How the most American album ever written was recorded in a chapel in Notting Hill in 1973
Cowboys and english rain.
Eagles
The 1974 Eagles song used to mock Richard Nixon: “Our little kiss off to Tricky Dicky”
Crying out against the big wigs in the White House.
The 1971 classic Don Henley called Led Zeppelin’s own ‘Hotel California’
Two of the biggest tracks of the 1970s.
The “frat favourite” Eagles song that made fun of the 1960s: “An homage, or maybe a send-up”
A terrible song born from greats.
The 1976 album Joe Walsh called a high point of his career: “Beyond our wildest dreams”
The career highlight some only dream of.
The 1994 song Don Henley wrote about stars he can’t stand: “Just fed up with that”
Putting them in their place.
The 2007 album Eagles want you to forget about: “We don’t do them anymore”
Not as perfect as they wanted.
The 1975 song Don Henley said featured his favourite vocal performance: “The big difference”
The height of his range.
The 2000 song Don Henley had to stop playing live: “It’s really hard to sing”
Too much vocal acrobatics at once.
