45 years ago today, the Eagles released Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975). It’s the best-selling album in U.S. history, with sales of more than 38 million. Later in 1976, the Eagles issued Hotel California, which is the third-best-selling album in U.S. history, with sales of more than 26 million. In other news, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak founded Apple that same year, so 1976 wasn’t all wasted time.
