View Full Version : Eagles Song Survivor: Eagles LP

Here we go, the next Song Survivor! Our album this time will be Eagles. 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 of Eagles 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 your LEAST favorite, not your favorite.

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.

We have finished the game. Thanks for playing!

The winner of the Eagles LP Survivor Game is:
Take It Easy

Tryin' 07/22

Yes I suppose its inevitable which songs will go first and also which will remain. I have a 'feeling' I know what 2 will be left in the final shakeup. However for now I cast my vote for 'Tryin'. I may miss a few rounds as I'll be away for a week from Tuesday. :(

07-22-2007, 07:42 PM
Wow - I'm getting surprized here already. I thought for sure that Earlybird would be the first to go in the game. I think many of the songs on this debut album are about the same quality, and most of them pleasant to listen to. However, once you get past the 'big three', there are no real standouts. This may make for an interesting and unpredictable game. As far as Get You In the Mood, I actually like it a lot and hope it will stay around a bit. IMO, it is better than some of the tracks that made it on to the album. So since my pick is not going to be voted off this round, I don't have any strong preference for the outcome. Therefore, I will vote for the future...

I cast my vote for Earlybird.

Technically Get You In The Mood is not on the Eagles album. I was going to suggest that we include it in the next Survivor game, where we do all the non-album tracks right down to Fast Company & Do Something. However, as it's now here, I'm secretly fond of it and am not voting for it yet.

I cast my vote for Earlybird.

I had never heard Get You in the Mood before, either--they definitely made the right choice to leave that one off the album!

I vote for Most of Us are Sad.

Brooke
07-23-2007, 03:27 PM
I really think Get You in the Mood should go next since it really wasn't on the album. We don't want it competing with some of the others! So, I cast my vote for Get You in the Mood!

DonFan
07-23-2007, 04:14 PM
Okay, I'm confused.
Get You In the Mood isn't on The Eagles album--so why are we voting for it?

glenneaglesfan
07-23-2007, 06:20 PM
I think Marco suggested it, as it was released as a b-side, however, I agree with Brooke.

I cast my vote for Get You In The Mood

sodascouts
07-23-2007, 08:22 PM
It's true Get You in the Mood isn't technically on the Eagles LP. However, Marco pointed out that it was released as a B-side for the Eagles LP. I saw his point and added it.

I think it's legitimate for the following reasons:
1) You can arguably say that it is part of the album since the single, Take It Easy, was off the LP and Get You in the Mood was its B-side. That attaches it specifically to the album.
2) Putting it up against these songs, its "peers" in terms of writing, casts it more in a contextual light than it would if we put it against the other non-album tracks like Fast Company and Do Something, written over 35 years later.

But in the grand scheme of the Eagles Survivor games it doesn't really make a huge difference. We know it's gonna go out pretty soon no matter what it's up against.

Freypower
07-23-2007, 09:32 PM
I just want to say a couple of words in its favour before it disappears.

It's naive and raw, as is Chug All Night. But it has a certain charm. You can cringe at 'last girl I hit on wasn't very pretty' or you can think that this is a young man still trying to find his way in the world who hasn't even got his Teen King persona fully developed yet. The chorus is pretty ordinary (I need you baby/you drive me crazy - yeah yeah). Listen to how he sings it though and I defy you not to at least feel :blush: ..... interested. :blush:

Sexy Girl
07-24-2007, 03:29 AM
Shucks, I'm late again :? but at least I caught the second round in time!

Not because it is only a B-side but because I think it's a really awful song - as a song itself and also the way it is mixed -
I cast my vote for Get You In The Mood.

Ive always been a dreamer
07-24-2007, 10:33 AM
FP - I agree with you about Get You In the Mood. Admittedly, it's not a masterpiece and thankfully, it's not Glenn's best work , but I agree it has a certain appeal. I particularly like it's bluesy tone. I just grin at the lyrics that obvously came from a young 20 year old hormone-raging male rock star wannabe. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't write this song today, just like he wouldn't have written NMCD back then. Anyway, having said all that, I guess I'm not going to be able to save it, so...

I cast my vote for Earlybird.

I cast my vote for Nightingale.

It's not that it's bad, it's just not memorable. I'm hard-pressed to recall any of the lyrics or even the melody except the one part I like the most, the chorus. I like everything from "Here comes my baby" to "we will prevail." The other part I remember is my least favorite part - "I'm hanging on to my special friend." Calling one's girlfriend one's "special friend" is just weird! "Hi, I'm Don, I'd like you to meet my special friend Stevie." ;)

Marco, first of all how in the world can you hate Witchy Woman? I love it! It's one of my all time favorites and the first song I ever heard Don Henley sing! :headshake:

Can I ask why you love Most of Us Are Sad so much? I'm sorry, but to compare it with what is left, well, there is no comparison, even with Train Leaves Here. Just my opinion.

