Rock legends the EAGLES released their 4th LP ONE OF THIS NIGHTS
in 1975. It was their commercial breakthrough album. It went No. 1
in the US and No. 8 in the UK.

Its title track was one of their biggest hit singles, written by
drummer Don Henley and guitarist Glen Frey. It occupied the
top spot of the US Singles Chart on 3 August 1975, today
50 years ago.

Henley: “We like to be a nice little country-rock band from
Los Angeles… about half the time. We wanted to get away
from the ballad syndrome with ‘One of These Nights’.”

Frey: “We wanted the song to have a lot
of teeth, a lot of bite—a nasty track with
pretty vocals.”

Band: WINGS (1971-1981)
Album: VENUS AND MARS
Released: 28 June 1975

It was Macca’s & Wings‘ 3rd LP.

tour that it was, which makes it one of McCartney’s more consistent listens.”

Band: RADIOHEAD
Album: OK COMPUTER
Released: 28 June 1997

For most critics and fans (including me)
Radiohead‘s 3rd longplayer is their best.

Mojo wrote: “Others may end up selling more, but in 20 years’ time
I’m betting OK Computer will be seen as the key record of 1997, the
one to take rock forward instead of artfully revamping images and
song-structures from an earlier era.”
