Eagles Album Survivor

[sodascouts]

Time a new Survivor! This one is Eagles Album Survivor. If you're new, for a basic overview of the game, see this post: Survivor Overview

I'm going to list the albums of the Eagles here (except for the Greatest Hits packages). Vote for the album that you feel should be eliminated from the list. The album 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 album 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.

The tie-breaker question will be asked one hour after results are in, if there is need for it. The exception is the last round. If the tie-breaker does not resolve the last round, then the tie will be allowed to stand.

For this Survivor, we also have immunity questions. We won't have immunity questions on the first or second-to-last-rounds, and of course we won't have them for the last round, lol. However, for the other rounds, we will.

Here's how immunity questions work. After the beginning of the round, I ask a question related to one of the Eagles albums. The first person who answers the question correctly gets to pick a remaining album to be immune - no one can vote for it on the next round. I'll allow two hours for someone to answer. If no one gets it right by then, then we continue the round as normal without any album being immune. You only get one guess per round, so be careful!


We have finished the game. Thanks for playing!

Game Over!

[sodascouts]

I'm gonna say Hell Freezes Over. It's a landmark album in that they'd gotten together again after so long, and it's great, but the new material isn't as strong as some other albums, and the rest is live rehash.

I cast my vote for Hell Freezes Over.

[Freypower]

I love these games!

I agree with you Soda. I cast my vote for Hell Freezes Over.

[MikeA]

Okay, I'll go along with Hell Freezes Over, though it is mostly a "live" Greatest Hits. As such, I think that it is the least original....though I did like the acoustic version of Hotel California.

Still, my vote definitely goes for HFO for the first round.

[Glennsallnighter]

This is going to be so hard! Particularly as we get on to the later rounds

[EagleLady]

I will go for HFO as well

[ticky]

Tsk tsk tsk , *shaking head* cant do it.. I just cant do it... It doesnt matter too much since my vote in this game is usually the mark of death for whatever Im trying to save.. but in this case, I love HFO and I just cant let it go yet.


so, Im voting for Long Road out of Eden I love this collection, but among those to choose from here.. It is, in my opinion, the weakest.

LROE

[GlennLover]

I have to go with HFO as well.

[AzEaglesFan]

Since most if not all of the songs are covered on other albumns I'll go HFO too.
