    I vote for Guilty of the Crime. Not one of my favorites from this album.

The use of the organ when speaking of religion is also very trite.

    I agree with all your criticisms sodascouts but Frail Grasp On The Big Picture is , somehow, one of the tracks I choose to listen to, most.

    I vote for I Don't Want To Hear Any More.

    Tim's live solo performance of the track was very enjoyable but it's not a strong enough to be adopted as an Eagles track imho and the Eagles fail to add any magic to it. I'd probably like it more if Joe, rather than Steuart, was lead guitarist.

    Gosh, this is tough already! I'm going to vote for 'I love to watch a woman dance', though pleasant it just isn't as strong as other songs imo.

    I'm going to vote for I love to watch a woman dance -I just find it weird and kinda creepy for some reason (though that might be because its Hallow'een )

    I've listened to the album again over the last few days just to once again get the feel for the tracks that are on it. And I must say the one I sighed most at was 'Frail Grasp on the Big Picture'. Compared to the standard of the other songs its just not there. Its really a bit of a rant. So I will vote it off this round.

    I vote for I Love To Watch A Woman Dance.

    While it would be a shame for this to go first as I don't dislike by any means, but I have to admit I do really like Frail Grasp On The Big Picture, and I think I will have to vote for ILTWAWD to try and save Frail Grasp, which is in my personal top ten. I love the satirical lyrics, and I also enjoy the music, especially the guitars. I guess I just see it a bit differently from some of the other people here.
