The Eagles remain, to this day, one of the most influential bands
from the '70s. Yet, by the time of their breakup, they had only
released 6 studio albums. Of all their releases, one stands out from
the rest. Hotel California, was the first album featuring Joe Walsh as
a full-time member of the band. And what a change in their sound it
was! Apparently, it was viewed as a change for the better, since the
album fielded three number one hit singles, "Hotel California", "New
Kid in Town" and "Life in the Fast Lane". But also on this album you
will find other great songs like: "Victim of Love", "Last Resort" and
"Wasted Time". The album closest to this one is Their Greatest Hits
1971-1975, which is still one of the top selling albums in the U.S.
After that I'd recommend The Long Run (1979). |
