I love ya Don, but I have 0 problems with either Joe or Felder singing Eagles songs. Truth be told, I think they are as good vocally in their own style. Joe is more gravally in his voice, which might not work for smooth songs like Desperado (then again there is PMAIAR) - but I can say I love Joe's vocals on LITFL as much as Henley's. I think every Eagles member to date has been a great singer and can compare favorably to one another. They are a singing band that happens to have a strong guitar band strength. I think all of their vocals are equally good in terms of talent and technique, it's just what style and sound you prefer.
