Time for our next Song Survivor! Our game this time will be Former Eagles Song Survivor. If you're new, for a basic overview of the game, see this post: Survivor Overview (https://eaglesonlinecentral.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6551&postcount=7)

I'm going to list the songs for Former Eagles Song Survivor here. Vote for the song that you feel should be eliminated from the list. The song that gets the most votes will be taken off of the list (or, in the language of Survivor, "Voted off of the island.") Each round, one more song will get axed, until there's only one left. Remember: you're voting for the one you want to go, not for the one you want to stay.

Note: Do not criticize how/why other people vote. Their reasons are their own and they are free to vote however they like. Also, never attack a fellow poster. You can disagree about a certain song without making it personal. Sometimes these games can get heated, but remember.. it's still just a game.

Each round will last 48 hours after posting to give people a chance to vote who don't post every day. That means that the first round will end at 8:00 Eastern time the day after tomorrow. If you miss a round, don't think you can't play. It's all good!

Since there may be discussion posts, be sure to make it clear when you are casting your vote. Votes cannot be cast after the cut off time of 8:00 on the second day, and they cannot be changed once you have voted.

If you get confused about what round we are in, look at this post. I'll always update it to reflect the current round. Also feel free to post any questions if you don't understand what's going on.

If there is a tiebreaker, then ALL votes from ALL previous rounds are tallied and whoever has the most prior votes is eliminated. That’s the way it’s done on the real show, that’s the way it’s done here. If there is a complete tie with prior votes (Murphy’s Law), then I'll have a sudden-death trivia question ready. The first person who answers it correctly gets to break the tie. The odds of that happening are slim, but you never know, and it's good to be prepared.

GAME OVER!!!

In a unanimous decision, the winner is:

Take It to the Limit

Songs Eliminated:
Journey of the Sorcerer 4/04
Train Leaves Here This Morning 4/06
Most of Us Are Sad 4/08
I Wish You Peace 4/10
Tryin’ 4/12
Too Many Hands 4/14
Visions 4/16
Earlybird 4/18
Is It True 4/20

Bitter Creek 4/24
Certain Kind of Fool 4/26
Take the Devil 4/28

Hope everyone enjoyed the game.

I know this will piss some people off but my first vote is for Visions. It has a very dated sound with its falsetto answering lines and lyrics like "Play on El Chingadero" don't help. I'm not saying it's horrible - it has some cool guitar parts and I like the line "If I can't have it all, just a taste will do." However, it's up against better material, IMHO.

I cast my vote for "Visions."

Train Leaves Here This Morning (too draggy)

Too Many Hands. It's good musically but lyrically I put it in the same bag as Witchy Woman, Chug All Night, Out Of Control, You Never Cry Like A Lover, Good Day In Hell, Victim Of Love, Disco Strangler, and Those Shoes.

I know I'm in the minority but I think Felder is a great singer and I love his voice... I prefer his new solo material but I do like Visions.

That said:

Journey Of The Sorcerer

Too Many Hands. It's good musically but lyrically I put it in the same bag as Witchy Woman, Chug All Night, Out Of Control, You Never Cry Like A Lover, Good Day In Hell, Victim Of Love, Disco Strangler, and Those Shoes.

Of course you have every right to this opinion but I must say I'm surprised! "Too Many Hands" is a commentary on the environment and while it's not Shakespeare, I actually find the lyrics to be far more interesting than the likes of "Disco Strangler" and "Chug All Night" for sure! I'm biased, though, because I absolutely adore the song.

I'm not surprised by the votes for "I Wish You Peace" and "Journey of the Sorcerer" as they often get disparaged, but some notes in their favor:

"I Wish You Peace" has an absolutely lovely, heartfelt sentiment that I find really appealing.

"Journey of the Sorcerer" has a drama to it that I absolutely love. Don't just hear it; close your eyes and experience it.

I was surprised how good a singer he actually is. Henley is better but I think they considered VOL to good a song to let him sing. I think it could have been a political decision

Regardless of how well-written they are, they all share a common theme. Unfortunately it's guilt by association

I would think A Train Leaves In The Morning isn't really that good. Like GS stated that it's too draggy, but I don't think the lyrics are really that strong and well written.

Is that the one you're going to vote for? Just checking because sometimes it's hard to tell if someone is musing about a song or is actually casting their vote for it to leave the island.

I see your point about TLHTM's lyrics. "The answer that I wrote down on my sleeve"? Plus, what does he mean by "I don't know what I might be on?" He doesn't know whether he should be on the train? :confused:

The line is actually "The address that I wrote down on my sleeve" referring to 1320 North Columbus.

Isn't it "address" rather than "answer?"

I reckon this is more of a "smoker passed it on" song both musically and lyrically

I guess you could call it (JOTS) interesting but I have never cared for it and usually skip it. I just did that yesterday when it came up on my playlist! To me it just doesn't fit in for an Eagles song.

I've got my favorite and my very least favorite down, but the rest are up for grabs! This is going to be a very tough game because I like most all of the rest of the songs pretty much equally.

I cast my vote for Journey of the Sorcerer.

