Eagles had too many groupies to be a serious band, my friends!Popular sure but most influential?
Pink Floyd to me influence more bands than the Beatles in my opinion.
As for music we sing to I still believe the Eagles became that band...
Just my two cents on it...
Never cared for them.
What impressed me was how their song writing kept getting better and more creative. The early years were pretty simplistic, still good but their later work was excellent and some of it downright amazing.
They had the biggest overall influence on the music industry so you could say they were the best band ever. In 50's and 60's America, rock n roll music was a 'passing fad', but after that appearance on the Ed Sullivan show it exploded - every neighborhood had 3 garage bands, guitar and other musical instrument sales skyrocketed.... the culture changed ( good and bad ). They set the stage for every successful rock band that followed them.
I was living in NYC when John Lennon was killed and millions of people flocked to the memorial all that week around Central Park - Beatles music everywhere - it was insane.

Here's one take. Generally, if you listen to the top songs of the decade, then it's not a good representation. Most of the #1 songs you have heard, but they all aren't that good. For some reason, the were popular and made money to reach the Billboard #1 ranking, you know pop songs. What really made the songs of the decade were lesser songs from the better bands and individual musicians. It could've been a one hit wonder. The Beatles though were really good from the get go. Same with the Stones.
