I like four that you mention, and would add:

On the Border
The Disco Strangler
Those Shoes

Don Henley's a great singer I almost never want to hear sing.

Glenn and Don also recommend:

“one of these nights” has maybe my favorite don vocal performance

Yeah, it's not a bad Bee Gees pastiche and the opening sounds like it would make a great sample.

it’s more his smokey tone in verses than the chorus for me

I was actually surprised when I found out Don Henley was in the Eagles. Like I knew him as this '80s adult contemporary guy behind "Boys of Summer, "End of the Innocence," "Heart of the Matter," "All She Wants to Do Is Dance," etc. and it was weird to find out that he had this decade-long existence as a "country-rock" guy almost as old as Woodstock. But yeah, I like Henley as a vocalist - I'm much more partial to those '80s hits though.
