Eagles Song Survivor: Former Eagles Songs
Time for the Former Eagles Song Survivor, where we vote off the each former Eagles' songs until we get to the last one standing!
If you're new, for a basic overview of the game, see this post: Survivor Overview
I'm going to list all of the former Eagles songs in the competition 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 think should GO, not the one you think should 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 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. Once the board clock strikes 8:00 pm Eastern on the second day, no more votes will be counted for that round - even if it's only seconds after. Your votes also cannot be changed once you have voted, even if you change your mind or make a mistake. Once it's on the record, that's it - so be careful!
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 tie-breaker question will be asked one hour after results are in, if there is need for it. 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. The exception is the last round. If the tiebreaker does not resolve the last round, then the tie will be allowed to stand.
In order to avoid voter fraud and trolling, we require that you must be "a member in good standing" as defined by the Terms of Service for at least two weeks before the start of the game in order to cast a vote.
GAME OVER!

I’m voting for Visions too. I always skip this song when I listen to One of These Nights.

Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Former Eagles Songs
I would like to make a case to save Visions for a few more rounds. I am one that rather likes the song, especially the music and melody. I don’t think it is up there with the band’s best work by any means, but I do think it is stronger than several other songs in this game. IMO, one of the weakest songs in the band’s catalog is Earlybird. The chirping just grates on me. So ...
I cast my vote for Earlybird.

Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Former Eagles Songs
Visions is not one of my favorites but I do like it.
My vote goes to I Wish You Peace.
Sorry Bernie. Those doorbell chimes -ugh!

Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Former Eagles Songs
I vote for Visions. Skipper for sure.

Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Former Eagles Songs
As Glenn once said, for all of his talents as a guitar player, Felder isn't a singer. Nor a good lyricist IMO (solo music). VOL is one of my favorites, so I'm glad GF and DH stuck to their guns and had Henley sing that one.
Some of the other songs here aren't much better, admittedly, but I cannot stomach Don Felder trying to sing... :lol:

Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Former Eagles Songs
Looking at that list, I'm amazed by how much I like many of the songs. This game is going to get hard very soon so for this round, I'm choosing the easy option.
I vote for Visions.

Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Results of Round 1
The first song to be eliminated from the Former Eagles Song Survivor is Visions. “Visions", the tribe has spoken and you can’t have it all, so we hope just a taste will do for you. You didn’t give whatever it takes to win this game. So now, you need to take a ride to get from where you are. Please leave the island so you can go ahead and live all your fantasies.

Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Former Eagles Songs
I have to say I agree with Dreamers comments on "Early Bird". I also always thought the chirping birds were crazy to add to the song. So, I vote for Early Bird.
-
Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Former Eagles Songs
-
Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Former Eagles Songs
I also vote for Early Bird. I don't like the chirping birds either!
-
Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Former Eagles Songs
Although I don't like the birds either, i like the rest of the song. This is hard but I'm voting for I Wish You Peace.
For me, although it has a nice sentiment, I'm not drawn to it and it's kind of just there. Sorry.

Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Former Eagles Songs
Train Leaves Here This Morning
Idon't have a good reason and there were about three other songs I considered voting for.
Also, my favourite Bernie song is Bitter Creek and I hope it survives for a long while.
-
Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Former Eagles Songs
I’m with KingWalsh. While “Earlybird” could have a lot less chirping, I do like the rest of the song. It has a nice laid-back breezy feeling, plus the lyrics are interesting and have a heedful quality.
My vote goes to I Wish You Peace.
-
Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Former Eagles Songs
Well it looks like Earlybird is going down this round. It is definitely what I was hoping. But, since it doesn't need my vote, I'm going to vote for my next least favorite. This one doesn't do much for me and IMO is Randy's weakest vocal of all his Eagles' songs ...
I cast my vote for Take the Devil.

Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Results of Round 2
The next song to be eliminated from the Former Eagles Song Survivor is Earlybird. “Earlybird, you thought that all was going well, but the tribe knew that the going was getting tough. Now, don’t spend your days denyin' because you need to make some time for flyin' in the breeze. It’s time for you to leave the island, so please fade away.

Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Former Eagles Songs
I am so glad to be back on the board and able to have a little fun again.
I cast my vote for Take the Devil.
Definitely not his best work.

I agree with Soda - not Randy's best song.

Not sad that Earlybird went down last round! That bird!! If it wouldn't have been for that, it's not a bad song!
I vote for Take the Devil, too.

Hi Soda 🙋
I am sticking with and casting my vote for I Wish You Peace....for same reasons as before.
-
Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Former Eagles Songs
I'm voting for Bitter Creek again.
-
Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Former Eagles Songs
I really like Take the Devil. It has a similar atmosphere to Witchy Woman and Randy's vocal range is impressive. I also love Bitter Creek with its sparse guitar and long outro.
To protect these two, I vote for I Wish You Peace.

Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Former Eagles Songs
NKIT, I think you can only vote once per round. :mrgreen:
I love Take the Devil - the lyrics, the eerie desert vibe, Randy’s vocal performance. I agree with UtW about Witchy Woman. There is a thematic connection between the two songs.
My vote goes to I Wish You Peace.
-
Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Former Eagles Songs
Yep - only one vote allowed per member per round! :nod:
I don't think Take the Devil is awful, but I do think it is the weakest song left in the game. Besides Randy has quite a few more songs in this game than Bernie, so I don't want to see all of Bernie's songs eliminated so quickly. I was actually going to vote for Tryin', which is next on my list, but this round is too close so ...
I cast my vote for Take the Devil.
