The Eagles' founders Don Henley and Glenn Frey were forthright in their desire to bring then-emerging country rock to new heights of commercial success. Formed in Los Angeles in 1971, they learned from their observations of the scene around them, and subsequently took their music to the top of the charts. They stayed there throughout the '70s, becoming synonymous with the sound of Southern California rock.
The band's first hit was with a song by Jackson Browne, and their first album also included a cover of "Ol' 55" by Tom Waits, but the bulk of the material they're known for was penned by Henley and Frey. This two-disc set wisely expands the original VERY BEST OF collection with important album tracks that have also long been band staples and favorites (such as the aforementioned Waits tune and a number of other songs from their pre-platinum first three releases). As is often the common industry-wide practice, there's also a new song, "Hole in the World."Rolling Stone (11/13/03, pp.100-1) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...It's a dream package that unerringly documents Henley and Frey's Eagle-eyed view of the 1970s, from the earthly paradise to fast-lane trap..."

Was This Very Best of The Eagles Music Review Helpful? Yes No Every song the average Eagles fan would want!
We only had one old "Eagles" LP vinyl album and decided to treat ourselves to an update. We are sure that we made the right choice! This CD set seems exceptionally clear and well-produced, and it contains every song that any average Eagles fan would ever want to hear, and a few more that they didn't know about. As you play these 2 discs, you will be instantly transported back to the early 70's, when the Eagles helped fill the gap left by the Beatles breakup. But don't worry, you'll also be carried forward all the way back to the new millenium. If you find yourself dancing in your own living room, that's OK. We did!
