Eagles Song Survivor: Non-Studio Album Songs

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Time for our next Song Survivor! Our game this time will be Non-Studio Album Songs 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 Non-Studio Album songs 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 Non-Studio Album Songs LP Survivor Game is:
Get Over It

Songs eliminated:
Funky New Year 09/22
All Night Long 09/24
The Girl from Yesterday 09/26
Love Will Keep Us Alive 09/28
Hole in the World 09/30
Please Come Home for Christmas 10/2
Learn to Be Still 10/4
Life’s Been Good 10/6
One Day at a Time 10/8
Seven Bridges Road 10/10

Game Over!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Just thought I'd let everyone know that I volunteered to handle the Survivor game for Soda since she has her hands full right now. Hope everyone enjoys the game.

[Freypower]

Yay! I'd been looking forward to this.

The first vote is easy. Too easy. I apologise to Tim fans, but Love Will Keep Us Alive is not in my opinion an Eagles standard song.

So I cast my vote for Love Will Keep Us Alive.

[SweetHolly]

I cast my vote for All Night Long.

[sodascouts]

I say, All Night Long - it's tons of fun and I love it, but it's not really an Eagles song per se, although obviously as released on the Eagles Live album it can technically be considered one (hence its inclusion).

I cast my vote for All Night Long.

Thanks for helping me out with this, dreamer!

[EasyFeeling]

Hmmm... I don't have 3 of the songs:

All Night Long
Please Come Home For Christmas
Funky New Year

Soda, do you have the songs as a download?

[sodascouts]

I have All Night Long:

http://www.joewalshonline.com/multimedia/MP3/AllNightLongEastTroy80.mp3

I don't have Please Come Home for Christmas or Funky New Year available for download, I'm afraid, but I'll look around for commercially unavailable ones to post.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

No! No! No! - I urge you, please don't eliminate All Night Long - that song ROCKS! ;) Now - IMO, there is one song here that I consider less than stupendous, and I will vote accordingly.

I cast my vote for Funky New Year.

[EasyFeeling]

Thanks Soda. I like that song. :)

To take part in this Song Survivor... could someone please email the other two songs to me?

[glenneaglesfan]

Oh no, please don't vote for Love Will Keep Us Alive or All Night Long. LWYUA was one of the tracks that called me back two years ago, and All Night Long is a great rocker.

I cast my vote for Funky New Year.

[sodascouts]

I uploaded versions of the other two songs:

[DonFan]

I cast my vote for Love Will Keep Us Alive.

[Glennsallnighter]

I cast my vote for Funky New Year

[sodascouts]

Oh, I agree All Night Long is superior to Funky New Year! I just believe that as a solo song released on an Eagles album, All Night Long and Life's Been Good should go first.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Oh, I agree All Night Long is superior to Funky New Year! I just believe that as a solo song released on an Eagles album, All Night Long and Life's Been Good should go first.

Totally NO! :D

As a matter of fact, Life's Been Good has become such a fixture in the Eagles live shows that it's almost as if it is an Eagles song, I want it to win it all! :P :nod:

[Freypower]

I also don't think they should go just because they are solo songs. They are both far superior to LWKUA, and in my opinion also to PCHFC. I would rate LBG above FNY though.

[timfan]

I cast my vote for Funky New Year

[Maleah]

I'm with ya dreamer!!



I cast my vote for Funky New Year

[EasyFeeling]

Oh, I'm too late for voting... :roll:

Nice harmonies in this song but I've never liked it much:

I cast my vote for Hole In The World.

[glenneaglesfan]

Well, it's good to hear it at Christmas, but it's a cover, and I'm struggling here, so

I cast my vote for Please Come Home For Christmas

[Glennsallnighter]

I cast my vote for 'All Night Long'

[Freypower]

I cast my vote for Love Will Keep Us Alive.

[timfan]

I cast my vote for All Night Long

[DonFan]

I'm with you, FP--I cast my vote for Love Will Keep Us Alive.

[Maleah]

Well, it looks like All Night Long is going to go.....unfortunately........soooooo


I cast my vote for The Girl From Yesterday


Don't kill me in my sleep please!

[sodascouts]

Hmm, maybe it's time to make Maleah a girl from yesterday....

PERMANENTLY!

:machinegun:

~ evil laughter ~

;)

[Maleah]

*gulp* :shock:

Now Soda.......learn to be still :shock: :D ;)

[Ive always been a dreamer]

:D :D :D

Actually, Maleah - I was going to join you, but have changed my mind. I think this is going to be a fun game because of its unpredictability. I figured Funky New Year would go pretty early (BTW - am I the only one that finds it hard to believe that the same awesome quartet that wrote Heartache Tonight also wrote Funky New Year? :shock: :wink: ). However, I am surprized that All Night Long is going so early. I have no idea what will go after that - they are all pretty good songs. But anyway, after a lot of deliberation and with much regret ...

I cast my vote for Hole in the World.

[Perfect Little Sister]

Well I guess I'll jump into the fray and cast my vote for Hole In The World.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

The next song to be voted off in Non-Studio Album Songs Survivor is All Night Long . “All Night Long” grab a long neck and a good ‘ol song as you head out, and then please leave immediately. The rest of the songs may return to camp.

[Freypower]

Oh well, I will try a different tactic. I cast my vote for Please Come Home For Christmas. I tried to take to this song, but I never quite did.

[sodascouts]

I know Dreamer will kill me but...

