The Eagles are the definition of an iconic American rock band. The music group has most certainly left their mark on the music world, taking inspiration from rock, country, and folk all in one deadly mixture. The band, formed in 1971, originally consisted of Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner. And although the lineup has moved over the years, the through line in their sound always lands directly with the Eagles.Genre and Years of Activity

Lyrics and Analysis
The Eagles are famous for their story-telling, articulately spinning compelling, relatable tales. The words to songs are stirring and poetic, like with "Hotel California" — "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave". A line that perfectly sums up themes of imprisonment and the less bright side of the California dream. The mood of the song is pensive and eerie and sets the listener off on a journey of thought and contemplation. In contrast, a hardened, lone individual speaks to his trials in "Desperado", with the admonition of "You better let somebody love you, before it's too late". It is accompanied by a sombre feel as well as a heartfelt plea at its core, expressing vulnerabilities and redemption that has tugged at the heartstrings of many.Influence and Reception
The Eagles have had a profound impact on music and popular culture. Countless artists from other genres have been influenced by their harmonies and melding of rock and country. This is a band that knows what they're doing, and singing about, the good and the bad, and their fans appreciate it. That said, the Eagles have been both lauded but as well as lambasted at times. Although many people adore their musicianship and the quality of the lyrics which are injected with plenty of emotion, some detractors claim that their sound is sometimes a little too clean. Nevertheless their popularity and the longevity of their music say a lot about their impact. The band has been since awarded with 6 Grammy Awards, induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, securing their place as one of the greatest bands of all time.Song Lyrics
