Biography
(1968 – present)
Bassist/vocalist Timothy B. Schmit, later of the Eagles, replaced original Poco member Randy Meisner after Poco’s debut album. Meisner was unhappy with Furay and Messina, feeling they gave him zero respect in the production of songs. Meisner went on to join Rick Nelson’s Stone Canyon band and later the Eagles. Schmit later joined the Eagles in 1978. Jim Messina, later of (Kenny) Loggins and Messina fame, who formed the band with Furay, departed in 1970, feeling Furay exhibited too much control. Paul Cotton replaced Messina on lead guitar in 1971. Original drummer George Grantham added a strong rock beat to country flavor picking and provided excellent harmony vocals. Other Poco members included later seventies/early eighties Drummer Steve Chapman and Bassist Charlie Harrison and current bassist Jack Sundrud.

Relative to their achievement, Furay-era Poco is easily the most underrated band I'm aware of from the turn of the decade ('60s to '70s, an insanely rich time for music, as most of us are aware).

I may be the only one who feels this way & i know all the reasons why i'm wrong, but i'll say it anyway: The Eagles are a poor man's Poco.

The so-called "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" doesn't mean shit. Don't know why people started mentioning it on wikis.

Even Glenn Frey of the eagles has been quoted saying POCO was one of the biggest inluences in the direction the EAGLES decided on going when they first started but POCO still isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. What an injustice since they in my opinion they created sountern and country rock .

Don't forget Rose of Cimarron and Indian Summer, their two best albums imo.

Fav band of all time! Underrated for sure. Southern Rock in general is underrated actually! Crazy Eyes, Cantamos, and Running Horse are AMAZING albums.
