Never liked the Eagles, and I can't really say why but something about them always rubbed me the wrong way.
I can say why - Don Henley and Glenn Frey. Mostly Henley. Tim Schmidt was a good add, him and Walsh both cashing in being employees paid by Frey and Henley.
Even so....'Desperado' album was / is superb, much of the credit to J D Souther.
"Well, the towns lay out across the dusty plains
Everyone is filled with tombstones, just a waitin' for the names
Well, a man could use his back, or use his brains
But some just went stir crazy, cuz nothin' ever changed"
Ex Flying Burrito Brother Bernie Leadon lead guitar and vocals.
