Dude, the Eagles had like, one of the best tunes with Hotel California. It’s a classic. But then they also sang Dust in the wind right? Depressing as hell but ah the pitch and harmony. What else did they turn out? I’m drawing a blank.

Hotel California was an Eagles song. Eagle Don Felder wrote the music for it. "Dust in the wind" I'm 100% sure is Kansas and Kerry Livgren wrote it. The Violin in Dust in the wind is played by a band member who was a concert violinist. As I understand it Livgren wrote the tune simply as a warm up song for his practicing then later added the words.

Livgren and the Bass player in Kansas became Christians and left the band shortly after. The Bass player is now a Monk I think or a Priest and Livgren focuses on Christian rock. Livgren also wrote Kansas hit "Carry on my wayward son".

It was Kansas that did "Dust in the Wind" (1978).

Wrong. "Dust in the Wind" was Kansas.
