The Eagles

Band's 1977 hit was third single from 'Hotel California.'

Browne came up with the original song idea, before Glenn Frey and the Eagles made it their own.

First single with Don Felder helped them court a rock AM-radio audience.

"That's one song I don't get tired of," Don Henley said of the 'Desperado' single.

Band is also reissuing 'Eagles Live' and 'Long Road Out of Eden' on vinyl.

How much do you know about the classic song?

They made their legend in a veritable blink of an eye.

Eagles began an unexpected final chapter, despite his passing.

Like "Life in the Fast Lane," song criticizes how a trendy scene can strip a person's soul. But the narrator hasn't found the on-ramp.

Sessions for a follow-up to 'Hotel California' were dragging on, and their label was growing concerned.
