Re: Celebration of "The Allnighter"
For me it ranks 3 out of 4. It's interesting that a couple of people think it's a better album than Strange Weather.
(My ranking of the albums is Strange Weather, No Fun Aloud, The Allnighter, Soul Searchin').

Re: Celebration of "The Allnighter"
For me the Allnighter is the best because I'm not a big fan of the other 3 (sorry Frey fans!). I just don't click with most of those songs where as my favorite Glenn solo songs are The Heat Is On, Smuggler's Blues, Sexy Girl, etc. 2 out of 3 of my favorite Frey solo songs are on that Allnighter album.
I actually prefer Glenn's guitar playing over his singing, and I like his singing a LOT! I find him to be a very underrated rhythm guitar player. He's the Keith Richards of the Eagles - he keeps the rhythm for the band and is a backbone to their sound. I find his guitar skills to be very underrated. He offers that foundation for Walsh and Felder (now Walsh and Smith) to do their stuff. He also can play some lead, but it's something he seems intimidated to do or uninterested in. I've seen him play lead on "Already Gone" for instance, and he's very good. But really Glenn is a rhythm guitarist, be it acoustic strumming or electric shuffle.
