REMINDER:

Everyone has until next Friday, 3/15 at 8:00 p.m. EST to post their list for Round 1.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well - I've decided on my list for this round. A lot of mine are the same ones that are showing up on others list except for a couple of them. I actually thought my #2 would be getting a lot of votes. To me, the fact that the band switched producers and managers has a lot to do with their super-stardom. Heck - if not for the Azoff/Szymczyk connection, we probably may not have ever gotten Joe Walsh in the band. But, anyway - here goes ...

1. #1 1971: Glenn Frey befriends Don Henley with a beer at the Troubadour with the idea of forming a band
2. #7 1973: The disgruntled band abandons recording their third album under Glyn Johns and David Geffen and returns to America to hire a new producer, Bill Szymczyk and manager, Irving Azoff
3. #5 1972: Don Henley and Glenn Frey collaborate to write their first songs together
4. #23 1994: Eagles reunite after 14 years to tape an MTV concert and record Hell Freezes Over album
5. #24 1998: Eagles are inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility, which is the only time all seven band members have appeared on the same stage together
6. #25 1999: Eagles are named as the Artist of the Century and Their Greatest Hits: 1971 -1975 is certified as the all-time best-selling album by the RIAA
7. #14 1975: Joe Walsh replaces Bernie Leadon to complete their transition from a country rock to a rock and roll band
8. #28 2007: Long Road Out of Eden – the band’s first album in 29 years is released
9. #9 1974: Eagles add an official fifth member, Don Felder, to help them achieve a rockier sound
10. #17 1977: Timothy B. Schmit replaces Randy Meisner who he had replaced in Poco six years earlier

yekrut - I was in the process of tallying your list and I realized that you included Moment #1 in your list twice. If that is an error, can you either edit your list or either repost a new list. Thanks.
