At the forefront of the country-rock movement, they later typified the soft-rock and album rock sound of the '70s.
The Eagles were among the most successful recording artists of the 1970s. The group was closely identified with a country- and folk-tinged sound that initially found favor in and around Los Angeles in the late '60s. But the band also drew upon traditional rock & roll styles and, in their later work, helped define the broadly popular rock sound eventually referred to as classic rock. That helped the Eagles to achieve a perennial appeal among generations of music fans who continued to buy their records many years after they had split up, which inspired the reunion they mounted in the mid-'90s. ~ William Ruhlmann