Anyway, I cast my vote for Most of Us Are Sad.

I totally agree about Witchy Woman - it is a great song. IMHO, Most of Us Are Sad should have been the second or third song to be eliminated and I think it has lasted WAY longer than it should have. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, I don't think there is any poll, contest, or game around where fans would vote that Most of Us Are Sad is a better song than Witchy Woman. Since Most of Us Are Sad is going ....

I cast my vote for Train Leaves Here This Morning.

Edited to add: I got so carried away talking about WW vs. MOUAS that I didn't get my vote submitted before the 8:00 p.m. deadline. Therefore, I will not count it in the final tally.

Aw guys, don't be so down on Most of Us Are Sad. I know not everyone likes it, but we all have different tastes. I think it's beautiful. I like it better than Train Leaves Here This Morning, that's for sure!

Dreamer, you're ideal to handle this with your honesty! Thanks for doing this for me while I'm in Texas and unable to access the internet regularly at 8:00pm eastern.

While it's still early in the round, I have a feeling Train will go next. Time to be strategic...

Well it was always going to be down to these last 2 wasn't it. That night last year in Dublin, Glenn :heart: blew me away with Take it Easy. But by the time he got to Peaceful Easy Feeling it was like time had stopped. It was like it was just Glenn :heart: singing and me looking up at him. And I knew that I'd fallen so hard for him that I'd never be able to pick myself up again.

So this ones for you Glenn :heart:

I vote for Take it Easy to win!

sodascouts
08-07-2007, 08:52 PM
Take It Easy is right up there with Hotel California as the signature Eagles song. It is the ONLY song in the entire Eagles catalog that has been played at EVERY SINGLE EAGLES CONCERT EVER, in one form or another. That alone should be enough to make it win. It was the first song off of the first album, the first hit, the way people were introduced to them. Tritt's cover of the song got them back together in 1993. Add to that the fact that Peaceful Easy Feeling was written entirely by someone else and for me, there's no contest.

TAKE IT EASY for the win!!!

Brooke
08-07-2007, 10:33 PM
Sorry to see you go Witchy Woman. That song brought Don Henley to me way back in 1972 and I've loved that voice ever since. Listening to it today on this album, I'm just still amazed at his voice on that song. It's just nearly indescribable! :heart:

As for these last two, there's no doubt in my mind that Take It Easy must win! For me, it's my overall fave song and it's their anthem. Hearing those first notes at the beginning just always makes me feel good. Glenn's delivery (does he sound good or what?) is beautiful and I love hearing Randy's harmonys in the high parts. "Lighten up while you still can" is my fave line. Love it, love it, love it!

So, in case you don't understand, I cast my vote for Take It Easy! :D

Freypower

Mrs Frey

I know I'm going to be hopelessly outvoted in this, but I've made my difficult and painful decision. Both songs are among my favourite Eagles songs, and Glenn's :heart: voice is just so beautiful and effortless on both too. All your arguments in favour of "Take It Easy" have plenty of merit, and are completely justified, and I did consider that "Peaceful Easy Feeling" was not written by one of the Eagles.

However, after having said all that, I am completely in love with this song, and I melt everytime I hear Glenn :heart: sing it, so I vote for "PEACEFUL EASY FEELING" to win!

glenneaglesfan
08-08-2007, 03:50 AM
I can see it's going to be outvoted, and I love both songs, and Take It Easy is the signature tune of the Eagles for me, but I love the way Glenn sings PEF (especially the Second Night version), and, well, the words....

I will start the usual screenshot history shortly.

For the next game I suggest doing all the miscellaneous songs we haven't done (this is where I would have put Get You In The Mood, but never mind). This will include the Christmas songs, Seven Bridges Road (and All Night Long)? and go right up until Fast Company and Do Something. I don't think it matters that the songs are from different eras.

Do we have the second night version of it up anywhere?

sodascouts
08-09-2007, 10:04 PM
Perhaps we should divide out the misc. live from the others? That would be All Night Long, Seven Bridges Road, The Girl from Yesterday, Learn to Be Still, Get Over It, Love Will Keep Us Alive, and One Day at a Time.

Then, we could do another with the leftovers - Please Come Home for Christmas, Funky New Year, Hole in the World, No More Cloudy Days, Fast Company, and Do Something. Am I forgetting anything?

sodascouts
08-09-2007, 10:07 PM
Or should we leave off the 2005+ songs in case they're on the new album?

Freypower
08-09-2007, 10:15 PM
If you leave those last two out and you divide them up the way you've suggested, it wouldn't make for a very long game. I think they should be included in the second game as you've said. After all, we've all heard them. I really, REALLY hope they will not be on this album but if they are, we can do another game including them if necessary.