I cast my vote for Life's Been Good.

Same reasoning as for All Night Long.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Okay Soda - them's fightin' words!

:saberfight:

[SweetHolly]

I cast my vote for Seven Bridges Road.

[DonFan]

Oh, well---Love Will Keep Us Alive is still hanging around and I am tired of voting for it so.......
I cast my vote for Learn to be Still.

[Maleah]

*gulp* :D :shock:

I...uh......I vote for The Girl From Yesterday

http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/konfus/c026.gif

[glenneaglesfan]

Nooo, not Seven Bridges Road or Life's Been Good...

I cast my vote for Please Come Home For Christmas, again!

This round is going to be very interesting.

[Mrs Frey]

*gulp* :D :shock:

I...uh......I vote for The Girl From Yesterday

http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/midi/konfus/c026.gif

:weep: Maleah, stop it now! :shock: :shock: Do you want to give me a heart attack? That's the song that got me crazy about Glenn :heart:! I'm going to have to join Soda in battle here! :armed: :wink:

I'm not going to vote yet - I admit that I haven't heard "Please Come Home For Christmas" and "Funky New Year" yet (thanks for the downloads, Soda!), but I'm too sentimental now, anyway. I had a listen to "All Night Long" last night, and it's not one of my favourites, so I can live with that one being voted off. I'm going to wait until the next round, and start sweating about my choices, but it's not going to be easy, and it's definitely not going to be "The Girl From Yesterday"!

[Glennsallnighter]

I Hear you Girlfriend....... I won't be voting for TGFY. Don't worry!... But I'm not yet sure what I will vote off!
Time for some more research methinks! :D

[Brooke]

Hmmmmmm. I've missed the first 2 rounds, but the ones voted off are ok with me.

Now, this round is quite interesting and I'm going to have to put these songs on and have a listen. I'm so glad I'm off work today and have all day to do important things! :wink:

But I have to tell you that PCHFC is one of my all time fave Christmas songs! :D

And girls, no fighting. Please! :fingerwag:

[EasyFeeling]

I cast my vote for Hole In The World, again.

[rcknalwys]

oh this is so hard! The Girl From Yesterday gets my vote this time.

[Sexy Girl]

Oh my, I almost fogot to vote ....

Now since I think it's too cheesy I cast my vote for Love Will Keep Us Alive.

[Brooke]

This is really a hard one. All the songs are good. But if cheese has to be involved, even with Tim's beautiful voice.......

I cast my vote for Love Will Keep Us Alive.

[Glennsallnighter]

I cast my vote for 'Lifes Been Good' also!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

OMG – what a round! We are all over the place, aren’t we? It seems a shame that a song could be eliminated with only 3 votes. I was going to vote for Hole in the World, but if I do that, there will be a four-way tie, and Love Will Keep Us Alive loses the tiebreaker, assuming things stay as they are right now. While admittedly, the lyrics to LWKUA aren’t terribly original, I still think it is a very good song. Tim’s beautiful voice and delivery, along with the great instrumentals, lift the song from the ranks of the ordinary for me. Like Brooke, Please Come Home for Christmas is one of my favorite Christmas songs - I think it is gorgeous. Therefore, it is with great regret that my vote will be for the country classic ….

I cast my vote for The Girl From Yesterday.

Now, Maleah, if you'll excuse me, I need to steal your emoticon!

Voting for Round 4 begins now.

[Freypower]

Poor TGFY!!!! Good grief! It is criminally underrated.

The rest of you please come to your senses and cast your vote for Love Will Keep Us Alive.

[sodascouts]

I can't believe GFY went before LWKUA!

But I refuse to be deterred.

I Cast my vote for Life's Been Good!

[SweetHolly]

I can't believe TGFY is gone. :cry:

I cast my vote for Love Will Keep Us Alive.

[EasyFeeling]

I never liked TYFY it's too much country for me so I can live with that. :wink:

I cast my vote for Hole In The World.

[Glennsallnighter]

I'm devastated! I know it was probably an unrealistic expectation but I really wanted TGFY to win, or at least do better. And I'm not the only one sorry about this. Watching Glenn :heart: sing it on HFO absolutely melts my heart away :inlove: :fainting: He puts such feeling into it.

I'm going to cast my vote for 'Life's Been Good' to go in round 4

[glenneaglesfan]

I can't believe TGFY has gone so soon, either. When I first heard it I wasn't too sure. Like you, EF, I thought it was a bit too country, but it has really grown on me, and the way Glenn sings it is beautiful. I like PCHFC, but those bells annoy me, so

I cast my vote for Please Come Home For Christmas

for the third time!!

[DonFan]

C'mon, LWKUA has GOT to go before Please Come Home for Christmas--it is a classic, and I LOVE that song!!

Once again, I cast my vote for Love Will Keep Us Alive.

[Brooke]

I'm with ya all the way, DF!

Please come to your senses! :wink:

I cast my vote for Love Will Keep Us Alive! Again!

Please go!

[rcknalwys]

I know this isn't going to be a popular choice, but my vote is for Learn to be Still.

[sodascouts]

Alert to Tim fans:

If you want LWKUA to remain in the game, vote for Life's Been Good!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Alert to Tim fans:

If you want LWKUA to remain in the game, vote for Hole in the World!

:D :twisted:

[sodascouts]

Except that LBG has two votes and HITW only has one! Don't try to trick trusting Tim fans, Dreamer!

