Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Hotel California
"Pretty Maids All in a Row" is a beautiful song that really moves me. I'm so not ready for it to go this early. It has really poignant lyrics. Plus, the harmonies are gorgeous.
Now "Try and Love Again" is a great song - as are they all - but I've always felt "Try and Love Again" got terribly repetitive at the end. I mean it's just ridiculous.
SAVE PRETTY MAIDS ALL IN A ROW!
VOTE FOR TRY AND LOVE AGAIN!
I cast my vote for Try and Love Again.

Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Hotel California
I’m sorry but I cannot stand to see to see try and love again taken out so soon. I like PMAIAR a lot but I love TALA. I vote Pretty maids all in a row
Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Hotel California
I love Try and Love Again too and dont want to see it go just yet. So I'll vote for Pretty Maids All in A Row
Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Hotel California
Try and Love Again. Probably Randy's most complete song with the band but that ending...
I would hate for PMAIAR to go so early, easily the most emotional and vulnerable song on the album, written and sung by the man brought in to make them a hard rock act.
Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Hotel California
Well I will join, Soda. I like PMAIAR better than TALG. So I'm voting for Try and Love Again.
Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Hotel California
I love Try and Love Again and, TBH, I don't quite understand the issue with its repetitive ending. There are several great Eagles' songs that have repetitive endings similar to this - most notably the Doolin-Dalton/Desperado Reprise and Take It to the Limit. I think the endings of all these songs are very effective. In the case of Try and Love Again, after all, he does want to give love another try again, and again, and again, and again ... because love is something you should never give up on. If you want an example of a song with a repetitive ending that is totally ineffective and annoying, look no farther than Funky New Year.
Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Hotel California
Yes I think TALA is quite an underrated song of the Eagles. I suppose they just have so many really good songs that the ones that were'nt nig hits tend to get overlooked.
So this round I'll stick with Pretty Maids all in a row.
Re: Eagles Song Survivor: Hotel California
Have to say I agree with Dreamer about TALA! I really love that song!
So, as much as I like Pretty Maids All in a Row, it gets my vote this time.

While I see your point, if your illustration is that it's better than Funky New Year - that's a pretty low bar, my friend!
