Glenn and Don are often considered one of the best songwriting duos in popular music. The first song they wrote together, Desperado, is usually ranked at or near the top of the Eagles catalog. What was the last really great song they co-wrote without anyone else receiving credit?

Here is a compiled list:

1. Desperado
2. Tequila Sunrise
3. Good Day in a Hell
4. One of These Nights
5. Lyin Eyes
6. After the Thrill is Gone
7. Wasted Time
8. The Last Resort
9. The Long Run
10. King of Hollywood
11. Greeks Don’t Want No Freaks
12. Get Over It
13. Hole in the World
14. Busy Being Fabulous
15. What Do I Do With My Heart
16. Fast Company
17. Frail Grasp on the Big Picture

Out of these 17 tracks, Henley sings lead on 11 and co-lead on 4. I know he took over a lot of the leads as time went on but this is a bit of an eye-opener considering the songwriting credit is split 50-50 on these songs.

Anyway, my choice is The Last Resort. Not that the other songs that followed aren’t good, they just don’t measure up to this one imo.

Thoughts?
