The Eagles Band

I saw that the Eagles search was a popular trend for google users so I thought I would put up the a little information that I have found from Wikipedia.

The Eagles are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California during the early 1970s.With five number-one singles and six number-one albums, the Eagles were 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 magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, and the band was ranked number 75 on the magazine's 2004 list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[1] They also have the best selling album in the U.S. to date with Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971–1975.[2][3]

The Eagles broke up in 1980, but reunited in 1994 for Hell Freezes Over, a mix of live and new studio tracks. They have toured intermittently since then, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.

In 2007, the Eagles released Long Road out of Eden, their first full studio album in 28 years.

A lot more information can be found at wikipedia as well.
