I liked Frey and Henley's solo careers more but that's because I grew up in a post-Eagles era.
I didn't know about what they did to Felder. Money squabbles in a band are always polarizing. As the main writers, they would already receive the lion's share of proceeds and royalties without having to screw Felder out of even more.
The royalty system is messed up. Any musician knows that for many songs, their composition arrives where it is because of contributions from every member, not just the guy who wrote the lyrics or decided on the chord structure.
