Eagles have produced one double album this century called Long Road out of Eden, and a live album in 1994 or thereabouts called Hell Freezes Over (playing on the fact that they had a reunion after 25 years apart musically/professionally).

So why would I go for a boring blokey band like the Eagles when their songs are so ... few and far between...albeit most Eagles songs I really like...

I like Fleetwood Mac because there are women in the band, and I like that band chemistry/dynamic. Also a contralto singer and an alto singer - Stevie and Christine - sound very good together when harmonising. Stevie's voice is very deep for a female. Christine's is moderately high, not soprano but still very beautiful. My own voice sounds like a boring baritone to me
Yes, their vocal harmonising is magnificent. I like the attention given to the vocal parts, in every single part: for example their choruses were not so bland, boring, but perfectly made.
Stevie's voice was getting deeper after Tusk I guess, vocal stress and many, many factors.
