We May Lose and We May Win, But We Will Never be Here Again

The world lost yet another musical icon way too soon with the passing of Glenn Frey on January 18. He was only 67 years old. Frey was the founder, guitarist, and singer-songwriter for the Eagles. Here is the Wikipedia page for Glenn Frey and an article by the author of To the Limit, the Untold Story of The Eagles. These will provide some trivia to add to your tribute ride.

Did you know the album Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971–1975 still holds the record as bestselling album of the 20th century by a group?

Here is a Spotify playlist for your Glenn Frey tribute. Since the Eagles’ style is softer country rock, you may want to add higher-energy songs from their contemporaries of the 1970s. Some groups to consider who are great for indoor cycling are Fleetwood Mac, Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Kansas, The Who, and Tom Petty. Here is a list of the Top 100 groups of the 1970s if you need some help!  

ICA members can download the tribute profile below created by Jeanne Sims. It’s called Rock & Rolling Hills—Glenn Frey Tribute Ride.

RIP, Glenn Frey.
