My Eagles come-uppance started in '75 with "One Of These Nights" featuring 
the title track "New Kid In Town" and "Lyin' Eyes" as a trifecta of radio 
perfect pop (hey, I was 12 years old!). Love that record still because 
unlike The Eagles' other material it has not been destroyed by Classic Rock 
and oldies stations.....yet.
