Line 28:
* ''Long Road Out of Eden'' (2007): A double album of new material; the title track is [[Epic Rocking|ten minutes of awesome]].
{{creatortropes|<s>The</s> Eagles provide examples of the following tropes:}}
* [[The Alcoholic]]: Walsh. "I only got drunk once, [[No Except Yes|for thirty years]]."
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: The main theme of "After The Thrill Is Gone" (What can you do when your dreams come true/ And it's not quite like you planned?)
Line 36:
* [[Distinct Double Album]]: ''Long Road out of Eden''.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: The list of soft-rock and even country bands who employ heavily layered harmonies is miles long.
* [[Garfunkel]]: Averted; almost every member, past and present, has gotten a turn on lead vocals.▼
** But still: Don Felder only sang lead on one (and most of the time he was harmonized by Glenn anyway), and both Don Henley and Glenn Frey (especially the former) sing on more tracks, singles and opening/closing live numbers.▼
** Bernie Leadon might get some recognition for his spacey banjo.▼
* [[Hilarious Outtakes]]: Their "Selected Works" collection included a number of these, including Joe Walsh's absurd vocal impressions and improvisations, Henley experimenting with various ways of expressing boredom, and short (improvised) songs about broken toes and [[Crowning Moment of Funny|the Pope's speculative ability to boogie]].
* [[Humans Are
** ''Some rich men came and raped the land, Nobody caught 'em. Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus, people bought 'em...''
** In the abovementioned [[Hilarious Outtakes]], the line goes ''The great unconscious urban masses, with narrow minds and [[Precision F-Strike|spreading asses]]...''
* [[Inn of No Return]]/ [[Hell Hotel]]: "Hotel California"▼
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: When the group broke up in 1980, Henley said in an interview that they'd get back together "when Hell freezes over." Guess what they called the reunion album.
** Their first major tour after the reunion was called "Farewell One."
