The Don Comes Around



Donald Hugh "The Don" Henley hid behind the drums for most of the seventies (and who could blame him?). But the eighties brought on the solo synth-infused fury that is the Don we know and cherish today. His brief love connection with Stevie Nicks even produced a catchy jam that locked number two on my countdown. There are other choice Henley jams out there, but for my money these five little doozies make up a fine portrait of our formerly feathered friend.

5.Desperado
4.Heart of the Matter
3.End of the Innocence
2.Leather and Lace*
1.Boys of Summer

*Not technically a Don song, but c'mon, it's a classic and the man totally holds up his end.
