The Most Underrated Song From Each Glenn Frey and Don Henley LP Instead, they made music that was often unrecognizably different from what came before with Eagles. Frey seemed to feel that no solo moment was complete without a squalling saxophone, while Henley made more political statements than your average filibustering pol. Henley dabbled in synths; Frey in silky-smooth R&B. There usually wasn't an acoustic guitar to be found, to say nothing of peaceful, easy feelings. They found great success, though it proved far more fleeting than with their old group. Henley scored three consecutive platinum or multiplatinum albums in the '80s, while Frey notched No. 2 smash singles in both 1984 and 1985.
