Line 49:
* [[Long Runner Lineup]]: Frey, Henley, Walsh, and Schmit passed the 10-year threshold in February 2011, the ten year anniversary of their booting of Don Felder from the group.
* [[Mind Screw]]: The lyrics of "Hotel California" constantly keep you just slightly confused about what exactly is going on.
* [[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 Driver's Gear Change]]: ''Hole In The World'' has a classic example.
* [[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.
