Former Eagles Song Survivor Game

[sodascouts]

It looks like "Take the Devil" will go down without my help, so I'll turn my attention towards a more controversial choice:

I cast my vote for Try and Love Again.

It's got pretty moments but it's so freaking repetitive at the end that it makes the song fall several notches, in my opinion.

[whitcap]

I vote for Try and Love Again.

[TimothyBFan]

Really sorry to see Certain Kind Of Fool go. It was in my top 3.

I'll stick with my vote of My Man.

[Annabel]

Take the devil gets my vote.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

[UK TimFan]

Okay – We are getting down to the wire in this game. As I said before, I am mystified by the order of finish of some of the songs in this game, although I can’t say I’m surprised. As I’ve said many times, there is no Eagles song that I don’t like, but, obviously, I think some are better than others no matter what criteria you use. I would love to hear some opinions about the appeal of Take the Devil because I’m at a loss in recognizing its merits compared to many other songs that were voted off sooner. To me, it is one of the weakest songs in the band’s catalog and there are so many songs in this game that are much better, IMHO.

As for the songs remaining in the game, Midnight Flyer is fun enough, but, for me, it is an average run-of-the-mill bluegrass song that wasn’t even written by the band. The song is no better than average vocally, lyrically, melodically, or musically. My Man has very poignant vocals, lyrics, music, and melody and, surprisingly, is Bernie’s only remaining song in the game. Try and Love Again may be repetitive at the end, but it doesn’t bother me because the wonderful melody, vocals, and music blend so well together. To me, it is a very underrated song because it is overshadowed on an album of consistently exceptional songs. If it were on most any other of the band’s albums, I believe it would be a standout. And as far as Take It To the Limit, it is simply incomparable. So, having said all this, I will urge others to join me in forming a coalition to vote off what I think is the weakest of the remaining songs ...

I cast my vote for Midnight Flyer.

I vote Try & Love Again. Sorry, Dreamer, but, I have always loved Midnight Flyer.
