5. Walkaway Joe (duet with Trisha Yearwood)



NOTES: Gorgeous song. Love Trisha Yearwood ... but, again, I don't have any idea to what this video refers.

4. The Boys Of Summer



NOTES: This is a song that evokes an era, and while the production is dated, the song isn't. Heck, it was remade by The Ataris just a couple years ago.

3. Not Enough Love In The World



NOTES: This song makes me happy. Should have been a much bigger hit than it was. Not sure what in the heck this video is about, but it's not the music video. Obviously.

5. The Heart Of The Matter



NOTES: What's amazing is that Don Henley hasn't had THAT many non-Eagles hits, and yet pretty much all his non-Eagles work is wonderful. This song is one of the most powerful hits of the past 25 years.

1. Dirty Laundry



NOTES: This one isn't close. I distinctly remember this song being a hit when I was 12 and how unique it sounded. Although I didn't have any idea what the song was about then, I sure do now. This is a brilliant song and absolutely one of the most influential on my tastes.
