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.
