Momentum
This song has not appeared on a Rotation chart, so it has no score and no receipts. The rank history below is the ledger; a score is only published once the momentum run puts it on a chart.
Why it's here
The song's central riff came from Joe Walsh improvising during band rehearsals, which Frey told him to keep and turn into a song. [1] In 2016 Rolling Stone rated it the Eagles' eighth-greatest song, and in 2017 Billboard ranked it number four on their list of the 15 greatest Eagles songs. [2]
In culture
Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.
