| The Eagles soared out of their roots as L.A.-based, country-flavored, harmony-heavy rockers to become the defining artists of the phenomenally popular '70s Southern California rock scene, they delivered four consecutive #1 albums that decade. Ultimately, they became one of the all-time biggest acts in contemporary music. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, they made the RIAA's elite list of Artists Of The Century in 1999. The Eagles first best-of collection, Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 with sales of over 28 million remains the #1 top-selling album ever. Highlights:
First-ever comprehensive 2-CD best-of compilation from these record-breaking, multiplatinum superstars.
33 remastered career-spanning hits, signature tracks, album favorites, and the acclaimed new single "Hole In The World."
| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Initial pressings included a bonus DVD. | | THE VERY BEST OF includes a 46-page booklet with pictures and track information. | | The Eagles: Bernie Leadon (vocals, guitar, slide guitar, pedal steel guitar, banjo, mandolin); Don Felder (vocals, guitar, slide guitar, steel guitar, keyboards); Glen Frey, Joe Walsh (vocals, guitar, slide guitar, keyboards); Randy Meisner (vocals, guitar, guitarron, bass); Don Henley (vocals, drums, percussion); Timothy B. Schmit (vocals, bass). | | Producers: Glyn Johns, Bill Szymczyk, Eagles, Elliot Scheiner, Rob Jacobs. | | Compilation producer: The Eagles. | | Recorded between 1972 & 2003. | | "Hole In The World" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. | | The Eagles (Rock): Don Felder (vocals, guitars, slide guitar, steel guitar, keyboards); Bernie Leadon (vocals, guitars, slide guitar, pedal steel guitar, banjo, mandolin); Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh (vocals, guitars, slide guitar, keyboards); Randy Meisner (vocals, guitarron, bass guitar); Timothy B. Schmit (vocals, bass guitar); Don Henley (vocals, drums, percussion). | | Additional personnel: Steuart Smith (electric guitar); Al Perkins (pedal steel guitar); David Sanborn (alto saxophone); Jim Ed Norman, Will Hollis (piano); Jay Oliver (keyboards); Scott Crago (drums, percussion). | | 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." |

| | Artist Overview | | Throughout the 1970s, the Eagles couldn't lose. Each record was bigger than the last; each single seemed to play all summer long. At the forefront of the country-rock movement, the Eagles also typified so-called soft-rock and album rock. Their masterpiece, HOTEL CALIFORNIA, effectively captured the decadence of drug-crazed '70s L.A., wrapped in hook-filled, easily digestible tunes. The members parted ways in the early '80s, and Don Henley and Glen Frey went on to high-profile solo careers. They reformed in the '90s for the inevitable, hugely successful reunion tour. |

A Listener from Lubbock, Texas
I have enjoyed listening to these CD's. At last I have all of the Eagles songs that I have wanted, and at a fantastic price. I have bought other "greatest hits" but none have included all of my favorites. The Eagles are timeless and my kids don't groan and complain about listening to my "old" music!
