Line 32:
* [[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?)
* [[Black Sheep Hit]]: Not exactly a hit, but "Journey of the Sorcerer" is really different from their usual material (also, count how many times it's mentioned on this page...).
* [[Call Back]]: after repeatedly stating that they would only reform "when Hell froze over", when they finally [[Putting the Band Back Together|put the band back together]], they titled the resulting live album ''[[Self
* [[Crapsack World]]: several of their songs, but ''Life in the Fast Lane'' is probably the harshest.
* [[Distinct Double Album]]: ''Long Road out of Eden''.
Line 42:
* [[Humans Are Bastards]]: The moral of the [[Anvilicious]] "The Last Resort" seems to be nature is a pristine utopia that keeps getting ruined by mankind's greed, reducing the beauty of the land by building new homes on it. More specifically, American settlement further and further West raped the natural beauty of the land.
** ''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
* [[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."
Line 51:
* [[Self Backing Vocalist]]: Usually averted, as all members could sing very well and they also arranged their material so that live versions would be nearly identical to the studio cuts, so they tended to have the lead vocalist absent from harmonies and viceversa (similarly, no guitarist played rhythm and solos at the same time). An exception was "One of These Nights" where, at the end, bassist Randy Meisner is doing both the lead and the high harmony (which often overlap at that point).
* [[Signature Song]]: ''Hotel California''.
* [[Spell My Name With a "The"]]: Averted; the band is officially just "Eagles."
* [[Take That]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm7KKYb4qy0 "I would like to dedicate this song..."]... to [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Mr Rupert Murdoch]]!"
* [[Truck
* [[Wham Line]]: "Hotel California" has the famous "You can check out any time you like/But you can never leave"
* [[Vocal Tag Team]]: Don Henley and Glenn Frey split the lead vocal chores, with occasional help from some of the others.
