One Of These Nights is a sumptuous thing.

lol this thread started a few months before the listening thread that destroyed many lives

I survived with my love of "one of these nights" "I can't tell you why" and "in the city" intact.

(And journey of the sorcerer obv)

the music for "One Of These Nights" is partly based on The Spinners' "I'll Be Around" - so obvious once you listen for it. lyrically it's pretty much the opposite tho... musically it sounds soft and soothing but the lyrics are heart of darkness emptiness. but oh the thrill of the chase &...

not that they didn't have it all on a platter (=emptiness in their case)

Renegade Soundwave wrote a song about Cocaine Sex, The Eagles lived it...
