With five Number 1 singles and six Number 1 albums, the Eagles are one of the most successful recording artists of the decade.

At the end of the 20th century, two of their albums, Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971--1975 and Hotel California, ranked among the ten best-selling albums according to the Recording Industry Association of America.

The best-selling studio album Hotel California is rated as the thirty-seventh album in the Rolling Stone list "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time", and the band was ranked number 75 on Rolling Stone's 2004 list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

They are also the best-selling American group ever, with Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971--1975 being the best-selling album in the U.S. to date.

The seeds for the Eagles were planted when Linda Ronstadt's then-manager John Boylan recruited session musicians Glenn Frey, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner to back Ronstadt.

The first single and lead track, "Take It Easy," was a song written by Glenn Frey and his neighbor and fellow country-folk rocker Jackson Browne.

Joe Walsh had already established himself as a solo artist in the 1970s before and during his time with the Eagles, but it was uncharted waters for the others.

Off of this album came the Billboard No. 5 hit and classic rock radio staple, "Boys of Summer."

He would not release another album for five years until 1989's The End of the Innocence.

This album was also a major success and included the hits "The End of the Innocence," "The Last Worthless Evening" and "The Heart of the Matter". The Eagles continue to sell out live concerts across the United States.
