Most Of Us Are SadThe Eagles32rank/position

Most of Us Are Sad (2013 Remaster)

It’s a hidden gem from their landmark debut album, Eagles.

Titled Desperado in Japanese, the song was written by Glenn Frey, but the lead vocals are handled by bassist Randy Meisner.

Built around acoustic guitar and unfolding in 3/4 time, the band’s ensemble is simple yet pleasing, and Meisner’s clear, pure vocals are truly beautiful.

The precise, quintessential Eagles harmonies are outstanding as well.

It may be overshadowed by their bigger hits, but it offers a taste of the rustic charm that defined the early Eagles.

One Of These NightsThe Eagles33rank/position

One of These Nights (2018 Remaster)

This is the title track of the landmark album One of These Nights, a defining masterpiece of 1970s American rock that became a massive hit and opens the album.

Written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey, it features lead vocals by Henley.

Their early country flavor recedes into the background here, giving way to a clear display of their musical direction with pronounced hard rock and funky elements.

The striking quality of the bass line in the intro is also not to be missed.

It’s said that the song’s funky character was brought in by Don Felder, for whom this album marked his full-fledged entry into the Eagles’ recording process.

Victim of LoveThe Eagles34rank/position

Victim of Love The Eagles

A track marked by a captivating guitar riff and a sweeping, majestic chorus, strongly infused with blues-rock elements.

It appears on the Eagles’ album “Hotel California,” released in December 1976.

The lyrics portray the complex emotions of someone swept up by love, powerfully delivered through Don Henley’s vocals, leaving a deep impression on listeners.

This piece is a fine example of the band’s musical range, and is recommended for those who want to enjoy a variety of styles—from country rock to hard rock.

Wasted TimeThe Eagles35rank/position

Wasted Time (Live at The Forum, Los Angeles, CA, 10/22/1976) (2018 Remaster)

A classic ballad where you can savor Don Henley’s wonderfully wistful vocals.

The lyrics capture the melancholy of a love fading away, and the positive words that close the song are truly moving.

As you can clearly hear on vinyl, the track is placed at the end of Side A on the album Hotel California, and the first track on Side B is a reprise in the form of an instrumental version—a stylish touch, isn’t it? It’s also included on Eagles Live, the band’s first live album released in 1980, so be sure to check that out as well!
