No ill will towards the Eagles as a band, but Don Henley is a dick. Better than average musician, but still a dick.

Edited to address AlxTgr's valid point.

Never really cared for them either. I thought I Can't Tell You Why was their best song. Guess that's b/c it was sung by Schmit. Really disliked the Henley songs, thought the Frey ones were better.

One of the great talents from the talent-rich 1970s mainstream rock scene.

And, simultaneously one of the absolute worst human beings in entertainment history (which is saying quite a bit.)

Full disclosure: I've been a big fan since before Hotel California was released, so come at me, bro.

Why all the hate?

He and Frye wrote most of the songs.

He's really nothing special. Pedestrian drummer, vocal range as wide as a gnat's vag. Helped write some good songs though, I'll give him that.

The scene in Boogie Nights of the underage girl OD'ing is based on an incident that happened with Don Henley. He's a piece of shite.

a gnat's vag is really, really small. Like Henley's vocal range. He basically sings (well, speak-sings) the same exact note in the same exact octave all the time.

In the History of the Eagles documentary David Geffen says "Don Henley is a malcontent & he will always be a malcontent." That pretty much sums up Don Henley as a person. Geffen would know. And I admit I like The Eagles.
