78. Glenn Frey

In 1990, Mojo Nixon released a song entitled “Don Henley Must Die”.  Basically the cry of the song was that Henley must die “before he gets together with Glenn Frey”.  Now, the Eagles are one of the most beloved bands of all time and their Country Rock blend still generates new fans.  With that said, after his first two solo albums, Don Henley degenerated into Adult Contemporary drivel, and we only wish that Glenn Frey simply went away.

In the 80’s, Glenn Frey went into nonsensical Pop music, the worst being “The Heat is On” from the Beverly Hills Cop Soundtrack.  The song is repetitive crap with a saxophone riff devoid of any soul; which is fairly difficult to do.  Shockingly, Frey parlayed this song into a second career and he morphed himself into scruffy Don Johnson lite and belted half assed music for Miami Vice.  Don Henley must die?  No, Glenn Frey must die before he thinks he is in Miami again.
