Eagles Song Survivor: The Long Run

[Brooke]

I've come to kinda like King of Hollywood. I love the guitar parts. I know it's dark and forboding, but I like it.

I cast my vote for Greeks. Never did like it.

[glenneaglesfan]

Both 'Greeks' and 'King of Hollywood' have interesting observations on life, but I prefer the way they handle KOH.

I cast my vote for The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks

[Z]

I love King of Hollywood! Greeks conjures up some very vivid (and accurately portrayed) scenes from my ancient past.

I cast my vote for The Sad Cafe. It's too preachy for this album.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I agree with Z that The Sad Cafe is somewhat out of place on this album, however, I still love the song.

I also like King of Hollywood a lot - I think it has great, albeit dark lyrics, and I think the music and singing style are very appropriate. I also like 'Greeks' - another song with clever lyrics. IMO, what hurts this song is that it is too short. I'd like to have seen another verse so the song sounds 'complete'. I'm sure that those of you who hate it totally disagree with me about this - you may think that is the only good thing about the song.

I know most of you disagree, but I was going to vote for In the City here. I don't know why, but I just like this song 'okay.' However, in a strategic move to try to save KOH -

I cast my vote for The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks.

Ah, clever, Dreamer. You're getting the idea.

Voting for Round 4 begins now.

[sodascouts]

OK, King of Hollywood got by last time, but this round, it's going down! Unless of course the King-lovers can get a strategic rally around another song.

So, here we go...

I cast my vote for The King of Hollywood.

I cast my vote for The King of Hollywood

For the same reasons I stated last round.

[Freypower]

I'm unsure of how 'strategic votes' work so I will now cast my vote for In The City. I like the song but it doesn't really seem a part of the album.

It's funny how all these negative comments are coming out about songs which we all basically love.

I cast my vote for In The City.

[DonFan]

Crap! You voted off Greeks before I got a chance to voice my opinion. I actually like Greeks a lot--as a survivor of fraternity parties at the University of Alabama in my sordid youth, that song is bouncy and fun and conjures up some fond memories.

Ah, well, what's done is done. May I suggest a time frame for each song's votes, so voters can try to get their vote cast in time, if possible?

I now cast my vote for King of Hollywood. Monotonous, menacing, boring!
