Eagles

The Eagles produced an impressive, diverse, and sonically superior debut album in 1972, launching a successful elevation throughout the rest of the decade. The album was was an immediate commercial and critical success. The album is extraordinarily balanced with all four band members writing and singing lead vocals on several tracks, with a mixture of rock, folk, and country, throughout musically.

Despite the quick recording of this debut, it is amazingly polished and has a remarkable level of pop sensibility. It spawned three top 40 hit singles, all which remain very popular to this day, while much of the rest of the album contains well-constructed songs with incredible vocal harmonies by all four band members.

While the singles may be the ones that are best remembered from the album, the balance of the whole album and the interplay of the various members was what really stands out on this brilliant debut.