I agree with Soda about Visions so-

I cast my vote for Visions.

I regards to the line "I don't know what I might be on?" in TLHTM, I always thought that it had a double meaning, that he might be "on" a drug.

Well, the way this game started out, I didn't know if any of these songs would get over 2 or 3 votes. lol But, it look like JOTS is going down. I am a bit surprised to see votes for Train Leaves Here This Morning so early. For me, it's one of my favorites. I just love it both lyrically and musically. Anyway, I'm going to vote for one of my least favorites that hasn't received any votes just to even up the playing field some ...

I cast my vote for Take the Devil.

I was actually saving JOTS for another round (being the original Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Theme)...great sci-fi song, but it doesn't really fit 100% as an Eagles song, I agree...

so I'm going with Train Leaves Here This Morning again...

Sorry about voting for Take the Devil last round, ALA. That just goes to show how all over the place we can be with our opinions on these songs. The funny part is that I happen to think it is Randy's weakest vocal performance with the band. I like it okay, but I don't love it for sure. I have to say, I think Randy and Bernie's songs on the band's debut album are some of their weakest overall. The one exception is Train Leaves Here This Morning, which I previously mentioned that I really like a lot.

This game is really going to be hard for me and I'm going to listen to what everyone has to say about these songs. My top two and bottom two are picked, but after that it's a toss up.

My next least favorite is Midnight Flyer. Randy does a great job singing it, but no one in the band wrote it and that is a big factor for me. Just never did really care for the song. :shrug:

Don't hurt me.

TimothyBFan

I vote for Most Of Us Are Sad.

My favorite songs in the game are sung by Randy... except this one. This one for some reason just drags for me and the words are such a downer in my opinion. It does make me sad and I don't need that. ;)

Just wanted to add ---- I must thank whoever it was that came up with the idea for this Survivor. I must admit, I do not listen to these songs as often as I should and since this game was announced, I've pulled them into a playlist I've been listening to quite a bit the last week or so. I had forgotten how good some of these are. :rockguitar:

ALA - This game is definitely not for everyone, so a lot of our active members choose not to play. The participation in the game may pick up some, but we rarely have over 20 people play these games. We actually have about 1,800 registered members on the board, but, obviously not all of them are active posters. As is the case with most all message boards, many folk just prefer to lurk, and other members come and go.

Aww - thanks Willie. I appreciate the kind words and it's nice to hear that you have refreshed your memory. :thumbsup: ITA that these Survivor games have an added benefit of helping fans come more familar with the band's music, especially the deep tracks in their catalog.

Shoot, right now it looks as if Train Leaves Here This Morning or Most of Us are Sad will go down this round. I really don't want either of them to leave this soon because I think they are both better songs than some of the others in the game. I'm going to tie the vote and see how this goes down. If we were to end up with a tie, then TLHTM will go down because it has more previous votes. So even though I hate to do it ...

I cast my vote for Most of Us Are Sad.

Freypower
04-06-2013, 11:47 PM
Wow. TLHTM is one of my favourites. I don't find MOUAS depressing at all. That isn't because Glenn wrote it. I think it has a bit more to say than some of their earlier songs.

I may be alone but I will continue to vote for the song I like the least of all Eagles songs, which is I Wish You Peace.

sodascouts
04-07-2013, 12:58 PM
To you guys saying MOUAS is a downer... Listen to the final verse. It's very redemptive. "I will sing you far away..love is here tonight." I think it's quite beautiful and the imagery of the song, despite its simplistic title, is more complex and interesting than the lyrics of many of our other contestants here.

Once again...

I agree with you about this, Soda. But, we are definitely in the minority here and there's no saving it now. Most of Us Are Sad is far from my favorite in the game, but I can think of at least a handful of songs that I think are weaker. I've said before that the chirping in Earlybird is about the only cringe-worthy moment on any Eagles song, IMO. Fortunately, the rest of the song is pleasant enough, but I still think it one of the weakest songs remaining and probably my least favorite, so ...

I cast my vote for Earlybird.

They're both very clunky songs that are trying too hard, excuse the pun. The lyrics of Visions are corny & unfortunately Felder does not have the voice to sell the song, although I like the guitar work. I like the lyrics of Tryin' but I find Randy's voice too strident (which it isn't in other songs). They lack that essential something which would lift them above average.

I love it. Front to back beginning to end. Although in the minority, I really like Felder's voice and I wish he could have sang lead on more songs. I just love the music on it. I feel it's pretty special because it was the only Felder lead vocal AND it was his time to shine in all ways.

OK, well I'm afraid I disagree about Felder's voice. He is adequate at best, particularly here. He doesn't bring anything to it vocally although I know he's trying. Therefore he can't lift it out of what it already was, a mediocre song.

The Eagles had two of the best singers in the business & one of them was being sadly underused on their later albums (by his own choice). I suppose I think the idea that more room should have been made for Felder's vocals when there was hardly any room for Frey's (or Meisner's or Schmit's) somewhat hard to take. In any case as we know he was given another chance to do a lead which didn't work. He was hired for his guitar playing, not his vocals. He admits himself he was the band's 'worst singer'.

