    I had to take a listen to this one again before voting like you PLS!

    Yeah, it's true. You Never Cry Like A Lover is my least liked song even though Don's voice is gorgeous on it. How could he do it?!

    So there ya go. I vote for You Never Cry Like A Lover as the worst song on the album. [/b]

    To clarify, I don't 'hate' YNCLAL but there are many better songs in the band's canon. Apart from the lyrics, it's overproduced. This is why they dumped Glyn Johns & hired Szymczyk.

    Oh - this is going to be hard. Just to clarify, I don't hate any Eagles song. As a matter of fact, I love most of them, including all of the songs on this album. I have said before, I think On the Border is probably the bands most underrated album. It is difficult to vote any of the songs off, but if it has to be done ...

    I cast my vote for Is It True.

    Ok my last decision on the voting was not a wise one, I even took time to listen to the album again and found that I made a critical mistake, sorry, this is what song really should be kicked off next:

    I cast my vote for Is It True
    So goodbye rodeo, it's a long funny way for a man to go...

    You can vote for whicever song you like. If you don't like Good Day In Hell you can vote for it - it's your choice.

    Next for me was either Midnight Flyer or Is It True. Is It True has a nice tune and a nice vocal by Randy. Midnight Flyer is the cliched country rock sound the band was about to ditch - superbly played though it is. Plus it's a cover.

    I cast my vote for Midnight Flyer.

    Aw, I wouldn't call it a critical mistake FF! GDIH is still around - for now!

    This is a tough, but strategic move:

    I cast my vote for On the Border.

    Hmmm this was a tough one for me between Midnight Flyer, Is It True, and My Man

    I can't believe you voted for On The Border Soda!

    I cast my vote for Is It True
