Eagles Song Survivor: The Long Run

[RudieCantFail]

I vote for The Sad Cafe. I want to keep The Long Run alive for another round as it is my code name for my human bio class for grades.

The Sad Cafe

[WS82Classics]

All those people who voted for TLR to try & save KOH - where are you?

Save The Sad Café! Vote for The Long Run. The Long Run has done nothing for me for years. I had a couple of good moments with Glenn while watching it live but that's all.

I vote for The Long Run.

Can't speak for others, but I'm not casting another vote in this thread. I really don't care which song wins. Takes out a LOT of unnecessary anxieties that way.

Have fun, kiddies!

I vote for I Can't Tell You Why. I think it's a great track, but I just like the three remaining songs a bit more. I'd love if it The Sad Café could survive, but I think it will probably go down this round, and if so I'd prefer TLR and HT to contest the final rather than ICTYW, although that is just my view.

I'll offer a few words in defence of The Long Run. I think it's an excellent track overall, but it has a great groove - as I think Don said in the Very Best Of liner notes, Glenn's rhythm guitar drives the song, and I also really like Tim's bass playing. I find it very rewarding to listen to it closely. I also think it's a great Don vocal - just the right amount of 'edge' - and I really like the lyrics, especially the 'all the debutants in Houston' line.

I haven't decided on my vote for this round yet, but I very much agree with everything you say about The Long Run, JCL. And absolutely love the way Don sings "all the debutantes in Houston, baby." The three times I've seen him perform it in Massachusetts, he's changed it to "all the debutantes in Boston, baby, couldn't hold a candle to you," which makes me smile. Also, love the way he fools around with Joe on the Farewell I DVD on that line!

I have my 2 favourites here so it's down to which of the other two to vote off this round. Therefore strategically voting I'm going to vote off 'I can't Tell you why' this round.

I like the Long Run. So I'm voting for The Sad Cafe.

[rcknalwys]

I'm going with TLR again. I love this song but somebody has to go and ICTYW is a huge favorite for me and I also relate to the theme of SC better that TLR. It's hard to choose between great songs.

[AlreadyGone95]

I vote for I Can't Tell You Why.

I suspect some may have gotten guilt tripped over their strategizing.

I vote for The Long Run.
