    Default Make Your Own "Best of Glenn Frey"

    Per EaglesFanatic's suggestion in another thread:

    If you could make your own "best of" compilation of 15 songs for Glenn Frey's solo stuff, what would be on the CD?

    Again I take it this is a list of 'essentials' not 'favourites'. What a shame that there has been nothing since 1995. If 'essentials':

    I Found Somebody
    The One You Love
    Partytown
    The Allnighter
    Smuggler's Blues
    The Heat Is On
    You Belong To The City
    True Love
    Livin' Right
    Part Of Me, Part Of You
    River Of Dreams
    I've Got Mine
    Call On Me
    Common Ground
    Wild Mountain Thyme

    It's very difficult to limit the number of songs to 15. Here's my list as of today, in no particular order other than the first two are my absolute favourites. This list could change alot from day to day, depending on my mood. Some days I feel like hearing slow songs, some days upbeat & other days a mixture.

    1. The One You Love
    2. After Hours
    3. True Love
    4. Sea Cruise
    5. The Allnighter
    6. Soul Searchin'
    7. Kate
    8. Wild Mountain Thyme
    9. Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed
    10. Partytown
    11. Working Man (slow version)
    12. That Girl
    13. She Can't Let Go
    14. Before The Ship Goes Down
    15. Lovers' Moon

    I don't know how you can include Kate, or Get Up Kate as I call it, because it's a Linda Ronstadt song on which Glenn sings lead. He has never recorded it himself. As for After Hours, all we have of that is a version sung on radio & a live version.

    Actually, Glenn wrote "Get Up Kate" and Linda kindly allowed him to perform it during her shows sometimes. She sang backup for him on it.

    I know he wrote it, but he didn't record it. I think it's a stretch to include the existing version on a Frey compilation.

    Well, since Glenn wrote it and sings lead on it, I think it's a stretch to call it a "Linda Ronstadt song." However, why quibble over such things? These lists are just for fun, after all.

    After Hours (I will succumb to others' inclusions & pretend it was recorded).