[Maleah]

I cast my vote for Life's Been Good

[Glennsallnighter]

Don't tell me that the tactics are beginning already. I just rank the songs 1 - 10 or whatever, unless there's a song I just don't like and then vote one off! I'm too innocent for all this :wink:

[Maleah]

lol I have to admit, for the most part I don't use any tactics either. LBG just honestly gets a little old for me about halfway through...musically. I really enjoy watching the band interact with it on the dvd....but listening to it gets old after a while, imo. LWKUA on the other hand, is a very rare Tim song and he just sounds so sweet singing it that I do like it a lot. It's very relaxing and calming. So that's my tactic :D

[timfan]

I cast my vote for Life's Been Good

Ouch!! that hurt!! :twisted:

[Sexy Girl]

Sorry, I have to cast my vote for Love Will Keep Us Alive again. 8)

[Mrs Frey]

I'm devastated! I know it was probably an unrealistic expectation but I really wanted TGFY to win, or at least do better. And I'm not the only one sorry about this. Watching Glenn :heart: sing it on HFO absolutely melts my heart away :inlove: :fainting: He puts such feeling into it.

I'm going to cast my vote for 'Life's Been Good' to go in round 4

I'm in a state of disbelief that my favourite has been voted off :weep: :cry: :( :scowl:. I know a few of you feel the same way, but I've quoted GA as it's her favourite too. I'm with you all the way, Girlfriend - I completely lost my heart to Glenn :heart: when I first watched him sing this. Yes, he does put so much feeling into it - I think perhaps the word "passion" is closer to it.

I agree with you, FP - it is criminally underrated.

EF, I just wanted to say that I'm surprised you don't care for TGFY for its country flavour, being a Keith Urban fan - Keith is considered a country music artist, isn't he? :?

Now that I've got that off my chest, I'm still not going to vote yet. I still haven't had an opportunity to listen to "Please Come Home For Christmas" :( , but I'm pretty sure which song I'd like to win... :D

[EasyFeeling]

EF, I just wanted to say that I'm surprised you don't care for TGFY for its country flavour, being a Keith Urban fan - Keith is considered a country music artist, isn't he? :?

I replied to you in the Keith section, MF. :wink:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well - Last round I voted for The Girl from Yesterday, which understandably some of you disagreed with. I agree it is a gorgeous song. Just like I remarked that Tim's vocals and delivery are so gorgeous on LWKUA, Glenn's vocals and delivery are also gorgeous on TGFY. And yes, there is also the passion.The difference for me was that I'm not as fond of its country melody. I am sorry that LWKUA is probably going down this round, but I'm going to be sorry to see all of the songs voted off because I like them all.

I cast my vote for Hole in the World.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well, we have a tie this round. However, by virtue of the tiebreaker rule, the next song to be voted off the island in Non-Studio Album Songs Survivor is Love Will Keep Us Alive. “Love Will Keep Us Alive” there’s not enough love to keep you alive, so we are going to have to let you ride. Please leave immediately. The rest of the songs may return to camp.

[sodascouts]

OK, it almost went last time. Now it's really time for it to go.

I cast my vote for Life's Been Good.

[Maleah]

I cast my vote for Life's Been Good


(ps.....did we have Funk 49 on here? I don't remember and I'm too lazy to go look lol)

(ps again :lol: Nevermind...I forgot it was only on the Millenium stuff)

[Ive always been a dreamer]

No Maleah - Funk 49 was not included on the list. And I urge everyone to save Life's Been Good. The song ROCKS and it has great, clever lyrics - it is a true rock 'n' roll classic! Hole in the World showcases the guys beautiful harmonies, however, it is very repetitious.

[Maleah]

Hmmm can I change my vote? :lol:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I would love for you to change your vote Maleah, but it's against the rules. :(

[Maleah]

I know...I was just making sure you guys were paying attention ;) :D Seriously though, I forgot all about HITW......and while it's absolutely beautiful and I really like the verses...it IS very repetitive. LBG DOES have very clever and witty lyrics......that's what I like about a lot of Joe's songs.

[SweetHolly]

I cast my vote for Seven Bridges Road.

[DonFan]

SH, you want to vote off Seven Bridges Road? :shock: That is one of my all-time favorites! It is certainly better than Learn to Be Still, which is the next song I vote off.

I cast my vote for Learn to Be Still.

[SweetHolly]

I love Seven Bridges Road but it's time for it to go.

ducks and runs for cover

[Maleah]

Nah...no worries Holly....I'll stand in front of you and take the bullets ;) While I love the harmonies of SBR...........I love the lyrics of Learn to be Still.

[SweetHolly]

Thanks Maleah! I agree with you, I love the harmonies of SBR, I love the lyrics of LTBS better. :wink:

[EasyFeeling]

I love Learn To Be Still, it's one of my favourites so I hope it won't be voted off so fast.

Ok, again... I cast my vote for Hole In The World.

[Glennsallnighter]

I would love for you to change your vote Maleah, but it's against the rules. :(

Is it against the rules to delete the post in which you cast your vote and then resubmit a different post?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I would love for you to change your vote Maleah, but it's against the rules. :(

Is it against the rules to delete the post in which you cast your vote and then resubmit a different post?

GA - I am quoting a paragraph from the first page of the thread, which reads as follows:

"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."

Since no other conditions are specified, I interpret this as meaning that you cannot make any type of change once your vote is submitted. Of course, you can edit typos, etc. or edit, add, or delete discussion information, but you cannot change your actual vote.