PM - I would have joined your coalition last round if others had. It's hard to know which songs to choose for a coalition because, as we've said, we are so 'all over the place' in our opinions of these songs. This game has me scratching my head, which I'm not surprised about. I'm ready to see Earlybird go as well, but there doesn't seem to be much appetite here to get rid of it yet. Based on past votes, it looks like this round is going to be a battle between Visions and Too Many Hands, which are both better songs than Earlybird, IMHO. So it seems to me that those who want to save Too Many Hands this round will have to vote for Visions, and vice versa.

As usual, I'm going to wait to see how this round plays out before casting my vote.

sodascouts
04-13-2013, 03:17 PM
Earlybird is low on my list but Too Many Hands is quite high. I love that song! My favorite part is that slight pause between "but you won't hear a sound.. and "'til she turns around" and then it charges into that dramatic "oooh.... too many hands!" Also, it's one of Randy's sexier, edgier vocals. Terrific.

Visions, not so much.

Freypower
04-13-2013, 06:18 PM
I don't get some of these votes. Too Many Hands is a far superior song to Visions, Earlybird, Midnight Flyer, Bitter Creek, Is It True & Twenty-One. Although it's from my least favourite album, it is the fourth best track for me. I like it because it's different. All the others listed above apart from Visions & Bitter Creek are just standard country rock. There; I managed to find something nice to say about Visions.

I'm not even going to try & explain my complete astonishment at what happened to Train Leaves Here This Morning.

Prettymaid
04-13-2013, 08:50 PM
Maybe someone can tell me what is so great about Visions which I will vote for again.

I'm exasperated with myself for not being able to find the words to explain! It is very subjective. I personally always listen to the tune of the song first - the melody, music and the beat - before I listen to the lyrics. I don't know why it's like that for me. I used to be a lyrics girl (back when they put the lyrics on the album cover - LOVED that), but now it can be years before I pay attention to the lyrics of a song. I wish it were different for me, but that's how it is.

Visions appeals to me in all the categories I first mentioned. I like the sound of the song. I don't LOVE it...I don't really LOVE hardly any of these songs.

When I play Survivor, I try to treat the songs as if I'm hearing them all for the first time. Then I make my list. I try not to overthink it, but when we start talking about them like this sometimes I second guess myself.

While I admit that Felder's voice doesn't do a lot for me, I think here it's pretty good. But more than that, I love the guitar and beat of this song more than anything. And I think the lyrics are pretty good also, especially this verse:

Go ahead and live all your fantasies
(Don't you ever think about the other side?)
Helps you get from where you are to where you want to be
(You and me ought to be taking a ride)
You do the best you can and you make your mistakes
(If you don't like it, you can say that you tried)
'Cause all I have to give is whatever it takes

In my opinion, it's far above mediocre.

For what it's worth, since we still all seem to be all over the place in this game-like Dreamer said, I like that--makes it interesting, I will stick with my vote of Twenty-One.

Prettymaid

I think the programme is called 'Dancing with the stars' throughout the rest of the world, though in the UK it's called 'Strictly come dancing', and over here each year there is heated (online forum) debate when someone who is at least good is voted off before one of the 'duffers'.
Later in the series the debate centres around someone who is slightly better than average being voted off before someone who just average.
But what is often ignored in these debates is the key question of 'would that voted-off person truly have reached the top three in the competition?'. If the answer is 'no', then in a way it doesn't really matter whether they left in round 1 or round 10, because they still wouldn't have made the crucial round 12.
It's the same thing with the Border 'Survivors'. Realistically the most you can hope for is that your top five are the last five standing. If everyone agrees with your top three it's a bonus. :)

I agree about the chirps soooooo, I'm going to hold off on my Twenty-One vote this round in case I have to throw Earlybird under the bus with everyone else to save Certain Kind Of Fool.

And someone, ANYONE, please tell me what I'm missing in Twenty-One!!!! :headscratch:

Twenty-One is not a great song but it shows the exuberant outlaw/rock star at the very start, optimistic & full of hope for the future, before the mood starts to darken, even in the very next song, Out Of Control. Also it is nice to hear Bernie sing something uptempo.

As far as Twenty-One, I like the song a lot. Even though it is probably my least favorite song on the Desperado album, I still like it better than all of Randy's and Bernie's songs on the Eagles album except for Train Leaves Here This Morning. I think it is very uplifting and I especially love the lyrics. As far as this round, I agree that it's time for Earlybird to go. I would vote for it if it needed my vote. But since it doesn't, I'm going to join Brooke and vote strategically ...

I cast my vote for Midnight Flyer.

I love Twenty-One's exuberance and Midnight Flyer has great harmonies. Bitter Creek has a interesting philosophical intensity to it: "Son, don't wade too deep in bitter creek" is an effective metaphor warning against the dangers of wallowing in acrimony.

On the other hand, Take the Devil is very forgettable. Who here could recite its lyrics without help, I wonder? Not too many, I bet!

Thus...

I cast my vote for Take the Devil.
