15. That Girl (No Fun Aloud, 1982)

“Loved Glen Frey, love his voice and his guitar. In my opinion his music and lyrics were great. This album has some great songs I had forgotten about. It’s fun to listen to them again.”

14. The Allnighter (The Allnighter, 1984)

“Great music by Glenn Frey. You can tell some of the songs are older compositions, but as usual Glenn Frey does not disappoint.”

13. Sexy Girl (The Allnighter, 1984)

“Sexy Girl” echoes every man’s memory of the one girl they hopelessly loved but could only dream about making their own.”

12. He Took Advantage (Blues for Ronald Reagan) (He Took Advantage (Blues for Ronald Reagan), 1992)

“I love the music, but since I wasn’t around when Regan was president, the song doesn’t mean much. In some ways, I can liken the song to Bush Jr, which I can identify more with, having spent most of my childhood under his administration.!”

11. The One You Love (No Fun Aloud, 1982)

“A weird balancing act here. The song proper is all keyboards and Glenn’s surprisingly restrained vocal, but it’s punctuated by a fair amount of sturdy saxophone work. Without the sax, the song would be flabby as all get out. But if the music followed the sax’s lead, it would be too sinewy to make for a good sad song. Somehow, this song balanced these two things just right. That doesn’t make it genius or even great, but it ends up as a really good pop song.”

10. Soul Searchin (Soul Searchin’, 1988)

“I like this Album, it`s not groundbreaking or anything but is just a nice dare I say it romantic set of songs I copied this onto minidisc and listened to it that much that I knew at what point I should have been at on my post round, that’s something them damn IPods/mp3 players have killed off.”

9. I’ve Got Mine (Strange Weather, 1992)

“This song describes the difference between the wealthy and poor classes in America. The phrase “I’ve got mine” pretty much sums it up. If businesses were required to spend just 15% of gross sales on payroll and if this money could be spread so no one gets more than $100,000 a year from it, most poverty would end. Working people would have a chance. Glen Frey describes the problem. It is up to us to solve it.”

8. River of Dreams (Strange Weather, 1992)

“I’m not a romantic person, but this song gets me. I think that the video helps, seeing Glenn and Cindy(Glenn’s real-life wife) being a regular couple with hopes, dreams, desires etc. I love the lines “People don’t run out of dreams. People just run out of time”… so true! The intro is nice. It’s not needed but, I do like it.”

7. Worried Mind (After Hours, 2012)

“While these older classic songs are not something I would usually seek out, I truly love this album. Glenn’s voice is absolutely mesmerizing. The music is beautifully matched to his singing. So happy that his mother got to hear and enjoy the album before she passed. A thoroughly beautiful album.”

6. Smuggler’s Blues (The Allnighter, 1984)

“Whenever I hear this it takes me back to the Miami Vice episode that featured it. I had never heard it before, but liked it immediately. Even now when I hear it I have visions of the episode, and how the song faded in and out according to the action going on. Outstanding song writing!”

5. After Hours (After Hours, 2012)

“What a great “classics” album by the incomparable Glenn Frey! The tunes are beautiful, the arrangements superb and Glenn’s voice so smooth and amazing. He made this album for his parents and co-wrote the title track. Glenn always strived for perfection and I think he achieved it in his music more often than not. If you like this genre of music then you’ll love Glenn’s version of it! Very classy! “

4. You Belong to the City (Miami Vice soundtrack, 1985)

“Most of the Eagles songs tended to be on the country sounding side. A few written by Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh during the years the group was apart, were more contemporary, concerning life in the big city. This song is one of those songs. It has an up beat tempo with great horns and lyrics that speak of living in the urban nightlife. One of my favorites.”

3. Strange Weather (Strange Weather, 1992)

“I love the beat, a great song to Follow Long Hot Summer. I love the chimes at the end. This is his best solo work. With some cutting lyrics that you usually hear coming from his sidekick Don Henley.

2. Part of Me, Part of You (Strange Weather, 1992)

“Who knew just how wonderful Glenn Frey’s voice is? I was blown away by what this man can do. I heard some songs I had never heard before, and loved the ones I was familiar with”

1. The Heat Is On (The Allnighter, 1984)

“I’ve always liked this song, since the 80’s. Glenn Frey’s solo career wasn’t that bad especially when he did that bit on Miami Vice with Smuggler’s Blues, which is also a great song.