[Maleah]

What if the song was a typo? ;) :lol: :lol: just kidding!!!!! Im fine with my vote!

[sodascouts]

Yes guys, you can't change your vote for reasons of principle. As you know, some people base their votes on what other people have voted for. If you change your vote which influenced another vote, and that person didn't see it in time to change theirs, it's unfair to them. So, rather than all of that trouble, simply give good thought to your vote before making it.

To put this in the clearest terms possible, leaving no room for alternate interpretation: changing one's vote under any circumstances is cheating.

[rcknalwys]

This is so hard, but one's got to go each round, so my vote is for Learn To Be Still....again.

[timfan]

I cast my vote for Learn to be Still

[Freypower]

It appears that my vote for LWKUA wasn't counted probably because I said something like 'come to your senses and vote for LWKUA'. I assumed it would be understood that I also voted for LWKUA. If my vote had been counted there would have been no tie.

I now wish to make it perfectly clear that I cast my vote for Please Come Home For Christmas, which NO WAY should have made it this far. Sorry, DF. As I said, I never took to the song.

[glenneaglesfan]

I agree, Fp. Seven Bridges Road is far to good to go yet.

I cast my vote for Please Come Home For Christmas

[Ive always been a dreamer]

lol - thanks FP. Sorry about the misunderstanding, but when I first read your post, I thought you were urging others to vote, but withholding your vote at the time. At the end, when you didn't vote, I realized that maybe you were actually voting in your post. However, then I realized that I needed to remain impartial, and shouldn't assume or try to determine anyone's intent. That's when I decided it would be better to just leave your vote out rather than to guess wrong. Fortunately, it didn't affect the outcome of the round.

Since there is a lot of discussion going on in the game, everyone please be sure to make it very clear when you are casting your vote so there is no ambiguity. To paraphrase Soda, "Put this in the clearest terms possible, leaving no room for alternate interpretation". :D

Understood! :) I hadn't actually voted myself anyway. I was just looking out for a loophole for Maleah to exploit if she wanted to.

Explicitely this round I cast my vote for
'Please Come Home for Christmas'

Well, we have a 3-way tie this round.

[timfan]

I cast my vote for Please come Home for Christmas. It is now DEFINATELY time for this song to leave.

[sodascouts]

Life's Been Good, people! Come on! It's a SOLO SONG!

I cast my vote for Life's Been Good!

[Maleah]

Well.......I am now quite comfortable in casting my vote for Life's Been Good

[Freypower]

Thank you for the clarification Dreamer. I can see now why that appeared unclear.

I cast my vote for Please Come Home For Christmas!

[Brooke]

Ok, now's the time. It's a cool song, but a solo song, so...

I cast my vote for Life's Been Good.

[DonFan]

I cast my vote for Learn To Be Still.

[EasyFeeling]

I don't care if Life's Been Good is a solo song, I love it! :D

I cast my vote for Please Come Home For Christmas.

[rcknalwys]

Again...Learn to to Be Still

[glenneaglesfan]

Please, now it's time to vote off

Please Come Home For Christmas

[Sexy Girl]

Not a bad song, but somehow it's the one from the list that I don't listen to very often, so

I cast my vote for Please Come Home For Christmas.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well - it looks like the beautiful PCHFC is about to go down. :cry: So ...

I cast my vote for Learn To Be Still.

[DonFan]

Well - it looks like the beautiful PCHFC is about to go down. :cry: So ...

Thanks for the support, dreamer!

[Glennsallnighter]

I've been dithering a bit over the last few days, but I'll cast my vote for 'Please come Home For Christmas'. I'm not ready for the festive season yet!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

The next song to be voted off the island in Non-Studio Album Songs Survivor is Please Come Home for Christmas. “Please Come Home for Christmas” there’s plenty of sorrow, grief, and pain, but you won’t be coming home again, so please leave immediately. The rest of the songs may return to camp.

[Freypower]

I'm really surprised that One Day At A Time is still here. We have more respect for it than the Eagles do. However it's time for me to cast my vote for One Day At A Time. I guess it is my least favourite of the remaining songs.

And I have a request. If anyone has converted this song to MP3 format could they email it to me. I only have it on the DVD and I don't know how to 'rip' the audio tracks.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well - it looks like the beautiful PCHFC is about to go down. :cry: So ...

I cast my vote for Learn To Be Still.

Thanks for the support, dreamer!

Always glad to help out. :wink: Now let's have more votes for Learn To Be Still.

BTW - Sorry I was a bit late posting the results tonight. I went out to dinner with some friends and just got home.

[SweetHolly]

I cast my vote for Life's Been Good.

[Maleah]

I cast my vote for Life's Been Good!

[sodascouts]

Right on, people! Life's Been Good needs to go!

I cast my vote for Life's Been Good!

[Glennsallnighter]

Yeah, I agree! I listened to it the other day and while its nice and catchy, its definitely not the best of whats left. I cast my vote for....'Lifes Been Good'

[Mrs Frey]

I cast my vote for "Life's Been Good". Sorry, Joe, no hard feelings now :blush:. I enjoy the song, but it's not my favourite of the remaining songs.

Dreamer, may I compliment you on the witty way you bid farewell to each song (and the same to you, Soda, when you do it). It's SO clever - it brings a smile to my face everytime (even when you bid farewell to TGFY! :weep: I'm sorry, I'm still not over that. I know what you're thinking: Get Over It! :lol: I was thinking that too, actually, but for different reasons... :wink: )

[EasyFeeling]

I have to go with FP and cast my vote for One Day At A Time.

