They dont lack acclaim or accolades, but watching The Eagles in their prime is really magical: 5 superstar musicians all switching instruments, singing the best 5 part harmonies I've ever heard and everyone taking turns with lead vocals. You wouldn't know by watching it that they were only a few years away from epicly imploding, no one is showing off and everyone's performance is restrained and serves the song.
Their music has been so inescapable my whole life that I've never really taken the time to appreciate it.
