Eagles’ Famous Songs — From Signature Tracks to Hidden Fan Favorites

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and have been contributing to music magazines and web media for over 15 years. Although Western music is my main field, I always strive to stay curious with the motto, “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in a band, where I was a bassist responsible for songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve performed on include bass, guitar, and piano. I resumed piano lessons after turning 40 and have been continuing ever since!

The Eagles, based on the West Coast and blazing through the music scene of the 1970s, achieved worldwide popularity.

From their early, breezy country-tinged numbers to the mid-to-late period where they leaned more into rock and tackled heavier themes, the songs they left behind include a long list of classics that have secured their place in music history.

In this article, we’ve picked out not only their signature tracks that almost everyone has heard at least once, but also fan favorites, hidden gems, and songs from after their reunion.

In conclusion

At the time of their formation, the Eagles were comprised of members with extensive careers, all rooted in country music.

Those elements were prominently featured in their early songs, but it is well known that they later leaned more into rock and broadened their musical palette.

The struggles they faced as they became rock stars and came to embody the spirit of the 1970s are vividly depicted, especially in their mid-period and later works.

With that historical context in mind, why not savor the brilliance of the masterpieces they left behind?
