Not being a fan of country rock The Eagles and some of Neil Young`s stuff are about as near as I get to it (The Eagle`s country stuff mostly seems to be evident on their pre-Hotel California stuff) Certainly agree with the OP about the contrast between Glenn Frey and Don Henley`s voices and to be fair few groups have been blessed with such a variety of great vocalists like the Eagles have. My favourite song by the Eagles is sung by Timothy B.Schmit " I can`t tell you why"

Favourite member though is Joe Walsh but that`s because he was in the James Gang.

Thanks for voting Unknown Soldier, I'm blown away that Schmit has gotten two votes in the past day. I wasn't expecting that since he does the vocals for one song only, but I agree with you that "I Can't Tell You Why" is a good one. No doubt about that.

I`ve always been amazed, that he only did the vocals on one Eagles song!!!

I know he was in Poco before the Eagles but given that I listened to some of Poco`s stuff about 10 years ago, I really don`t have an opinion on him from his Poco days.

I voted for Henley, because he's the lead vocal on my favorite song by anyone, "Hotel California". But I also like Glenn Frey and Randy Meisner. Meisner's tenor is gorgeous on "Take It To The Limit" from 1975's *One of These Nights*.

"Tequila Sunrise", from the 1973 album *Desperado*, is a great song as well.

Default Joe Walsh
My personal favorite is Don Henley, but the most distinctive vocalist, in my opinion, is Joe Walsh. His harmony is so unique and all Joe Walsh, I always liked the Eagles as one of my picks for the all time 'best of the best'. I am going to suggest that Joe Walsh might be underrated as a guitarist also.

Glenn Fry IMO. I liked his work on Lyin' Eyes.

He might be underrated, but Pete Townsend was always a huge fan of his work when he fronted the James Gang.

The Desert Rose Band came out much later than the Eagles and the Chris Hillmen connection to the Byrds gives them credibility. The nearest band to the Eagles was probably Poco who never got the fame that the Eagles achieved.
