Souther, a key figure deeply connected to the early Eagles and indispensable to any discussion of 1970s West Coast rock.

Eagles – Desperado (Live from Melbourne) (Official Video) [4K]

“Hotel California” and Billy Joel’s late-70s to 80s era enjoyed special worldwide popularity, including in Japan, and produced numerous classics.

Many people likely began listening to Western music with Billy.

Among them, this piano ballad is a masterpiece you should savor by reading the lyrics.

At times gentle, at times intense, Billy’s voice shines with an evergreen brilliance.

Already GoneThe Eagles26rank/position

Already Gone (2013 Remaster)

A flawless, undeniably cool number that kicks off On the Border and lets you savor the crisp charm of American rock! Also known by its Japanese title “Sugita Koto” (“Already Gone”), this track boasts an irresistibly punchy guitar riff ringing throughout, and of course a blistering guitar solo from Don Felder—who was invited during the album sessions and ended up joining the band—that absolutely tears it up.

Although it wasn’t written by the band members, it perfectly balances their early country flavor with a harder rock edge, reminding us just how exceptional the Eagles are at arranging songs.

Hole in the WorldThe Eagles27rank/position

Hole In The World (Bonus Track)

With a legendary band like the Eagles, attention inevitably tends to focus on their hit songs and classics from the 1970s, which can be considered their heyday.

Here, let’s introduce a track included on the 2003 best-of album The Very Best of the Eagles.

The song was written by original members Don Henley and Glenn Frey, and does not involve Don Felder, who had participated in the 1994 reunion.

It’s a calm piece distinguished by skillful vocal harmonies, but what’s important is that it is a response song to the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States.

With that historical context in mind, take your time to read through the lyrics as you listen.
