Which Band Member's Solo Work Most Has the Eagles Sound?

I was introduced to the Eagles my freshman year of college, as my new college friends would play Hell Freezes Over a lot. I thought of myself as a casual fan, always asking to listen to them on road trips and buying my own copy of the album, but I didn't purchase any of their albums until years later, and I couldn't tell Glenn from Joe. Years later, my then-boyfriend bought me Long Road Out of Eden, and I eventually bought a boxed set of all of their albums on sale on Amazon. I loved the music, but even then, I couldn't pick anybody out from a lineup, except maybe Henley and Joe. Anyway, I would now call myself new mega-fan(?). They're my new hyperfocus, and I've been watching and listening to everything I can.

Anyway, I've been listening to some of their solo work. I've been familiar with Don Henley's work since the '90s. I recently started listening to Timothy B. Schmidt and Glenn, but I've been especially drawn to Glenn's music. I love his range, and I've found that of what I've heard so far, his music sounds most Eagles-like, with many similar harmonies in his songs. I don't remember hearing that in Don's work, but I haven't listened to whole albums of his, either. Would you agree that Glenn's solo music sounds most like the Eagles? If not, which band member's music?
