I don’t know any albums, but Don Henley has put out a lot of fantastic solo songs that I only know from airplay. I think I only know two Joe Walsh songs and I’m drawing a blank on the other members. ---

_Hotel California_ is considered a classic, but I like their 2007 double album, _Long Road Out of Eden_. Don Henley put out a couple of albums that I liked every song on, _Building the Perfect Beast_ and _End of the Innocence_. When I had those albums on cassette, I would leave the player on auto reverse and play them over and over. ---

I went to school with a Dawn Henley… Seriously, I think Don Henley probably runs away with this one. Boys of Summer is probably one of the best written songs ever. His 3 solo albums in the 80s were all fantastic albums. Personally, I love\* I Can’t Stand Still\*l and _Building the Perfect Beast_, _End of the Innocence_ is a masterpiece and my easy favorite. I just couldn’t get in to Glen Frey’s solo stuff. Bernie Leadon went on to play guitar for a ton of other people but nothing really on his own. Randy Meisner released a couple mildly successful solo albums. I’m an old-school Eagles fan and I love the guy and his James Gang/solo stuff, but I never think of Joe Walsh as an Eagle really. I did go on a J.D. Souther kick for a while but he was not an official member. What, no Don Felder fans out there? …ducks and runs… ---

I saw Don Henley earlier this year. His voice is a little raw, but he’s still putting out good music. My favorite Don Henley solo songs: “End of Innocence” followed by “Boys of Summer.” While I enjoy Joe Walsh, he’s not the best singer, so I prefer he play the guitar. As far as the latest Eagles band: Vince Gill’s “I Still Believe in You” is exquisite as is his entire Christmas album. “Go Rest High on the Mountain” is quite lovely as well.
