| Outlaw Man Eagles - Desperado - Asylum Records |

| The concept: An album about anti-heroes. One inspiration was a book on gunfighters of the Wild West given to Jackson Browne by Ned Doheny for his 21st birthday, and Browne showed them the book and suggested the theme to the Eagles. The book includes stories about Bill Dalton and Bill Doolin. However, they ran out of ideas after writing "Doolin-Dalton" and "James Dean" about the eponymous actor. The idea for anti-heroes then become the Western-themed Desperado. |

| The concept: A disillusioned young boy, Jimmy, fully embraces the growing Mod culture of early 1960's England.
