Even if Felder only sang one lead...

Henley is my choice.

I'm a Glenn fan, but nobody had pipes like Randy for those high parts.  Not a Henley fan much.

Not too familiar with these guys, I only have One Of These Nights, but the guy who sang I Can't Tell You Why (from The Long Run), is my pick.
That be Timothy B Schmidt ??

I think they are all just average vocalists ...though I do like the smoky raspy sound to Henley's vocals especially later when he started doing his solo material.

Henley is in hes best among the finest voices of the west coast, but Glenn Frey is the heart and soul of Eagles, so Take it Easy and i vote for him.

From watching some live clips, Henley also is a competent drummer with a large pocket of subtle fills, flurrishes and knows how to hold back.

The one who sang this song Tongue:

Just kidding. They all were great singers and musicians. This is one of my favourite non prog bands Hug.
For the poll: voted Randy Meisner (Take it to the limit), though his successor Timothy B. Schmit has also a good voice.

When I saw the title of the topic I knew I would vote for Don Henley
even before seeing the other names on the list.

The dude who did the song You Belong To The City (?) is fairly decent too. I know it's either Frey or Henley. And different enough from The Eagles material.

Henley is my choice also......all of them are well above "average" singers. Seven Bridges clearly shows they all have range and know what they are doing.

I really enjoy listening to the Eagles when I get tired prog. It's pretty darn good music

I'm going to spin One Of These Nights shortly - I recall a really good instrumental track called The Sorcerer, nah, just looked at my LP - Journey Of The Sorcerer, and I've always loved the embossed cover with that winged bull-skull on it.