FP, you've got mail. :wink:

[DonFan]

Well, I had no idea that Learn to be Still had so many supporters. Don sings it, it is a nice enough song, but nothing special IMHO.

The other songs have unique qualities that make them stand out for me:

PCHFC is the band's only Christmas song--I play it constantly through December and never tire of it; Life's Been Good is completely Joe, a unique and fun-loving tune that makes me smile every time I hear it played; ODAAT is also a personal song for Joe, a tribute to his hard-won battle for sobriety, and a song that I'm sure inspires others, so that makes it very special; Get Over It is another song I love, quintessential Don/Glenn collaborative rant sung to a driving beat with killer guitar work; and I have already written about the fact that Seven Bridges Road has a speical place in my heart for their exquisitely beautiful a cappella harmonies.

Now after all that, I do realize we do have to continue voting these songs off, but I wanted to post my thoughts about them.

I cast my vote once again for Learn to be Still.

[Brooke]

I've changed my mind on this one. I just love LBG. It's such fun and always makes me laugh, so....

I cast my vote for Learn to be Still. It's just kinda boring! :huh:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I hope it's not too late, but I urge those of you who want to save Life's Been Good to join with me to form a coalition now. The only chance we have to save it is to not split the vote between One Day at a Time and Learn To Be Still. Since Learn To Be Still has the most votes in the previous rounds I say vote for it. Therefore, emphatically ...

I cast my vote for Learn To Be Still.

C'mon everyone - we only need three more votes for Learn To Be Still to save the awesome Life's Been Good! :wink: :wink:

And BTW, Mrs. F. - Glad you like the rather cheesy send-offs for the songs. That was Soda's idea. :D

[sodascouts]

I see DF is very persuasive, but let me give it a shot!

Life's Been Good is an excellent song, and it makes me laugh too, but this is EAGLES Survivor. I included LBG more for technical reasons than anything else - TECHNICALLY, it has been released by the Eagles on their live album. However, in truth, it's a Joe solo song through-and-through. Having this go further would be like voting for All She Wants to Do Is Dance against Hotel California!

P.S. CHEESY, dreamer? hmmph! lol

[EasyFeeling]

Well, I had no idea that Learn to be Still had so many supporters.

It's one of my favourites and I don't get it why so many of you want to vote off that beautiful song. :headshake: :wink:

[glenneaglesfan]

Well, in a late bid to save Life's Been Good, which has been a staple of their live act since 1979 (and please correct me if I'm wrong), and because I love the way Joe changes the words to fit the situation.

I cast my vote for Learn To Be Still

[Freypower]

I have to go with FP and cast my vote for One Day At A Time.

FP, you've got mail. :wink:

Thank you EF.

I've always been very fond of LTBS but I can see why others may not like it that much. But I've already voted in this round...

[Sexy Girl]

I cast my vote for Learn to be Still.

Though I like the little snippet about forgetting the lyrics on the HFO DVD and on the Second Night audio the song itself got boring after a while, I have to agree to Brooke here.

[timfan]

I cast my vote for Learn to be Still

[sodascouts]

In the most hard-fought round so far, the next song to be voted off the island in Non-Studio Album Songs Survivor is Learn to Be Still. “Learn to Be Still,” hopefully your farewell won’t be too violent. Make your way out nice and quietly, but please leave immediately. The rest of the songs may return to camp.

Voting for Round 8 begins now.

[sodascouts]

OK, now, that's it, folks. I can see how LTBS got voted off because it can be a bit preachy, but we're down to the FINAL FOUR. There is NO WAY that Joe's solo song should be in the top three of an EAGLES Survivor. IT MUST GO NOW.

I cast my vote for Life's Been Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timfan]

I agree Soda... as sad as I am to see it go, it is now time for Joe's fun loving Life's Been Good to leave us!

Therefore I cast my vote for Life's Been Good

[SweetHolly]

I cast my vote for Life's Been Good.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yeah folks - Nice way to come together to save Life's Been Good in that last round. It's too bad because I really like Learn To Be Still a lot, but it's just not as good as LBG. Now, it's getting down to the wire and Joe has two songs remaining. While it is true that Life's Been Good was originally a solo song, I consider it an 'adopted' Eagles song. As has been mentioned, the guys have pretty much played it in all their live shows since the late 70's. Not only that, but it is a great song - a true classic. Now, I like One Day At a Time a lot, too - but, let's be real, there is no way it is a better song than LBG. At least LBG was recorded on the Eagles Live album. For some unknown reason, ODAAT apparently will not even appear on an Eagles album. So I say it's still not time for Life's Been Good to go. Let's keep it around a little longer. :D :D

[Maleah]

Nice speech dreamer......:D.......but I still cast my vote for Life's Been Good

It would definently deserve to go further in a Joe Walsh survivor............but not in an Eagles survivor :D

[EasyFeeling]

I would have loved to see LTBS as the winner. :weep:

I cast my vote for One Day At A Time.

[Glennsallnighter]

Yes I agree too and will also cast my vote for 'Lifes Been Good'

[Mrs Frey]

Regrettably, I will vote for "Life's Been Good" again.

It's a pity that "Learn To Be Still" had to go - it's really grown on me :( .

