New Kid in TownThe Eagles18rank/position

New Kid in Town (2013 Remaster)

Released in 1976 as the lead single preceding the historic masterpiece Hotel California, this track features Glenn Frey on lead vocals.

The smooth electric piano and organ sounds were contributed by Joe Walsh, who had joined the band the previous year.

The beautiful choral work is also noteworthy, and compared to the album’s shocking content, the song carries a vibe that feels more in line with the Eagles’ traditional taste.

Here, pay attention to the ironic lyrics that run counter to the song’s breezy feel.

It’s also interesting to listen while considering the meaning behind Frey’s own comment that he dedicated it to Daryl Hall & John Oates.

It appears on the 1974 album On the Border, a period when the band was transitioning from their early country-rock sound to a more diverse musical direction.

On The Border, The Ultimate Eagles Tribute Band

A track inspired by the Watergate scandal of the 1970s and fears of government intrusion into people’s privacy.

Released in 1974, it is the title track of their third album, which was certified Platinum in the United States.

One Of These NightsThe Eagles21rank/position

One of These Nights (2018 Remaster)

This is the title track of the landmark album One of These Nights, a defining masterpiece of 1970s American rock that became a massive hit and opens the album.

Written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey, it features lead vocals by Henley.

Their early country flavor recedes into the background here, giving way to a clear display of their musical direction with pronounced hard rock and funky elements.

The striking quality of the bass line in the intro is also not to be missed.

It’s said that the song’s funky character was brought in by Don Felder, for whom this album marked his full-fledged entry into the Eagles’ recording process.
