Where this album fits

Career context
The Eagles released their self-titled debut album in June 1972, marking the beginning of their ascent in the rock genre. At this point, they were still establishing their sound, having recently formed from members of other successful bands like Poco and Bernie Leadon’s stint with the Flying Burrito Brothers. This album laid the groundwork for their later commercial success and iconic status in rock music.
