Please Come Home for Christmas (2018 Remaster)

A classic winter song wrapped in a soulful vibe.

Released in 1978, this track showcased a new side of the Eagles.

It was produced in a short span to meet the expectations of fans eagerly awaiting the follow-up to Hotel California.

Issued as a holiday single, it reached No.

18 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

It also drew attention as the first release to feature Timothy B.

Schmit.

Its bittersweet lyrics—longing for a reunion with a loved one—beautifully capture both the warmth and loneliness of Christmas.

This is a song that comforts those separated from family or a partner.

Why not listen to it in a moment when someone special comes to mind?

Best of My LoveThe Eagles9rank/position

Eagles – Best of My Love ( 1974 )

A classic ballad colored by a wistful acoustic guitar backing, steel guitar by early member Bernie Leadon, and skillful choral work.

In Japan, it might be better known by its Japanese title, “Waga Ai no Shijō” (Supreme of My Love).

Don Henley handles the lead vocals, and while he isn’t a member, J.D.

Souther—who supported the Eagles and the 1970s West Coast rock boom—participated in the songwriting.

When this song is performed live, it’s customary for drummer Henley to come to the front of the stage and sing while playing acoustic guitar.

Busy Being FabulousThe Eagles10rank/position

Eagles – Busy being fabulous

This song is the second single from the Eagles’ 2007 album Long Road Out of Eden, which broke the American rock band’s long silence.

It’s a track that shines with polished sound and sharp social commentary.

Centered on a woman caught up in a glittering social scene who neglects her lover and family, it portrays the difficulty of balancing success with personal relationships.

Comfortable guitar riffs and melodious harmonies intertwine exquisitely, showcasing the Eagles’ unique appeal to the fullest.

The song was highly acclaimed, reaching the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

With a distinct West Coast rock flavor, it’s a must-listen for both new and longtime Eagles fans.

Doolin’ DaltonThe Eagles11rank/position

Doolin-Dalton (2013 Remaster)

The second album, Desperado, released in 1973, is a conceptual work themed around the real-life Old West gang known as the Dalton Gang.

As the title suggests, the opening track “Doolin-Dalton” points to the brothers who were part of that gang.

It’s a tear-jerking number, with a wistful harmonica and Don Henley’s heartfelt vocals.

The excellence of the precise choral work is also noteworthy.

Given the theme, the lyrics are hard-edged and serious, so try reading them closely as if you’re enjoying a story.

Get Over ItThe Eagles12rank/position

Get Over It

A track inspired by Don Henley’s frustration with daytime TV talk shows featuring people who cry and scream as they recount their problems and failures.

Released as a single in 1994, it became a hit in Canada, the United States, Poland, and elsewhere.

Hole in the WorldThe Eagles13rank/position

Hole In The World (Bonus Track)

With a legendary band like the Eagles, attention inevitably tends to focus on their hit songs and classics from the 1970s, which can be considered their heyday.

Here, let’s introduce a track included on the 2003 best-of album The Very Best of the Eagles.

The song was written by original members Don Henley and Glenn Frey, and does not involve Don Felder, who had participated in the 1994 reunion.

It’s a calm piece distinguished by skillful vocal harmonies, but what’s important is that it is a response song to the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States.

With that historical context in mind, take your time to read through the lyrics as you listen.
