Okay - since an old thread was revived in the Frey forum, I thought it would be a good idea to start a similar thread for Don. I'm working on my list now and will post it soon.

2. Long Road Out Of Eden
3. Life In The Fast Lane
4. One Of These Nights
5. Witchy Woman
6. Waiting In The Weeds
7. Desperado
8. Victim Of Love
9. Best Of My Love
10. The Sad Cafe

This was (predictably) very difficult. I just went with my gut, and penned this list quickly. I think it covers my absolute favourites, though.

1. Wasted Time
2. Long Road Out Of Eden
3. The Last Resort
4. The Best Of My Love
5. One Of These Nights
6. Hotel California
7. Those Shoes
8. Desperado
9. Witchy Woman
10. Waiting In The Weeds

Okay - Just like in Glenn's thread, I tried really hard to keep this list to ten songs, but there is just no way I can. I just don't know how I can cut any of these songs unless I just toss a coin. So, here it is ...

1. Hotel California

2. One of These Nights

3. Waiting In the Weeds

4. Wasted Time

5. The Last Resort

6. Long Road Out of Eden

7. The Best of My Love

8. Please Come Home for Christmas

9. Desperado

10. The Sad Cafe

11. Life In the Fast Lane

12. The Long Run

13. Those Shoes

14. Witchy Woman

4. Wasted Time
5. Saturday Night
6. Hotel California
7. After the Thrill is Gone

No particular order except #1!!

1) Best Of My Love
2) One Of These Nights
3) How Long
4) King Of Hollywood
5) Waiting In The Weeds
6) Wasted Time
7) After The Thrill Is Gone
8) Life In The Fast Lane
9) The Sad Cafe
10) Those Shoes

That being said, I can almost guarantee you that a week from now if I was asked to do this again without being able to see this list, I probably wouldn't list the same 10.

I have to agree with what everyone else is posting...too hard to pick JUST 10. But I'd have to include "All She Wants To Do Is Dance" on my list.

Ah crap.......well if we're throwin' in his solo songs that they've performed then this just became even more impossible....if that's possible :hilarious:

I like a good challenge that's why I included solo songs. Plus it gave me a chance to listen to the cds all the way through which is something I hadn't done in a while. :)

Wow so tough to narrow it down to 10...

Yep. Would be easier to pick the ones I don't like!

(Easy peasy: Witchy Woman - I have always hated that song, don't know why. Usually seeing something performed live in concert cures me of that, but not in this case. The only other would be that horrid disco song on LROE, I can't even recall the name because I always skip over it on the CD and it's never earning a place on my iPod.)

Favorites:
Waiting in the Weeds
Desperado
Please Come Home For Christmas
Hotel California
The Last Resort
I Will Not Go Quietly
The Heart of the Matter
Hole in the World
Wasted Time
Sunset Grill

I agree with you on Witchy Woman--not one of my faves but I disagree if you are talking about Fast Company of LROOE. I know a lot of people don't care much for it (we've had that discussion a few times here) but I truly really like it. Heard it this morning on the ipod.

(I would agree about FC though.)

Ha. I knew that would probably get someone's dander up if I admitted to hating WW. It's never been one of my favorites, but it's gone from mild distaste to downright hate over the years. Don't tell Don. ;)

Fast Company, yep that's it. I did read somewhere the even Don didn't like that song much. My son likes the techno-disco feel of it, but not me.

Honorable mention goes to Don's bit parts on Do Something (Timothy's lead) and What Do I Do With My Heart (Glenn's lead)...both of which give me the chills when I hear him sing his verse.

Oh, I love Witchy Woman. One if my all time favouites!

However, Fast Company is not one of my favourite songs. The verses have grown on me a bit, but not the chorus. It certainly is my least favourite on LROOE.

How funny - I don't like the song either, but it's the verses that I don't care for - I find the chorus catchy.

And now, I'd like to thank y'all for making Fast Company play on the jukebox in my mind for the last several hours. Next track, please!!! :nahnah:
