I sorta love this list, even more that it's AV Club doing it. They're usually pretty anti-Eagles, so anything positive about them is pretty cool for them to publish. And I like that the inclusion of so many cuts from Desperado--people seem to be realizing that the new country/folk rock movement and sound of Dawes and Middle Brother and Avett Brothers and Ryan Adams and Iron & Wine, etc., can credit the Eagles for paving way. Nice for my fellow hipsters to see the roots of the sound.

And it stretches all across the 70s, which is great, nice range. The exclusion of LROOE I think stems from the fact that, at least for me, is that it's more of an album that is better appreciated after truly wallowing in their past catalog. It's not one to start off with right away. You can't appreciate their musical journey by starting at their end. And I don't know, I find LROOE almost too clean and pure and produced--pretty, but these cuts AV Club feel more organic and raw and "dirty" to me--more appealing to today's listeners looking for deep cuts looking for an exciting, accessible entry into the Eagles.
