    Default Celebration of "One of These Nights"!

    34 years ago today, One of These Nights was released.

    It's easy for me to identify what I love most about this album: Take It to the Limit. A masterpiece that is my favorite Eagles song from any album - and that's just one of many gems.

    I'll write more when I have more time.... there's certainly more to say!

    I happen to have the OOTN board style at the moment, which is convenient.

    But OOTN is my least favourite Eagles album. Take away the Big Three songs and there isn't that much else that I can classify as favourites.

    I will do a summary but I will make it brief.

    One Of These Nights - still a classic. Great song.
    Too Many Hands - very underrated with good lyrics and guitar work.
    Hollywood Waltz - in my opinion far too slow and similar to Saturday Night, but lyrically foreshadows the next album.
    Journey Of The Sorcerer - OK, it's different. I give it credit for that but I can't say I'm very fond of it.
    Lyin' Eyes - what else needs to be said about this total masterpiece (yes, I'm biased here. I loved the song from the minute I heard it and I will never tire of it).
    Take It To The Limit - another classic.
    After The Thrill Is Gone - I know a lot of people love this. I'm afraid it has never been a favourite.
    Visions - Felder's only lead vocal has nice moments but it is a throwaway.
    I Wish You Peace - ahem. My least favourite Eagles song.

    I love the whole album, but especially my favorite songs are One of this Nights, Lyin 'Eyes, Take It To The Limit and After The Thrill Is Gone.
    OOTN was the last Eagles album which I bought all others I had already.

    I'm kinda with FP here, it's not my least fave but my 2nd to the least. I find that funny since, like Soda, it has my favorite Eagles track of all time on it, TITTL (I love Randy's version the best). It also contains my least favorite Eagles song Journey of the Sorcerer. Love TITTL, LE, OOTN and ATTIG but the rest of the songs just do absolutely nothing for me.

    i actually have to disagree with a few of you, i like Journey Of The Sorcerer, i think the occasional instrumental track is nice, it has really good dynamics and in my opinion is a really great track, i also love I Wish You Peace, a part of me wishes that they would move up Desperado and close with this song, though i know alot you probably wouldn't like that. OOTN is not my favorite album but i don't really have them ranked cause that listing would switch fairly often with my mood.

    In an effort to contribute more to forum than just my disillusionment thread, I noticed this one at the top. Both OOTN & TITTL are two of my favorite songs by far. Meisner singing that song can bring chills to you with his perfect high pitch. Henley was able to emote many emotions in Nights, and Felder's musical score on both the opening bass and changing it to a guitar driven song instead of the originally planned piano based song is amazing. The harmonies are of course great, maybe even more so on OOTN's.

    BTW - I am not sure about this new background. It is hard on the eyes from my perspective.

    HAPPY 38TH ANNIVERSARY ONE OF THESE NIGHTS!!!!

    This is truly the album that started the band's ascent to superstardom.

    And I, too, love this board style.
