Try And Love Again
While I'm a bit bored of TITTL, TALA is an underrated song and I love it. I think it's worthy of the win, although I'm not holding much hope!
Take It To The Limit, for the win.
Try And Love Again for the win ! Austin, I agree, this is probably the most unrated song on the HC album. I love the song - Randy at his best !
Kicking myself for missing the last round! I couldn't decide and was going to vote yesterday, but got so busy at work I forgot entirely!
I vote for Take It to the Limit for the win. I love TALA, but TITTL is such a classic.
I'm voting for Try and Love Again for the win. I really was never a fan of both songs, but if I could choose which song I would play over and over again, I would choose Try and Love Again. Try and Love Again has really grown on me.
I missed the last round, too, though my vote would not have made a difference.
I adore TALA- the vocals, the guitars, the solo, just everything about it. But TITTL is truly a standout track in the Eagles catalog, with inspirational lyrics that are well-known and often quoted. Keith Urban can break out into the song in concert, and everyone in the audience will sing along. The title itself has pretty much become a part of contemporary lexicon, just like “Life in the Fast Lane.” How many song titles out there have led to movies adopting the same?
And the vocals- wow. This is not an easy song to sing, even without the high notes at the end, but Randy pulls it off.
Even though I love both songs, I choose the one that has become a classic.
Take It To the Limit for the win!! :rockon:
I have to agree with Delilah. I love Try and Love Again - I agree that it is underrated and am glad it made it to the final round. BUT. IMO, it's no contest about which is the better song all around - vocals, music, harmony, melody, lyrics, arrangement and anything else you can throw in. For me, without question, Randy at his absolute best is ...
TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT
FOR THE WIN!!!
I vote for Take It To The Limit for the win. I love TALA as well, I wish there were more versions of it out there. I would like to hear what Vince did with it, and what kind of reception the song got when it was first sung at the recent Hotel California concert(s).
I think that had Randy not left the band, TALA would have become a staple of 1970's radio play today.
I remember hearing TITTL the first time in Junior High in the lunch room, thinking it sounded "Eagleish" but I did not recognize the singer. It became one of my instant 1970's favorites. I think it ranks as legendary along with OOTN and Hotel California.
Hi Derk! I went to Msg 2/15. Vince did a fine job on TALA. The crowd was very energetic throughout and sang along for every song. It was great.The song got heavy praise in my opinion.
I love both songs....but vote Take it to the Limit
for the win. Watching Capitol 77 as we speak.
I feel that Glenn's guitar solo on TALA is up there with the best he's ever done. Glenn was a very underrated guitar player, and I wish he'd get more props for it and get proper credit on things he played vs Felder.
The two note slides he does in this are a great display of his knowledge of soul guitar. Those fills popularized by the likes of Bobby Womack, Cornell Dupree, Reggie Young, Curtis Mayfield, Steve Cropper, etc went on to inspire Hendrix, and certainly Glenn being from Detroit, Michigan certainly knew a thing or 10 about RNB and soul music. You had Stax, American Sound, Muscle Shoals, and of course - Motown.
TALA is my favorite Randy song by a long shot.
I vote for "Take It To The Limit" for the win.
This song was a stunner performed live. In concert, all Eagles hits were cheered for when the first recognizable chords were played and again when the song ended. Of course we all stood, danced and clapped along to TIE and other favorites, but the response to TITTL was other worldly. The applause built during the song and thundered for a long time afterwards. I think that we were not only applauding a hit song, but Randy's amazing performance. TITTL was never my favorite Eagles song, but it remains the best live performance I've ever seen.
I Love Try and Love Again, think it would have been a hit under better circumstances. Very underrated beautiful song.
LGG - I'm not clear if your post is intended as a vote or just a comment. Sorry, but I won't be able to count it as a vote unless you clarify. When commenting about songs, you must explicitly indicate if you are casting a vote so the moderator is not in a position of having to guess.
I love TALA, but Take It To the Limit is epic.
TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT FOR THE WIN!!!
Well, this was the showdown between the best of the best. One of the songs will take it to the limit and the other will just have to try to get some love again. The winner of the Former Eagles Song Survivor is ...

Again, thanks for playing everyone and hope you enjoyed the game.
Yeah LGG - fortunately there was no impact on the final outcome of the round. And hope you feel better soon - I had bronchitis and it took me almost 2 months to completely get rid of it! :yuck:
And finally ...
CONGRATS TO TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT FOR THE WIN!
Although Try and Love Again was a worthy opponent, it was a tall order to beat the one of the band's biggest hits.
Dreamer - Thank You for running this contest. They are always fun and interesting to hear why someone chose a particular song.
TITTL is a worthy winner - Randy at his finest ! Thanks again.
Ya Dreamer, way to go, you challenge is to make some hard decisions. TITTL is fantastic, showcases Randy so well. Can't wait to see what the next competition will be. 8)
These games always present a challenge. This one was tough for me because a lot of these songs were on the same level to me. It's always fun!
I want to belatedly thank Dreamer for running this game. I'm only sorry some "real world" stuff I won't go into has made it difficult for me to participate like I want to. Regardless, my fave TITTL took its deserved spot at the top!!
Soda, I knew you were busy to not vote for "your" song! I hope the "real world" gives you a break soon!
I also would like to thank Dreamer. Although I didn't participate, the games are always a fun read!
Thanks again, everyone for the kind remarks.
