Glenn Frey

Rock radio loved this band so much, even some of their album tracks went into heavy rotation.

All seven released an LP that either slipped through the cracks at the time or lost cultural resonance over the years.

Here are the essentials from a brief but record-smashing run of seven studio projects.

These projects tend to arrive at significant moments.

The deluxe release features 16 previously unreleased recordings.

This era-turning multi-platinum smash became the group's first chart-topping album.

In most cases, there weren't many – so every new LP tended to carry a little extra weight.

We lost far more than our fair share of innovative geniuses on this particular trip around the sun.

This band's most-streamed songs will be no surprise to fans both committed and casual. But what about the rest?

Together, they tell the story of a songwriting partnership that grew with each new studio album.