[Sexy Girl]

Sorry Joe, but with that hard choice I have to do it:

I cast my vote for Life's Been Good.

[Mrs Frey]

P.S. CHEESY, dreamer? hmmph! lol

LOL, Soda! :lol:

[Brooke]

I'm agreeing with Dreamer here. I know, no big surprise there. It seems we agree on lots of things here! LBG is just too good to go before ODAAT.

I cast my vote for One Day at a Time.

Come on guys: Vote off ODAAT next!

[glenneaglesfan]

I'm with you and dreamer, Brooke! Even though it;s a good song, it's not going to appear on an album.

I cast my vote for One Day At A Time

[timfan]

The battle of the JOE songs!!! :D :P

[DonFan]

I agree with Dreamer's persuasive argument above.

I cast my vote for One Day at a Time.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Oh wow - nice rally to try to save Life's Been Good again. But we still need a few more votes. I guess we'll have to pull them out of the woodwork. :twisted:

ATTENTION ALL BORDERS MEMBERS - HEAR MY PLEA!!!

Please come vote for One Day at a Time if you have not already done so. Remember, it doesn't matter if haven't voted in any of the previous rounds - you can still vote. Life's Been Good is in desperate need of your help. It is time to get involved and save this awesome song by voting for One Day at a Time before 8:00 p.m. EST on Saturday! :D

[Maleah]

tsk tsk tsk....that's so sad that you guys are willing to throw Joe's "recovery" song to the side like that :D I'm one who happens to think that ODAAT is an excellent song and it means even more knowing what Joe's been through :)

[sodascouts]

Me too, Maleah. Not to mention the great EAGLES harmonies on ODAAT since it's an TRUE EAGLES song and all. ;)

I don't get why this isn't on the new album along with all the others. I guess if Joe was destined to only have two, then it's good to have two new ones... but they could have at least put it on the Bonus CD.

FP, I sent you a copy of this song in MP3 form months ago. I remember specifically doing it because I had to upload it twice. Did you never get it?

[Maleah]

I hear ya Soda! And completely agree by the way ;) I don't understand the logic behind not putting it on an album myself. In fact, NMCD and DS are going to be on two recordings now......yet ODAAT can't even make it on one? lol strange

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well - I guess my desperate plea was all in vain. I looks like Life's Been Good cannot be saved. I actually love One Day at a Time too, but I just don't think it is as good as LBG. Of course, this is all speculation on my part, but I believe that the decision not to include it on the Eagles album must have been Joe's. Maybe he felt it was too personal, or maybe he just decided if he was going to only have two songs then he would chose Guilty of the Crime and Last Good Time in Town. In any event, it does seem a shame that it won't appear on the album. Well, since I am unable to save Life's Been Good, I don't need to vote for ODAAT. Therefore, I guess I'll go ahead and deploy some more strategy...

I cast my vote for Get Over It.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

The next song to be voted off the island in Non-Studio Album Songs Survivor is Life’s Been Good. “Life’s Been Good”, it’s hard to leave when you can’t find the door, but your time has come. So be cool, find the door, and please leave immediately. The rest of the songs may return to camp.

[sodascouts]

Woot! Finally!

OK, guys, I think it's fairly clear what the weakest song is that's left. Despite the fact that I think Joe is a very strong and admirable person for writing this song, and I find it pleasant and catchy, I'll have to go with it.

I cast my vote for One Day at a Time.

[Maleah]

Great minds think alike Soda! ;)

I now cast my vote for One Day At A Time

[SweetHolly]

I Cast my vote for One Day At A Time.

[timfan]

I cast my vote for One Day At A Time.

[Freypower]

I've just realised I didn't vote in the previous round. OOPS.

Soda, no, I never got your MP3 of ODAAT, I'm afraid. EF has very kindly sent it to me.

I CAST MY VOTE FOR ONE DAY AT A TIME.

[glenneaglesfan]

Well, we couldn't save Life's Been Good, and it looks as though ODAAT may be leaving next, so

I cast my vote for Get Over It

[EasyFeeling]

I cast my vote for One Day At A Time.

[Brooke]

:shock: OMG! Gef, how can you vote against Don and Glenn's most rockin' composition in the last how many years?! :twisted:

I think ODAAT will surely go next. Great song by Joe, but the weakest of the 3.

So, although I think Seven Bridges Road is absolutely beautiful with those perfect Eagles harmonies, it wasn't written by the Eagles. So, I'm going to have to counter gef's vote and vote for it.

SAVE DON AND GLENN'S "GET OVER IT" FOR THE WIN!
PLEASE!

I cast my vote for Seven Bridges Road.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I'm agreeing with Dreamer here. I know, no big surprise there. It seems we agree on lots of things here!

Oh man! What happened to my twin named Brooke! You are right - we agree on many things when it comes to the Eagles, but this time NO WAY! :wink: I want One Day at a Time to be voted off this round, and it looks like it will be even without my vote. Therefore, I am going to vote strategically for the final round. My favorite to win has been eliminated so I will try to protect my second choice. I love the rockin' Get Over It, but I think Seven Bridges Road is much better and deserves to win the game. Therefore ...

I cast my vote for Get Over It.

[sodascouts]

Looks like it's going to be down to the wire here folks! I have no idea what's gonig to win. SBR has more votes in the past but it looks like GOI may be catching up now that it's clear ODAAT will go. But then again, if enough people vote strategically, perhaps GOI or SBR will go! Wouldn't that be wild (although admittedly unlikely at this point)?!

