LONG ROAD OUT OF EDEN for the WIN!!!!!

[Peekaboo]

As much as I LOVE LROOE, I've gotta vote for Hotel California for the win. It's a classic, pure classic.

Long Road Out of Eden for the win!!

Long Road Out of Eden for the win! As much as I love Hotel California, I love hearing Glenn sing so many more songs on LROOE, and I first saw them on the LROOE tour, so that's it for me!

Oh good, I have been absent so much lately from the Border, I was afraid I was a day too late for the finale. I cast my vote for LROOE for the win! There are just so many great songs on it, and with that album coming out at the time in my life when it did, those songs just strike a chord in me that really hits home.

Looks like it's going to be very close, but IMO LROOE has come a long way and it so richly deserves to win if it happens to.

I don't know. I've admitted before that LROE doesn't "do it" for me, but I'm just one Fan out of millions.

What I do believe is that there is nothing on LROE that is monumental enough at this stage of the careers of Eagles that would catapult it into a position as being a "Standard" to which all other Eagles (and other artists works for that matter) will be judged. "Hotel California" HAS already demonstrated "Survival" characteristics. Goodness, It's been a best seller now for 30+ years and made millions for each of the Eagles! It didn't do that on "marketing genius."

Only time will tell if LROE has that kind of Immortal status. It just hasn't had that "time" yet nor did it achieved with any one track on the recording that which most of the tracks on HC achieved. Certainly nothing on LROE compares to the title track of HC.

But, in THIS "contest" the purpose is to indicate what members of The Border consider the best Survivor out of the Eagles catalog. From that standpoint, the results will certainly be interesting!

Ditto Mike!

I most certainly agree with everything you said there Mike.

There are several songs off of LROOE that I really love and think that Waiting In The Weeds and LROOE could possibly be some of their best writing. And really, if they are never released as singles like the songs on HC, how can they achieve the 'glory' that the songs on HC did? The casual fans that happened to buy the album will like them, but that's as far as it will go if they don't get the public airplay. To me, a masterpiece has to have worldwide success and appeal.

That's another reason HOTEL CALIFORNIA should win this game. Time made it what it is.
