"THE REAL REASON JOE WALSH JOINED THE EAGLES Everyone thinks it was for the money. Or the copious groupies. Good guesses but … WRONG! It was THIS, their debut album - one of the best mixtures of both hard and soft rock of the entire 70s. I mean I LOVE Joe Walsh and consider his James Gang Rides Ag..." [+] Reply
