Awards Won by the Eagles

For the same reason actors such as Paul Newman were never given the awards they deserved (jealously), we have much the same case in music.  The Eagles obviously are one of The Top 10 Artists of the Rock Era, but their fellow artists who weren't as talented chose to give awards to lesser artists.


The Eagles didn't come away empty-handed by any means, but nowhere near what they should have gotten: Here are the career awards won by the supergroup:
