    Default outside of Don and Glenn

    what was each member's best song?

    Meisner - Take it to the Limit
    Leadon - not sure. The early stuff with the pedal steel guitar was pretty good (Tequila Sunrise, Best of My Love) as was some of his vocal stuff (Train Leaves Here this Morning, Bitter Creek)
    Felder - One of these nights
    Schmit - I Can't Tell You why
    Walsh - not sure on that one. Obviously he has a kickass guitar solo on HC but that's also Felder playing, so I guess I'll go with the keyboards on "New Kid In Town"

    You couldn't come up with a song featuring Walsh on lead guitar & for Felder you gave him a song where he doesn't have a writing credit. I fail to see how NKIT could be considered Walsh's 'best song' when it appears on the same album as both HC & Life In The Fast Lane, if as I assume you are discounting his lead vocals.

    Leadon: Train Leaves Here This Morning
    Meisner: Try & Love Again
    Felder: Victim Of Love
    Walsh: Life In The Fast Lane (for the guitar work) & Pretty Maids All In Row (for the vocals) & Long Road Out Of Eden should be mentioned.
    Schmit: I Can't Tell You Why but the overlooked Do Something deserves a mention.

    I think the idea here is in which songs the members shine most as players/singers - or are most prominent.

    Glenn and Don are very overrated IMHO so I'm glad that this topic comes up. For the record, if I was to rank the Eagles, it would go like this: Meisner, Leadon, Frey, Felder, Walsh, Henley and Schmit.

    Meisner - Midnight Flyer or Take it to the Limit
    Leadon - My Man (RIP Gram)
    Felder - I Wish You Peace (of course :P)
    Walsh - Pretty Maids All in a Row
    Schmit - I Can't Tell You Why

    I'm sorry? I Wish You Peace for Felder? Why?
