老鹰乐队传世经典——《加州旅馆》
Eagles-老鹰乐队,以美国国鸟乐队命名的。这只乐队用他们的音乐书写着摇滚音乐的历史,他们的成功之处是在于把摇滚、流行和乡村音乐很好地结合在一起。他们的音乐符合各个层次的欣赏者,成了名副其实的“大众偶像”。
全球专辑总销量超越8千5百万张、继The Beatles批头四乐团、Led Zeppelin齐柏林飞船之后,名列史上3大最畅销乐团之一的经典传奇乐团Eagles老鹰乐队,自1971年于加州成军至今已翱翔乐坛30余年,有十一张畅销专辑及二十首经典单曲的他们是当代乐坛的奇迹!他们的专辑销量超过了其他所有的美国乐队,迄今赢得了四次最佳专辑,五次最佳单曲和四次格莱美大奖,同时也是主打单曲在榜时间唯一持续280周冠军宝座的乐队!
从这些辉煌的成就就可以看到,老鹰乐队的实力就多么强悍了。然而,在他们的歌曲中,最为出名的便是刚才提到的《加州旅馆》。
