Eagles Album: “Best of the Eagles [Asylum]”

Their were few bigger or more influential bands to come out of the 1970s than The Eagles.

From the albums came:

Eagles (1972):

Take It Easy.

Peaceful, Easy Feeling.

Desperado (1973):

Desperado.

Tequila Sunrise.

On The Border (1974):

Best Of My Love.

One Of These Nights (1975):

Lyin' Eyes.

Take It To The Limit.

One Of These Nights.

Hotel California (1976):

Hotel California.

New Kid In Town.

Life In The Fast Lane.

The Long Run (1979):

Heartache Tonight.

The Long Run.

I first bought the album One Of These Nights and then the remainder above, but to have just one CD which covers many of their best songs is very welcome.

Of the total of 60 minutes music I prefer the driving Take It Easy, the soft Peaceful, Easy Feeling, the soaring Take It To The Limit and the mystifing Hotel California.

Larger collections are easy to find, but this one takes me back to the 1970s West Coast all on one disc.

Never mind that this is missing "Victim of Love", "The Sad Cafe", "Ol '55", "Doolin-Dalton", "Outlaw Man" and the Christmas single (among others)...it's actually missing four of their greatest hits!

Missing in action:

* ALREADY GONE

* WITCHY WOMAN

* LIFE IN THE FAST LANE

* I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY
