Top 10 Most Underrated Eagles Songs per Ultimate Classic Rock.com

[outontheborder]

The Hollywood Waltz has one of Henley's best lyrics and singing and harmonies, as usual, are incredible.

The reviewer mentioned in this thread says that "After The Thrill is Gone" is a country song?

I dont know about that...it's an R&B influenced song for sure.

Fact is, after On the Border, the Eagles really tried to blend rock with R&B. One of These Nights is a great example.

Although loads of their songs don't sound very country at all, that always seems to be what people label them as.

I love the end of Hollywood Waltz. Don H voice at the end makes me melt

It's nice to see some love for Hollywood Waltz. I've always thought it was such a pretty song. Don sounds great on it.

If it was a hit single, it shouldnt be on this list. PERIOD.

PM, Hollywood Waltz and DD reprise are my 2 favorites. HW is so pretty and I love the lyrics

Someone linked to this site in another thread today, and I remembered this thread. I reread it and realized I had never commented about their list. I don't think it's too bad, although I don't agree that I Can't Tell You Why or One of Those Nights are underrated. I agree with most of the others. Let me just say that I find it almost impossible to do list like these because I always struggle to limit myself to the number requested.

My list would include almost their entire catalog that were not hits ...

Train Leaves Here This Morning
Entire Desperado album
Midnight Flyer
My Man
On the Border
James Dean
Ol' 55
Good Day in Hell
Hollywood Waltz
After the Thrill Is Gone
Every 'non-hit' from the Hotel California album
King of Hollywood
Those Shoes
The Sad Cafe
Learn To Be Still
How Long
What Do I Do With My Heart
Waiting In the Weeds
You Are Not Alone
Long Road Out of Eden
I Dreamed There Was No War
Somebody
I Love To Watch a Woman Dance

I guess you can call me a hardcore.

I wouldn't call either How Long or WITW underrated. How Long got a huge amount of attention & WITW has been a huge favourite of Borderers since Day One. But I absolutely agree with LROOE, YANA, Somebody & of course ILTWAWD. I am not so sure about WDIDWMH. I guess it should have received more attention than it got & therefore it is underrated. Do Something is underrated.

These days, as I have said before, it seems that my two favourite Eagles songs, NKIT & Lyin' Eyes, are underrated. (I could no longer continue to claim that Hotel California is my second favourite Eagles song). This may be because I seem to be more passionate about those songs than many people. Regarding Hollywood Waltz, I understand why people feel it is underrated, but it leaves me cold, like most of that album.

Never understood why Good Day in Hell has practically disappeared into history alongside most of the rest of OTB. Absolutely brilliant song and for me should have been a staple as much as the likes of Already Gone and Best of My Love became.

I tend to discover a new Eagles song every couple of weeks (e.g. I've only heard about half of Eagles and LROOE in depth) so I might get a bit hyped up on these nominations, but some I've discovered recently that like GDIH have vanished without relative trace when they shouldn't have are Most of Us Are Sad and Do Something. The guitar work in the former is beautiful, and the tempo / groove / lyrics of the latter is what makes it for me TBS's best song (ICTWY never really endeared itself to me, and there's something a bit too soppy about LWKUA). I'd also be tempted to say Hollywood Waltz, but like FP said there's something a bit flat about it (and the rest of OOTN). If I had to do a list I'd probably say (most underrated first):
1. The Last Resort
2. Good Day in Hell
3. After the Thrill is Gone
4. Do Something
5. Outlaw Man
6. Ol' 55
7. Victim of Love
8. Sad Cafe
9. Tequila Sunrise
10. Most of Us Are Sad

I'm really liking King of Hollywood

the first song that comes to my mind is Victim of Love...I adore that song...
