IN 1965 ERIC CLAPTON QUIT THE YARDBIRDS DUE TO MUSICAL DIFFERENCES WITH THE OTHER BAND MEMBERS. CLAPTON WANTED TO CONTINUE IN A BLUESIER VEIN, WHILE THE REST OF THE BAND PREFERRED THE MORE COMMERCIAL STYLE OF THEIR FIRST POP HIT, “FOR YOUR LOVE”. JEFF BECK BECOMES HIS REPLACEMENT
TODAY IN 1976, THE EAGLES “GREATEST HITS”, WHICH CONTAINED SONGS FROM THEIR FIRST FOUR ALBUMS, BEGINS A FIVE-WEEK RUN AT NUMBER ONE ON THE BILLBOARD CHART AND BECAME THE FIRST ALBUM CERTIFIED PLATINUM.
AND IN 1980, PINK FLOYD’S “THE WALL” GOES PLATINUM JUST A FEW WEEKS INTO ITS FIFTEEN-WEEK STAY AT NUMBER ONE ON THE BILLBOARD CHART.
