2. Joe turned that band from something mildly interesting to something fantastic

That is all.

4. My all-time favorite Joe Walsh track, "County Fair"...

...yeah, I love "Rocky Mountain Way," but "County Fair" is the manifestation of that "something fantastic" you refer to:

Probably one of the best guitar solos of all time. Easy to see why Joe's feelings were hurt when Rolling Stone snubbed him in their "Greatest Guitarists Of All Time" issue a few years ago. They named guys who couldn't carry Joe's luggage.
