Joe Walsh
Funk #49 (1970)
The Bomber (1970)
Tend My Garden (1970)
Walk Away (1971)
Turn To Stone (1972)
Rocky Mountain Way (1973)
Life's Been Good (1978)

These are just my favorites, so I apologize if I left out something important.
He's got some dope stuff on bootleg (James Gang, Barnstorm, The Eagles, etc). I'll post a few things shortly.
As for my vote, it's hard not to go with "In The City".

Re: Joe Walsh
My brother would whip my ass for not voting for in the city but... walk away is one of my favorite classic rocks of all time.

Re: Joe Walsh
Some James Gang Rarities:
Jeff's Boogie Jam (Kent State WMMS-FM - Late 1968)
http://www.divshare.com/download/24060098-249
This is the earliest known Joe Walsh recording. It's a cover of the Jeff Beck track "Jeff's Boogie". Here's some info from the person who unearthed it:
http://www.divshare.com/download/24060492-158
Ashton Park Jam (San Francisco 11/21/70)
http://www.divshare.com/download/24060491-60c
You're Gonna Need Me (San Francisco 11/21/70)
http://www.divshare.com/download/24060493-701
San Francisco 11/21/70 is probably the best unreleased show in circulation, which isn't saying much. It's a soundboard, but most of the vocal tracks are distorted, and therefore unlistenable. These three are great, though.
Walk Away (New York 5-15-71)
http://www.divshare.com/download/24060257-439
From the officially released "James Gang In Concert".
The Bomber (VPRO 7-15-71)
http://www.divshare.com/download/24060179-6db
Take A Look Around (VPRO 7-15-71)
http://www.divshare.com/download/24060178-c04
These are the only two tracks that surfaced from a concert in Frisa, Holland. According to the dude who taped 'em off the radio, there were only 40 people in attendance. Joe would leave the band towards the end of the year to embark on a solo career.

This is the earliest known Joe Walsh recording. It's a cover of the Jeff Beck track "Jeff's Boogie". Here's some info from the person who unearthed it:
Intro Jam (San Francisco 11/21/70)This is a weird one. It appears to be a live in the studio recording. Of course, WMMS-FM
was in Cleveland, and Kent State wasn't (but close), so maybe the connection is
that the band were students at Kent State, and the tape was taken to WMMS-FM to
be broadcast? WMMS-FM started up circa October 1968, so it likely has to be after
that. Walsh's guitar is way up in the mix, and Fox's drums are a bit buried, but for
the era it sounds pretty good. I'm calling this "Jeff's Boogie Jam" as that's the basic
theme for most of it, but there's countless BEATLES, YARDBIRDS and many other
riffs present here. Lots of wah-wah and echoplex, especially towards the end.

Turn To Stone (Arlington 9/24/73)
http://www.divshare.com/download/24077941-06d
Three keepers from the only Barnstorm soundboard in circulation. Rocky Mountain Way has some flaws, so I didn't post it. Otherwise, it was a very short show (6 tracks).
Rocky Mountain Way (Houston 11/6/76)
http://www.divshare.com/download/24077939-517
From an Eagles soundboard. I edited out the horrible Peter Frampton shit. They also performed Turn To Stone and Funk #49, but the backup singing by Henley & Frey is so atrocious that they're pretty much unlistenable.
Life Of Illusion (Dallas 10/11/81)
http://www.divshare.com/download/24077961-877
This was pretty much Joe's last hurrah. Nothing else from this show is listenable.

Re: Joe Walsh
The Eagles are one of my dad's favorite bands. I've always been of my dad's good friend's opinion that they have 3 great songs (Hotel California, Desparado and New York Minute are my favorites and the rest is meh).
I'm not very familiar with Joe Walsh's solo career, but Life's Been Good is one of the most baller rock songs of all time. Word up.

I could put this on a loop and listen to it all day long:
Take It Easy (Isolated Electric Guitar)

From a Take It Easy multitrack bootleg with 9 isolated parts and a mixdown. Shit is clutch.
