The Eagles Popular Song Rankings [2026]

James DeanThe Eagles41rank/position

Eagles – James Dean (Official Audio)

This song by the Eagles—who had been centered around country rock but were moving toward a harder rock direction—appears on their 1974 album On the Border.

Jackson Browne, who co-wrote their early classic Take It Easy, also took part in the songwriting, and the result is a thrilling rock number that seems to symbolize the Eagles at a moment of musical transition.

Its straightforward title says it all, and the lyrics, which pay tribute to the legendary actor James Dean, who died young, leave you with an indescribable feeling—especially that final line.

A refreshing, poppy tune woven with a band sound colored by classic country taste, featuring a comfortably catchy melody.

Also known in Japan by the title “Itsuwari no Hitomi” (“Lyin’ Eyes”), the track appears on the 1975 album “One of These Nights,” and was later released as a single, becoming a major hit.

It won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance.

You might not notice it while listening, but it actually runs over six minutes; still, its simple yet never-tiresome structure is truly impressive.

Be sure to pay attention to the lyrics, which tell a story.
