The Eagles made country rock the reigning style and sensibility of white youth in the United States in the 1970s. Before the Eagles recorded, country rock was a local alternative in late 1960s Los Angeles. After they recorded, it became the soundtrack for the lives of millions of rock kids as an appealing alternative to glam rock and disco.

Each of the original members of the Eagles (Randy Meisner, Bernie Leadon, Don Henley, and Glenn Frey) moved to Los Angeles to pursue various professional music ventures. By 1971 they all had in common that they had performed in Linda Ronstadt’s backup band, and manager David Geffen signed them to be a group for his new label Asylum Records.
