The two hundred and sixtieth album: #260 The Eagles - Eagles

There's something quite relaxing about the standard, country-inspired rock of the Eagles. There are no tricks, no attempts to sound fancy or go weird. There is just a good, solid rock sound that brings a nice bit of energy. While there are benefits to the glam rock experiments, this proves why you don't necessarily need that and can just rely on some good, basic sounds executed to perfection. Even Earlybird's early 'extravagant' bird sounds are there for the introduction before fading into a solid country rock song. It's all the album needs, and it feels like that really pays off.
