Eagles – One of These Nights (1975)

The first song I remember consciously hearing from the Eagles was “Visions” during Herman Stok’s LP hour on Hilversum 3 in 1975. Not long after, the album One of These Nights—where the track is from—was part of my then-small LP collection.

The Eagles broadened my musical horizons significantly, planting the seed for all the Americana styles I would later come to appreciate, like country-rock, bluegrass, alt-country, American folk, and roots-rock. Desperado soon became my favorite Eagles album, but One of These Nights remains an incredible record.
