Nowt wrong with teh Eagles, I like some of their stuff, but not everything.
You might like to check this guy out, this is the title track from his first album, Black Rose which I bought on vinyl when it came out in 1976:

You then might like to check out the song writing credits for some of the Eagles big hits, like New Kid In Town, Heartache Tonight, Best Of My Love, and How Long, looking for JD Souther, ‘cos he co-wrote them.
Lovely bloke, saw him play a 200 capacity hall in Bristol, and he played those songs, and joked about the audience not having to walk a mile back to their cars after paying $300 for a ticket.
He was delighted to sign my vinyl copy of Black Rose, I was the only person there with a copy!
He wrote some songs for Linda Ronstadt, too, when he could find the time during other…
activities. 😉
