    Default Eagles Song Survivor: One of These Nights

    Time for our next Song Survivor! Our album this time will be One of These Nights. If you're new, for a basic overview of the game, see this post: Survivor Overview

    I'm going to list the songs of One of These Nights here. Vote for the song that you feel should be eliminated from the list. The song 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 song 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.

    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. At the beginning of the round, I ask a question related to one of the songs on One of These Nights. The first person who answers the question correctly gets to pick a remaining song 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 song being immune. You only get one guess per round, so be careful! Remember to include both the answer to the question and the song you want immune in your reply, or it won't count.


    The winner of the "One of These Nights" Survivor is ...

    Take It To the Limit!!!

    Visions 6/12

    I'll start us off!

    Let's just say there's a reason why Felder never sang lead on more than one Eagles song...

    I cast my vote for Visions.

    Hey folks, as usual I am going to withhold my vote for now. However, I want to encourage everyone to consider Journey of the Sorcerer for elimination here. I am shocked it hasn't received any votes yet. It's not that it's a bad song, but to me it is very 'out-of-sync' with the most of the other songs on this album. It is also a little too long for my liking, which has the effect of making it somewhat repetitious. Just my two cents.

    I agree with you to some extent but the older I get the more innovative I think JOTS is. It is not a favourite of mine but it is different for this band.

    It took major balls for the band to include a song like "Journey of the Sorcerer" on that album. They had to know most people would be going "huh" but they did it anyway.

    JOTS has a melodic drama to it that I like. It may be out of place on an Eagles album, but it's a great song. JMHO.
