Eagles Song Survivor: Desperado

[sodascouts]

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

I'm going to list the Desperado songs 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 the song you want OUT.

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! However, you do need to have been a member in good standing for at least two weeks before you are allowed to cast a vote.

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.

The tie-breaker question will be asked one hour after results are in, if there is need for it. The exception is the last round. If the tie-breaker does not resolve the last round, then the tie will be allowed to stand.

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. After the end of the round, I ask a question related to the album / songs. 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. You must include both your answer and the song you wish to be immune in your post in order for it to count. 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!


And the winner is....

TEQUILA SUNRISE!

Saturday Night

[Freypower]

My first vote is for Twenty-One.

[sodascouts]

I love every song on this album, so this entire game is going to be difficult for me.

But something has to go first....

I cast my vote for Bitter Creek.

Its moody tone and ominous foretelling of the end of the Doolin-Dalton gang is a very effective counterpoint to songs like Twenty-One and Out of Control, but despite how good it is, when it comes down to it, it's the song that gets the least number of repeat plays from me.

I'm not ready to vote yet... but I have to say I'm a tad sorry to see a vote for Saturday Night right out of the gate. As far as I know, SN is the only song that has songwriting credit by all of the Eagles. I hold that song dear to my heart, because all four of the guys really came together and I feel it's a special gift. Maybe that's hokey... but the song is such a rarity.

I cast my vote for Bitter Creek. As with Soda, it is the only song on the album that I sometimes skip. I don't care for it's "moody tone" either.

[Koala]

I cast my vote for Twenty-One

[AzEaglesFan]

I vote for "Out of Control"
I listened to the CD again and this is a tough one already and we are only on the first song.

[EaglesFanatic]

I vote for Certain Kind Of Fool.

[TimothyBFan]

The hardest decision for me for this game of Survivor is which of the 7 songs I really don't care that much, on this album, to start with. (hangs head in shame)

I guess since it's already received a couple of votes and it is at the bottom of my list also....

I vote for Bitter Creek.
