One of These Nights is my favorite. Hotel California is probably the best song, from a technical standpoint of songwriting and musicianship, but One of These Nights just puts me in a certain place and time in my memories. I can see myself drawing while laying down on the shag carpet in our house while my mom was working on something nearby. Radio was always on in our house. Love the bass line and vocals.

Really fell in love with the Eagles much later in life, long after their heyday, but I will mention three or four:

Old '55 is great and underplayed

Last Resort arguably their best song

Learn to be Still one of my favorites

PS: Live and unplugged version of Hotel California is >>>>> the studio version, but this opinion is probably greatly affected by having heard the studio version about 1,000,000 times.

Desperado or Lyin eyes easy

If I never heard hotel California again it would be fine with me it's the most overplayed song ever

Tequila sunrise is a great song too always reminds me of the scene in the sopranos when tony beats up the sporting goods store owner davey scatino cuz he's into him for like 50 large

No way to quantify this question, but I have sometimes wondered how much money supergroups have made over many decades off of their biggest album, if you added in concert ticket sales, record sales, downloads, royalties off of radio play, etc.

Some prime examples:

Eagles - Hotel Cali
U2 - Joshua Tree
Bruce - Born to Run
The Who - Who's Next


The dollar gross has to be an unbelievable number

You know what......."Dirty Laundry" just came on Sirius while I'm eating breakfast.


Got me thinking.



I honestly like that, You Belong to the City, and Funk 48/49...ALL more than any single Eagles song I can think of.
