Eagles/YMMV


 * Anvilicious: When they have a point to make, they're not subtle about it. Notable examples include "The Last Resort," "In the City," "Get Over It," and at least a third of Long Road Out of Eden.
 * Awesome Music: "Hotel California" is considered a rock & roll classic. They've got a lot of other good songs too that are classic rock radio staples.
 * Covered Up:
 * Through the tribute album Common Thread, Travis Tritt and Clint Black have made their covers of "Take It Easy" and "Desperado," respectively, almost as famous as the originals if not moreso.
 * "Take It Easy" is itself originally a Jackson Browne song, though Frey co-wrote it.
 * "Please Come Home for Christmas" was first recorded by Charles Brown.
 * "How Long" is a cover of a J.D. Souther song.
 * "Ol' 55" was originally written and recorded by Tom Waits.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: "Hotel California," with its Mind Screw of never being able to quite get a concrete idea of what's going on, and then that final line... Not helping matters were the alleged backmasked messages in it, which led to the song, along with Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" and a few others, to gain notoriety especially among conservative Christian circles during the "Satanic Panic" outrage accusing certain popular media of spreading sinister messages to the youth.
