At the end of the 20th century, two of their albums, Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971–1975 and Hotel California, ranked among the ten best-selling albums according to the Recording Industry Association of America. The best-selling studio album Hotel California is rated as the thirty-seventh album in the Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, and the band was ranked number 75 on the magazine's 2004 list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[1] They also have the best selling album in the U.S. to date with Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971–1975.[2][3]

In 2007, the Eagles released Long Road out of Eden, their first full studio album in 28 years.

How to Make a Classic Rock Playlist
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderately Easy Step1Explore the classic-rock dynamic. Classic rock is a genre that encompasses a diverse group of recording artists. With choices ranging from Aerosmith to The Beatles, there is an endless list of possibilities for creating a rocking playlist.
Step2
Include classic-rock anthems. Songs like "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen and "Dream On" by Aerosmith have become the background music of the rock generation. Classic-rock anthems are proudly featured in movies and are even the focus of popular video games. The power of classic-rock anthems is undeniable and should be respected at all times.
Step3
Gather the music. Look through your music collection for classic rock artists such as Pink Floyd and The Who. Visit music stores and ask for track recommendations. Purchase classic-rock compilation cds like the ones offered at TIME-LIFE music to provide a diverse group of songs to make up your final selections.
Step4
Strike a chord. Choose songs that help create your desired mood. Is the playlist being made for the purposes of solo entertainment, or listening with friends? Would you like to visit the "Hotel California" or climb the "Stairway to Heaven"? Having a clear idea will make the playlist flow better.
Step5
Order and finalize your song selections. Evenly space your favorite songs throughout the playlist. Avoid grouping songs by artist, to celebrate the diversity within the playlist. This is your chance to create a unique song mix. Load the playlist into an MP3 player or computer music program, such as Roxio.
Step6
Rock out! Classic rock music was made to be played. Find your favorite headphones or speakers and jam to the genre that continues to deliver.
