Eagles

The Eagles are a soft rock band and one of the most successful bands of all time, with numerous hit singles and bestselling albums and beyond (their greatest hits has almost gone triple diamond, while their farewell tour did in fact go triple diamond). Most of their hits have become classic rock staples. There is a rock band named the "Eagles of Death Metal", although they have nothing to do with the Eagles nor are they death metal. The Eagles are mentioned in a Steely Dan song, to which they respond in their iconic song Hotel California with the line "They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast". Member Don Henley would go on to have a successful solo career. Late member Glenn Frey would have a solo hit with The Heat is On. Although the band is from California, they count as heartland rock because most of the members are from the Midwest. Member Joe Walsh went on to have a successful solo career as well as become a part of the James Gang.