Fascinating! I still haven't decided which one I want to win. I enjoy SBR road's exquisite harmonies and love listening to it, but GOI is a Frey/Henley composition and is totally rockin'. Hmm!!!

[DonFan]

I read everyone's arguments, but I usually go with straightforward voting so....

I cast my vote for One Day at a Time.

[Brooke]

I'm agreeing with Dreamer here. I know, no big surprise there. It seems we agree on lots of things here!

I love the rockin' Get Over It, but I think Seven Bridges Road is much better and deserves to win the game. Therefore ...

I cast my vote for Get Over It.

:shock: But....but....they didn't even write it (7BR)! Surely the winning song should have been written by the band?! When it comes down to the winning song? :hmm: :nope:

:armed:

[Mrs Frey]

Phew! There's been a lot of activity here over the weekend while I've been gone! And some interesting votes! :shock: :shock:

I cast my vote for "One Day At A Time". Sorry, Joe, my friend, but those other two songs are just too strong.

DO NOT VOTE FOR "GET OVER IT"!

please...

[Glennsallnighter]

I alsol love ODAAT as a song, but I do feel that is should be an Eagles song rather than an individual's one that should win an 'Eagles' song survivor. (I know MF! You'll make me eat my words sometime when there's Glenn :heart: solo in the running to win :wink: )Therefore with regret Joe

I cast my vote for 'One Day at a Time' to leave.

[Sexy Girl]

This is getting tough .... 8)

Anyway, I think I made my choices, so for now
I cast my vote for One Day at a Time
cause it's least Eagles for me, rather personal Joe (sorry Joe, please note I still like that song :wink: ).

[Freypower]

I don't want to be pedantic but ODAAT is an Eagles song. It hasn't been officially recorded but it is as much an Eagles song as the others here.

[sodascouts]

In our most decisive round yet, the next song to be voted off the island in Non-Studio Album Songs Survivor is One Day at a Time. “One Day at a Time,” it’s time to leave the scene of the crime. Please leave immediately. The two final songs, please step forward for the final round.

Alright! We’re at the last round. This round is special, so it’s done differently. We’re not going to vote for the song we want to go. We’re going to vote for the song we want to win. This is how they do it on the real show, after all. Once again...

Vote for the song you want to win.

Voting for the final round begins now!

[Freypower]

While I love Seven Bridges Road the band didn't write it.

Get Over It MUST win this game. The song is an exhilarating return to form for the Henley-Frey team with some of their most incisive lyrics and music (three blistering guitar solos) and the way Glenn & Don sing the title together. I think it's tragic the way it has been discarded.

[timfan]

I absoultely ADORE the harmonies on Seven Bridges Road. Whether the guys wrote it or not it is a spectular song that the Eagles perform to perfection.

Therefore I cast my vote for Seven Bridges Road for the WIN!!!!

[DonFan]

I am completely torn.
I adore the harmonies on Seven Bridges Road. I love that song.
I also adore Get Over It. It marked a return to great Glenn & Don collaborations and I love Don's vocals.

I guess I'm not quite ready to vote yet.

[sodascouts]

I'm with you, DF. I'll have to give it some more thought.

[Maleah]

I have to agree with FP!

I cast my vote for GET OVER IT for the win!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[Glennsallnighter]

While I too love the harmonies in Seven Bridges Road, I still feel that 'Get Over It' is an excellent and totally underrated Eagles song. Its also very symbolic in being aired at the HFO concert.
After much deliberation I vote for
Get Over It
to win

[Sexy Girl]

Since I already made up my mind when it came to the last three there's no delay here ...

I absolutely want GET OVER IT to win!!!

I never get tired of that HFO performance, be it on the DVD or on that Second Night audio. Love Glenn's intro and solo to bits.

[DonFan]

All right, after much deliberation, Get Over It has the edge because it was written by the guys.

I vote for Get Over It to win!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I don't have to think about this one either. But I feel just a emphatically about Seven Bridges Road. Even though they didn't write the song, it has Eagles written all over it. I can't think of any group that could do the song more justice. It showcases the guys vocal talents in a way that make you just say a great big WOW! Get Over It is a very good song, I love it, and it does have a lot of historical significance. But it just doesn't speak to me in the same way Seven Bridges Road does. I've said before in the Survivor games that when all things are equal, I will usually vote for the songs that rock the most. But, in this case, all things are not equal, so ...

I cast my vote for Seven Bridges Road.

Vote for Seven Bridges Road to Win!!!!

[Brooke]

While I love Seven Bridges Road the band didn't write it.

Get Over It MUST win this game. The song is an exhilarating return to form for the Henley-Frey team with some of their most incisive lyrics and music (three blistering guitar solos) and the way Glenn & Don sing the title together. I think it's tragic the way it has been discarded.

All of these comments surely make the case and I agree wholeheartedly! :nod:

And Don's performance on HFO is fabulous and sooooo cute! :smitten:

I vote for Get Over It to win! It's awesome and I soooo wish they would do it in concert! :band:

[EasyFeeling]

I know as a fan of the band it probably is a bit shallow but to be honest I don't pay particular attention to if it's written by the band or not as long as they sing it. 8) My favourite song is gone so I had to chose another one.

I vote for Get Over It!

[glenneaglesfan]

I love Get Over It. It's a great song and would be a deserving winner. I know Seven Bridges Road isn't a true Eagles song, but hearing the opening notes gives me the chills, and I'm listening to Live in my car at the moment. Those harmonies are spot on, and the true Eagles sound.

