OK, guys, so we've decided to do a "Best of Timothy B. Schmit" Survivor. In order to get the songs for it, we took the songs from this thread (https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2876). When possible, I have linked to where you can buy them. When that is not possible, I have linked to where you can hear them. (Unfortunately, all of Timothy's albums are out of print except forPlayin' It Cool (http://www.amazon.com/Playin-It-Cool/dp/B002T3THRS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1341989530&sr=8-4&keywords=timothy+b.+schmit) and Expando (http://www.amazon.com/Expando-Timothy-B-Schmit/dp/B002NPUCQ2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341989530&sr=8-1&keywords=timothy+b.+schmit)). The determined Survivor songs are, in alphabetical order:

Boys Night Out (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCUilkA38Xo)
Don't Give Up (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJShLUoEGzw)
Down By the River (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXnnMfsWq7o)
Every Song Is You (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0RCaRiuhxE)
Friday Night (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFV0cBMRN54&feature=plcp)
Make You Feel My Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-pGXDB4Ie4)
Parachute (http://www.amazon.com/Parachute/dp/B002SEQADW/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1341988048&sr=1-5)
Secular Praise (http://www.amazon.com/Secular-Praise/dp/B002SEVMBM/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1341988048&sr=1-17)
The Shadow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk8-oa6kMy4)
So Much in Love (http://www.amazon.com/So-Much-In-Love/dp/B002T3RI60/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1341988048&sr=1-1)
Top of the Stairs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTMKDoXGoDU)
Was It Just the Moonlight (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvoEMhByd0Y&feature=plcp)



There's only one problem: we want to have five more songs to make this a nice juicy Survivor. What 5 more songs to pick?

Well, back several years ago, we did this, and some songs got picked then but didn't get picked now. How about we choose from them? We also added a couple from Expando for you to pick from.

So now, it's your turn! Take this list below and pick the five from it that you feel should round out the Survivor list above. Again, when possible, I've linked to where you can purchase the song or, if that's not possible,to where you can hear it. You have approximately a week - until Tuesday at 7:00 pm Eastern!

PICK FIVE OF THE SONGS BELOW TO ADD TO THE ABOVE LIST FOR THE SURVIVOR:
Note: There is no need to rank them. Just pick five.

If like me, you love every one of the Survivor songs already on the list, the trick with the additional choice is to pick your five least favourites, so it's easier to vote off the first five. :grin:

A Good Day
Something Sad
Tell Me What You Dream
A Better Day Is Coming
Playin' It Cool

And as for

Oh this is fun for us sweet Timothy B fans:smile:
wait till you start playing. 'Fun' will be the last word you will use. :grin:

Did you really do it that way? :headscratch:


Here's my 5---

Something Sad
White Boy From Sacramento
Playin' It Cool
All I Want To Do
A Better Day Is Coming

Gonna have to do my homework and study each song over and over again, compiling my list, analyzing the results and doing it again, etc..... Will take bundles of my precious time, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. :wink:Don't want to get this wrong. :hilarious:

At least if Roxy's Eyes makes it into the last 5 songs to be included, I'll have my first song to vote off. (ducking and running)

Wow - that was one of the easiest list I've done in a long time. I'm pretty sure it won't be this easy once the real game begins. :thumbsup:

No. Or at least, not entirely. :)
If I had I would have included 'Caroline no', and 'Let it be me' which I personally don't think should be included because Tim never recorded them on one of his albums.
It'll be interesting to see how many of the 'additional five' make it more than halfway through the game.

I wouldn't have included Caroline No or Let It Be Me either (and with Caroline No I'm afraid this is out of the question, anyway. Sorry).

A Good Day
A Better Day Is Coming
In Roxy's Eyes
Tell Me What You Dream
White Boy From Sacramento

I think Expando should be represented as much as possible.

Decisions, decisions! It always seems a shame to have to eliminate any of the material these guys have done. I, personally, would have included I Only Have Eyes For You as an option for the last five to be added but I have a real soft spot for that song no matter who sings it. Anyway, here are my choices:

Caroline No
Let It Be Me
Something Sad
In Roxy's Eyes
Tell Me What You Dream

Well, looks as if I know which one I'll be voting for first. After that, it will be anyone's guess. I need to start analyzing these the next couple of days.

sodascouts
07-16-2012, 07:51 AM
The one I'm voting for first isn't even on the above list. I don't know how it got on the initial one as it is inferior to them all!

Topkat
07-16-2012, 02:34 PM
This should be an interesting game. Lots of varied opinions on these songs! Let the games begin!

07-17-2012, 08:46 AM
I've got my list ready!!! So excited for this one!:blueblob: Now if you'll all just do what I do, this should go really smoothly! :nahnah:

TBF..... :steviesmack:

A Better Day is Coming
A Good Day
Let It Be Me
In Roxy's Eyes
White Boy from Sacramento (not one of my faves, but I think it'd be fun to see where it falls.)


*sure wish Friday Night and Downtime had made the cut.

sodascouts
07-17-2012, 03:22 PM
Apparently SOME people don't appreciate that it's all In Roxy's Eyes. ;)

PM, if you go back and read the first post, you'll see that Friday Night did indeed make it. It's true that Downtime, however, didn't. :(

With PM's input, the preliminary results are:

A Good Day: 12
In Roxy's Eyes: 11
White Boy from Sacramento: 11
Something Sad: 9
Tell Me What You Dream: 8

Caroline No: 7
A Better Day Is Coming: 7
All I Want to Do: 6
Let It Be Me: 5
Playin' It Cool: 4

The Survivor for Tim starts tonight at 8:00 pm Eastern time - if anyone else wants to chime in, better do so soon before 7:00 pm Eastern tonight.

SG, It's just like the game Survivor on tv, You vote for the song you want to eliminate each round. At the end you vote for the song you want to win! It's lots of fun, so join in!
