Randy Meisner

Rock radio loved this band so much, even some of their album tracks went into heavy rotation.

All seven released an LP that either slipped through the cracks at the time or lost cultural resonance over the years.

These projects tend to arrive at significant moments.

This era-turning multi-platinum smash became the group's first chart-topping album.

In most cases, there weren't many – so every new LP tended to carry a little extra weight.

Creating a big finish for your LP used to be a big deal. These guys understood the assignment.

Together, they tell the story of a songwriting partnership that grew with each new studio album.

They always had their share of talented bandmates.

Some moments were quite surprising for fans who liked them better in Old West outfits.

Eagles co-founder is remembered by fellow artists and entertainers.
