There can be no argument that the Eagles are a hugely influential band. Their mix of country and rock, combined with sublime harmonies and incredibly catchy melodies have proven to be an unbeatable formula for success and staying power. 
 
The Eagles 1976 release Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) is one of the biggest selling albums in history with 42 million copies sold worldwide since its release in 1976. Sales numbers like that are a testament to how deep the music of the Eagles is ingrained in the fabric of popular culture. 
 
The Eagles' simple, but perfectly executed songs are excellent fodder for the beginner. It would not be a stretch to say that most new songwriters practiced Eagles songs as they learned to play guitar and sing harmony.