Seven Bridges Road for the win!!!

[Mrs Frey]

Phew! I made it in time! After a day off the Board (and getting withdrawal symptoms), I am finally casting my vote. It's a tough choice, as I LOVE both songs very much. The harmonies in "Seven Bridges Road" are stunning, and it's a lovely song, but in the end, I can hardly get enough of the remaining song, so I vote for (drum roll):

GET OVER IT FOR THE WIN!!!

The lyrics of this song, Don's great vocal, as well as the three blistering guitar solos (especially Glenn's :heart: bluesy intro, rhythm guitar and brilliant solo - oh, how I love it when he performs this in HFO! :smitten:) just get to me everytime I listen to it. "Wow" is about all I can say about this song.

[rcknalwys]

I know I'm late weighing in and I can't add anything else to what's already been said, but I love Seven Bridges Road, so that's my vote and I'm sticking to it! A very tough round....but SBR has classic harmonies that showcase their beautiful voices, is instantly recognizable as an Eagles song and is still a show stopper. While it isn't an Eagles-written song, it's execution is vocal perfection. Don't get me wrong, I love Get Over It, but for the vocals alone, gotta go with SBR.

[SweetHolly]

I've missed some voting cause of computer problems. :evil: :cry:

I cast my vote for Get Over It for the win.

[sodascouts]

Well, I've been torn and I'll be happy with either winner. It looks like GOI's gonna win, so I'll vote for the underdog... simply because of the fact that other than being a beautiful song, all of the Eagles sing "lead" on it.

I cast my vote for Seven Bridges Road.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Now for the final results! Well, you can wear it like a crown cause it looks like you brought everybody down – with 9 votes, the winner of Non-Studio Album Songs Survivor is..…

YAY! I can do a couple of screen shots of this wonderful song.

Solo albums next anyone? :D

It's naughty to post this I guess but, in celebration....

Congratulations to Get Over It!!

Soda, that was great. I'd downloaded it before but hadn't had a chance to watch it. Three very talented lead guitarists in that band!

Funny FP, particularly during this survivor I had been thinking that I'd love to do one of Glenn :heart: 's solo albums. I'm definitely on for any solo album anyway :D

[EasyFeeling]

Congratulations to Get Over it!

I'll watch the clip at home, thanks Soda. Can't do it here at work. :roll:

Edited to add: Of course I don't have all solo albums but I would love to do one. :D

[Freypower]

It's just occurred to me that before we do the solo albums we were going to do a 'Survivor Winner' featuring the songs that have won the games so far. I'll leave it up to Soda to decide when she wants to start it.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

First of all - congratulations to Get Over It. I have to admit, I didn't realize that the song had so many ardent fans here. This was a really fun, unpredictable game. When the game first began, I had no idea what song would win, but I truly would have never guessed that it would be Get Over It. Oh well, shows what I know! :shock:

As far as the next Survivor Game, don't we have a new album coming out in a few weeks. :wink: :wink: As far as doing solo material, I'm wondering if some of our members are familiar enough with the solo works to get good participation. And then how would we determine which one(s) to do? Maybe we can start another thread a little later to get some discussion, feedback, and ideas from our members about what they'd like to do in the future. :idea:

[Freypower]

I thought we could do all Glenn's albums in order followed by Don's. Or if none of us have all four of each we could have a poll on which one we want to do.

I really don't think we can do a LROOE Survivor until we've become familiar with it. Maybe early next year would be a good time. By then we will hopefully have got to know it reasonably well.

Just my opinion.

[Maleah]

I'm always up for another game! I have to be honest though, when it comes to solo album I'd probably half to sit out most of it until it came down to the songs I knew. I'm obviously familiar with Don's solo stuff........but none of the rest of the guys. I'm familiar with most of their big songs, but not the rest....unfortunately.

This game was a lot of fun though! I can't wait to have one for LROOE!!!!

No I think thats a very good idea FP. It would be a pity to rush the LROOE survivor. I for one would like to be able to analyse it properly myself first. Again JMO!

[Sexy Girl]

Why not do a game for LROOE right off the bat so we see people's first impressions. And then do it all over again after 6 months or so.
It would be interesting to see how people change their opinions about the songs.

Regarding the solo albums: I would rather do one by Glenn, then one by Don, by Joe, by Timmie, then start with Glenn again. So the entire fan base here could take part. All Glenn albums in a row could get a bit boring for those who don't own his complete catalog.

[Glennsallnighter]

Yes I tend to agree with SG. I wouldn't have any of Joe or Tim's albums and only have a few of Dons. By rotating it we give each fan base a chance.

[Mrs Frey]

Woo hoo hoo! Congratulations to "Get Over It" for winning. I just love that song!!

I would only be able to take part in a Song Survivor for Glenn's :heart: albums, as I've only just begun to get his albums together, and I'm still struggling to get them all :roll:.

I've never seen any of Tim or Joe's albums locally, and only one of Don :( . Ordering them takes forever.

As for LROOE, I think I would also need time after first obtaining the album to decide which songs I am more partial to.

I totally agree - a first impressions LROOE survivor would be very interesting, followed up later by another game to see if our first impressions change.

I think I'll start another thread for people to voice their opinions and ideas for other Survivor games. :D

Congrats to Get Over It!

I would love to do either a LROOE or solo survivor game.
