Why does The Eagles redirect here even though the U.S band is quite clearly far more popular and famous. And for the record I'm from the UK
A point-by-point comparison of how The Eagles pass the WP:MUSIC guideline:
A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, hip hop crew, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:
So there you have it. Satisfying one of the criteria would have been enough, and the eagles satisfy almost all. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:42, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

The article states that Terry Clarke was born in Vancouver, BC, Canada in 1944. Other sources eg. [1] say he was raised in the UK (though admittedly they don't actually give a birthplace). We also know that the Canadian Terry Clarke is a jazz drummer [2] , whereas the Eagles founder is a guitarist. It makes me think these are not in fact the same person.
What evidence do we have that the Terry Clarke who was in the (UK) Eagles band is in fact the jazz drummer who was quite active in North America over the same period? If the birthplace and birthdate are correct, then they would have to be.
Update: AllMusic (the reference for most of the article) gives a birthdate of Oct 16, 1947 for Terry Clarke, who has his own page. I've updated the article. It does make him just 11 when the quartet started, but the birthplace fits the other facts much better.
