    Default Rate Randy's Top Eagles Tracks

    1. Take It to the Limit - No brainer...timeless, incredible song. And I always make sure to listen to it until the end so I get to hear the highest voice of all-time.
    2. Try and Love Again - Amazing last song for him with the band. I dare anyone to listen to this song without singing along.
    3. Is It True? -Another song I really enjoy. you can see why this song wasn't a major hit, but it's one of my favorites. Love the slide guitar by Glenn.
    4. Midnight Flyer - Love the pace of this song. And that banjo by Bernie is out of this world.
    ^^^Midnight Flyer/Is It True? are a major reason On the Border is my second favorite Eagles record.
    5. Most of Us Are Sad - Beautiful song. This band is great at making you sing along with their sad songs and this is a prime example!
    6. Tryin' - I love the sound and sentiment of this song. It fits perfectly for 1972.
    7. Too Many Hands - I love how his voice sounds. Unfortunately, I think this song is overshadowed by the brilliance of the rest of One Of These Nights.
    8. Certain Kind of Fool - Great emotion in this vocal performance. I like it more each time I listen to it. I wish Randy would have been given more lead vocals on the Desperado album.
    9. Take the Devil - Another song that I like. It's just that I tend to enjoy love songs the best and this is a little darker of a song.


    I'd also like to bring attention to Randy's part in the song Nightingale from the Eagles' first record. I was recently blown away by how much his voice captured MY attention at the 1:20 mark. It's reminiscent of his voice coming through in Take It Easy. You can also hear his voice pretty prominently throughout the rest of the song, but I really gear myself up to sing that part.

    Hope to see some more lists!

    My favourites (Randy tracks) are Take the Devil and Tryin' which were both written and sung by Randy - I prefer Randy with more of a "rock" vocal. I love the words of Certain Kind of Fool but not the vocals.

    I agree with most of the order too in the first post. "Take it to the Limit" is actually my top favorite Eagles song and like I said in another thread I wrote a scene to that song when I was a pre-teen, that one day I will fit in one of my novels. I just haven't found the right story yet.
