Make Your Own "Best of Don Henley"

[Prettymaid]

I don't do lists very well, but I can tell you that my favorite Don solo song is Heart Of The Matter.

[sodascouts]

Same here. The song is magnificent - and what a great message as well. Chokes me up when I'm in the right mood.

[Prettymaid]

Me too.

[Maleah]

Oh gosh, me three guys. lol I've said for a long time that the lyrics "I'm learning to live without you now, but I miss you sometimes, the more I know, the less I understand, all the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again" are some of my favorite lyrics ever. The entire song is magnificent.

I don't do lists very well, but I can tell you that my favorite Don solo song is Heart Of The Matter.

Same here. I just don't have time to take the time to really think them through.

And yes, Heart of the Matter-all time personal favorite Don solo song! Just beautiful!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yeah - I'm a HOTM lover as well, and was a little surprised that THe Last Worthless Evening made everyone's list, but Dirty Laundry and The Heart of the Matter didn't.

I was surprised that Sunset Grill and You Don't Know Me At All received less votes than Miss Ghost, but I've always figured that I am at a loss as to the appeal of Miss Ghost. I just don't get it and I probably never will.

Again there's a song on my list that is on no-one else's: A Month Of Sundays. I suspect Love Rules too... (edit) yes.

If I were to do the list again I would leave out New York Minute & include If Dirt Were Dollars.

The other week, I compiled the results of this thread in Glenn's forum and found it to be interesting, so I thought I'd do it for the rest of the guys as well - just because I'm curious (and anal).

I started to compile lists too , but then no-one else seemed to post and other (personal) events happened so I never got round to either posting the results - or even to compiling my own list of favourites.

I'm still stuck on about 20 of Don's songs, but I will definitely be choosing New York minute and Goodbye to a river - both of which can have me in floods of tears at times, while I definitely won't be choosing 'Boys of summer'. (I know, I know, I'm weird, but I really do not like that song.)

I will probably be with Freypower in selecting A month of Sundays. Having a cousin who is in farming, and coming from a very agricultural county in England, I can associate so closely with the truth in the song.
