What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



The groups masterpiece and has to be in my top 10 albums of all time. Six love tracks of the nine and The Last
Resort always gives me chills. That would be my favorite Eagles song of all time. Not a bad song on the album. Of
course there is that short instrumental reprise of Wasted Time that kicks off side 2. I even give that a like but it
should have just been the end of the song on side 1. The cd would have made that better, as they would run together.
Flipping the album over sort of ruins the continuity. This is the bands fifth album and Joe Walsh had just come on
board to replace Bernie Leadon. Didn't really think Joe would fit with this band. I was wrong. He makes Pretty Maids
All In A Row work. It remains the bands best selling album with 16 million copies sold. They got two Grammys for the
songs Hotel California and New Kid In Town, with the big one, Album Of The Year, losing out to Fleetwood Macs
Rumours. The two mentioned tracks both made #1 here, with a third single of Life In The Fast Lane at #11.Of course
the album was #1 here, also in Canada and Australia, with a #2 in the U.K.
