Album of the Day

An Album of the Year Grammy nominee and a quadruple-Platinum smash, ONE OF THESE NIGHTS proved to be Eagles' breakthrough release. The product of more than a year's work by the band and producer Bill Szymczyk, the Asylum collection includes three Top 10 singles: "Lyin' Eyes,” “Take it to the Limit” and the title track. The increased emphasis on rock heard here would lead to the departure of country-leaning co-founder Bernie Leadon following the supporting tour, leaving singer-songwriters Glenn Frey and Don Henley firmly in the driver's seat. ONE OF THESE NIGHTS was the #1 album in America on this day in 1975 - the first Eagles set to top the Billboard chart - and it remains one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers' defining albums.
