    I don't have the expertise to 'rate' the solos technically. However off the top of my head:

    1. Walsh/Felder - Hotel California (I would rather not split those)
    2. Frey - I Can't Tell You Why
    3. Walsh - Life In The Fast Lane
    4. Felder - Victim Of Love
    5. Walsh - Long Road Out Of Eden
    6. Leadon - Peaceful Easy Feeling
    7. Frey - Try & Love Again
    8. Walsh - Heartache Tonight
    9. Felder - One Of These Nights
    10. If this is OK, Frey - I Dreamed There Was No War

    Honourable mentions to all three guitarists in King Of Hollywood.

    Technical knowlege has nothing to do with this poll, it's whatever solos you dig the most. In fact, most of my favorite solos were played by Glenn, who had the least technical ability of the four of them

    Great topic SS, but I'm horrible at this kind of thing (lists)!

    Let me just say that I have always said that I absolutely love the guitar work in I Can't Tell You Why, and until recently didn't know that Glenn gets the credit!

    It's a perfect occupation for me.

    I agree this is a really good topic, but I can never come up with these lists off the top of my head either. I'm gonna have to give this one some thought, although I know for sure that Hotel California will be at the top of my list.

    Right, but the On The Border liner notes credit Bernie as lead guitarist. I don't think Felder was even in the band yet when it was recorded. Remember, Felder always played the I Can't Tell You why solos

    The Eagles play guitars?

    Seriously, I'm no good at the guitar, instruments stuff. I hear them but they don't really register as "wow, that was a great solo!". Does that make sense?
    He sings it high, he plays it low
