Your favorite singer in the Eagles?

Jeez - There are so many great songs that all of these guys sang - Leadon included. The unique qualities and tone of their individual voices are special enough, but when they harmonize - fuggetaboutit.

@jerry - thanks so much for posting the Poco clip. LOVE me some Poco as well - you've inspired me to dig out my Poco CD's. It reminded me as well of how much I was influenced by Tim Schmit and his "hippy refin" Jazz basses. My first group was a country rock band that began in 1979. Because my bandmates harmonized beautifully, we played dozens of Eagles tunes & some Poco as well. I started playing Jazz basses in the early 80's, back in the day when you could easily find refinished Pre-CBS basses in the Recycler for $300-$400.

I used to own an amp owned by Poco!

Great question. I never thought about it. They're all just Eagle songs. They seemed to match the song to the vocalist perfectly (or that's how it looks in hindsight). Probably Glen Frey by a hair, but yeah so many good choices.

I did read that Don Felder wanted to sing Life In The Fast Lane, and was overruled...creating yet one more point of disgruntlement between him and Henley/Frey.

Seriously?

The only answer is Don Henley.

Next let’s ask “who was the most important vocalist in Genesis.”

Either way you’re baiting the argument that it’s either the dude who had the multiple Grammy awards and who sold tens of millions of records on his own - or maybe somebody who didn’t.

You don’t seem to understand what “favorite” means.
