AS A GENERAL RULE OF THUMB, IF YOU CAN'T THINK THEN PUNCH...I HAVE OFTEN ENVISIONED MYSELF HANGING OUT AT SOME PARTY I SOMEHOW SNUCK INTO WAY WAY UP IN THE HOLLYWOOD HILLS OR SOME PLACE...AND THERE IS DON HENLY AND GLEN FREY AT FIRST HAVING A FEW CASUAL DRINKS AND THEN BY THE END OF THE EVENING ARGUING WITH EVERYBODY FOR NOT SUPPORTING THEIR SIERRA CLUB CAUSE OR OTHER BENEFIT OR SOMETHING...THEN THERE ATTENTION TURNS TO ME AND I END OF RUNNING FAST FROM THESE TOO GHOULS DOWN SOME SEEDY ALLEY WAY WAY UP IN BEL AIR...AND I'M THINKIN' THESE TWO GUYS HAVE THE COMBINED BRAIN CELLS THAT ARE ABOUT 50 YEARS BEHIND TOMMY LEE, GEORGE W. BUSH, AND PAMELA ANDERSON COMBINED...AND THEN I WAKE UP ! IT WAS ONLY A DREAM THANK GOD...THEIR MUSIC ?? ITS AWESOME...( DON'T BEAT ME UP GLENN )..."BEST OF MY LOVE" IS A 70'S MEMORY...I CAN HEAR IT PLAYIN' IN MY HEAD WITH TRIPS UP TO LAKE GREGORY AND LAKE ARROWHEAD IN 75' 76' WITH THE DAD N MOM N SIS N BRO...THEN THERES..."Already Gone"...a really cool country like tune that I wish the Dead could have written more songs like...one of my favorite songs is the excellent "Take it to the Limit"...which has a superb sing along melody for the car when yer stuck in traffic on the 405...These guys cleverly combined country, rock and excellent ambiance and killer song writor hooks...definitely a fine tuned skill that the Eagles have over just about every other band on the planet...they somehow pull all this off without sounding at all like the Dead or Jim Croce...I don't think really the Eagles are as good as those other two..BUT IN SOME WEIRD PROFESSIONALISM WAY...THE EAGLES ARE WAY BETTER ! (F..N' LEAVE ME ALONE DON )...ANYWAY..DESPERADO IS THE ONLY SONG HERE THAT I HATE,...BUT IT IS GOOD AND WE HAVE ALL HEARD WITCHY WOMAN ENOUGH TO HAVE THAT TAPE MELTED DOWN AT THE RECORD COMPANYS VAULTS FOREVER...AND EVERY COPY ON EARTH DESTROYED...BUT I WOULD HIDE MY OWN PERSONAL COPY FROM EVERYONE AND I WOULD SELL IT FIFTY YEARS FROM NOW..(IF I'M STILL HERE)...ANYWAY...ANYWAY, I WOULD NEVER HANG OUT WITH THESE TWO GUYS AND THEY WOULD NEVER NEVER NEVER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME ..OR ONE NICE WORD TO SAY ABOUT ME...BUT THEIR MUSIC IS SPECTACULAR !! BUY THIS...BUT GET MORE INTO THE DEAD, NIEL YOUNG, AND CSNY, ETC....they're cooler dudesFree Music Review: Eagles Greatest
Hit: 5 Stars
These songs are timeless classics. The Eagles are truly a great American rock band. They have so many different styles. Rock, Country, mixed into one. That's a pretty combanation when they do it. They can also be hard rock sometimes. But anyway, let's get to the album. I've heard this is the best selling Greatest Hits album ever. I bet it probably is. Here are the songs:
1. Take It Easy (4.5/5) It's okay
2. Witchy Woman (5/5) A good song
3. Lyin' Eyes (5/5) My 3rd fav
4. Already Gone (4.5/5) It's okay
5. Desperado (5/5) My 4th fav
6. One Of These Nights (5/5) My No. 1 fav
7. Tequilla Sunrise (5/5) Love it
8. Take It To The Limit (3/5) My least fav
9. Peaceful, Easy Feelin (4/5) Not that good
10. Best Of My Love (5/5) My 2nd fav
This is truly a gem in your music collections. The Eagles are great and so are the songs. Enjoy

Free Music Review: Long Time Fan
Hit: 5 Stars
I have to say, I have been a life long fan of The Eagles. I was raised on their music and it's never gonna fade. I think they are one of the greatest bands of all time and all their songs create memories for those who listen to them. Their songs are filled with passion and emotion. Great job with all your hard work guys!!! Keep it up!Free Music Review: Great album but not the best selling
Hit: 4 Stars
I like the Eagles, and I do enjoy this album very much. They are definitely a great band. But one point I have to make is that it is very misleading to say that this album is the greatest selling album of all time. Michael Jackson's Thriller IS still and will probably always be THE GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME, AS IT HAS SOLD OVER 56 MILLION WORLDWIDE. No one can top that. It has also sold 27 million here in the U.S. For clarificatin purposes, please be well aware that, at the moment, The Eagles Greatest HIts is the greatest selling album in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA only. Great accomplishment but it still doesn't top the King of Pop! Free Music Review: Great Album

The Eagles: Their Greatest Hits (Vol. 1) is a great compilation of the first half of The Eagles' amazing musical career, for a casual Eagles fan. If you want a more in-depth compilation then The Eagles: Their Very Best is the right choice.
However, the real reason for writing this review is just to point out the utter stupidity of the reviewer below named D. Zumaya. He gave this album 1 star, and said that The Eagles are "by far the WORST band of all time." I would like to point out that this same reviewer gave Clay Aiken's album a full 5 stars, calling his CD "perfect" and saying that "Every song could be a platinum single".
He is clearly in the minority with that opinion considering that The Eagles: Their Greatest Hits (Vol. 1) is the top selling album in history with 28 million sold, just ahead of Michael Jackson's Thriller with 26 mill. and Pink Floyd's The Wall with 23 mill.
Overall, this, along with their second greatest hits album (which contains the songs form both the Hotel California and The Long Run albums) are a good choice for a casual fan. But if you want to go more in depth I recommend Their Very Best, or if you're willing to spend the money, their new Boxed Set which contains all of their albums in CD format is great.
