Best Eagles Vocalist
The Eagles were not short on vocalists throughout the years. I find it astounding how one band can have so many very competent and a few exceptional vocalists. The two giants, though, were Don Henley and Glenn Frey. Two differnet styles and two different sounds kept this band interesting and fresh. But, I cannot overlook some of the other great vocalists who contributed very much to the band's success. Which is your favorite? Why?
Don Henley, also drummer
examples: (Hotel California, One of These Nights, Life In The Fast Lane)
Glenn Frey, also guitar
examples: (Tequila Sunrise, Heartache Tonight, Already Gone)
Randy Meisner, also bass
examples: (Take It To The Limit, Certain Kind of Fool, Take The Devil)
Bernie Leadon, also guitar
examples: (Earlybird, Train Leaves Here This Morning, Bitter Creek)
Joe Walsh, replaced Bernie Leadon, guitar and keyboards
examples: (In the City, Pretty Maids All In a Row)
Timothy B. Schmit, replaced Randy Meisner, bass
examples: (I Can't Tell You Why)
I would have to give my favorite more to Don Henley. Though I love Glenn Frey's easy to listen to, soft, country tinged voice, I think I prefer Don Henley's more exciting rock tinged voice.
