This is a rock band from America established in the year 1971, in Los Angeles, California. The band formation was by Meisner Randy, Fedler Don, Frey Glenn and Leadon Bernie.

Henley does the vocals also, in addition to playing the percussion, the guitar and drums. Joe still does the vocals, in addition to playing the keyboard, and the lead guitar. Timothy does the vocals as well as playing the acoustic guitar.

The background of eagle’s band members was full of turns and twists. The idea of forming the band came from Frey Glenn and Henley don while touring with the star singer Ronstadt Linda. Frey, a big country rock fan, managed to poach a number of guitarists from two major bands that occasionally played at the troubadour in the town of Los Angeles. The guitarists were Leadon playing for burrito flying brothers’ band and Randy playing for Poco rock band. The eagles were signed up in august the year 1971 after Geffen David; the asylum records founder heard the band members playing at Browne Jackson’s house, who was a rock singer.

            As at this time, the eagles had no hit records. The band added guitarist Fedler in 1974 and lost guitarist Leadon in 1975. After this loss, the eagles were desperately in search of a lead guitarist and they got Walsh a famous guitarist. With Walsh’s arrival, the band’s music changed to straight rock from country rock. After some years, randy left the band and was replaced by timothy from Poco band. The band’s music became better and, better and more hit songs were made. This led to eagle’s music being played all over the radio stations and led to its naming as the best rock band selling group of the 1970s. All this prosperity came to an end in the 80’s due to the animosity between Frey and Henley which surmounted to the eagles break- up. Many band members ventured into solo careers even though their fan base around the world was not contended. The band got back together towards the end of 1993 and hit the music road again with its tour dubbed “hell freezes over.” The air waves soon hit with the new eagles top best songs.

Thus, the music encouraged the youth to persevere during harsh political climate that prevailed. The music is devoted towards changing some stereotypes of people towards certain things and issues in life. For instance, the popular believe that people from the United States are some super beings whereas, in the normal sense, they are just but ordinary.
