Desperados, Loiterers, Millionaire Misanthropes, The Boys in the Band, Greedy Bastards, The Egos, Hall of Fame Inductees or the most known, The Eagles are one of the most popular rock bands of all time. They are under the rock and roll hall of fame as well as receiving many music awards on top of that. The members of the band consisit of: Don Felder (guitar), Glenn Frey(guitar, vocals), Don Henley (drums, vocals), Bernie Leadon(guitar, mandolin, banjo), Randy Meisner (bass, vocals), Timothy Schmit (bass, vocals), and Joe Walsh (guitar, vocals). They all met up in Los Angeles in 1971 when they came up with many hit songs which eventually led to them going on concert in 1971. They made 5 albums together but by the middle of making the 6th album, The Long Run, they had hit a breaking point. “The peak of the eagles was around the time of Hotel California,” noted Henley in an interview in 1982.
After breaking off for a while, The Eagles decided to do a comeback tour in 1994. They recorded a new song as well as played a total or 12 songs from the past. It was a success, which eventually let them to create their greatest hits 1971-1975 CD that sold 26 million copies. The Eagles were nominated for a 2008 CMA Award in the Vocal Group of the Year category in the 2008 CMAs and is currently going on tour now.
If you don’t consider the Eagle as one of the most well known and successful rock groups, I don’t know what you would consider successful. If I had the money, I would love to see them in concert. The tickets are currently going for $200 a piece throughout the world.
