With the passing of Glenn Frey I thought I would dedicate my first "Best of" post to him. Glenn wrote or co-wrote many great and/or popular songs. I've chosen my favorite songs from The Eagles and his solo work.
Many of the sons I've chosen are from The Eagles Greatest Hits album. My father owned this album so I listened to it a lot when I was a kid and many of the songs have stuck in my head.
"Desperado" - Some people think it is a cliche for a guy my age to like this song but I love playing this on the piano or singing along to it on the radio.
"Hotel California" - another "cliche" like but this is such a great song. During my "Weird Al" phase in high school I wrote parody lyrics to this called "Hotel Oklahoma" that I may share with you at some point.
"The Last Resort" - I really didn't discover this song until the Eagles Hell Freezes Over concert but it quickly became a favorite.
"The One You Love" - My favorite of his solo work.
"The Girl From Yesterday" - This was introduced during the previously mentioned Hell Freezes Over concert. It's a wonderful little country song that I enjoy singing.
"Lyin' Eyes" - My favorite Eagles song to sing in the shower or pretty much anywhere.
My other favorites are "Best of My Love", "I Can't Tell You Why", "Take It Easy", and "Tequila Sunrise."
