Album: The Studio Albums 1972–1979 by Eagles (2013)
Genre: Rock | Style: Folk | Mood: Relaxed

Description: This box set perfectly captures the Eagles’ transformation into classic-rock icons. The first disc covers their early country-rock days, when the Hotel California was more of a roadhouse.

Finally, a live set recorded on the last day of the '90s, which is as tight and precise as their classic-era albums.
