Los Angeles, United States (1971 – 1980, 1994 – present)
Eagles (currently formed by vocalist/drummer Don Henley, vocalist/guitarist Glenn Frey, guitarist/vocalist Joe Walsh and bassist/vocalist Timothy B. Schmit) are an American rock band that was formed in Los Angeles, California in the early 1970s. With five Number 1 singles and six Number 1 albums, the Eagles were one of the most successful recording artists of the 1970s. At the end of the 20th century, two of their albums, Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975) and Hotel California, ranked among the ten best-selling albums according to the Recording Industry Association of America.
While impeccably structured songs (with Jackson Browne and J.D. Souther as occasional writting partners), excellent vocal harmonies (all members have vocal duties) and perfect production (with Irving Azoff as their reference) proved an unbeatable commercial formula, the band’s recording and touring schedule gradually slowed until they broke up in the fall of 1980.
Each of the members subsequently pursued a solo career, with Don Henley’s the most successful commercially and critically. In the ’90s, after what they considered a “14 year break”, the band’s sound was frequently cited as an influence by young country stars, many of whom contributed tracks to the album Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles (#3, 1993), which won Album of the Year at the 1994 Country Music Awards. That same year, the Eagles revival culminated in the band’s reunion tour and album. However at the same time, the band also became the butt of jokes, most famously in the Coen brothers movie, The Big Lebowski.

I disagree with you, Psyhister. Almost all of their top songs on last.fm are played on the radio frequently.
