So...if LROOE had been released as a single disc album...

[Brooke]

These would be my picks and in no particular order:

How Long
Busy Being Fabulous
What Do I Do With My Heart
Waiting in the Weeds
No More Cloudy Days
Long Road Out of Eden
Somebody
Business As Usual
Center of the Universe
It's Your World Now

I don't think either Joe's or Timothy's songs are up to par with these.

ETA-not sure how the time fits, but I only have 10 songs.

[Delilah]

My selections for a cd in roughly the order I would burn them:

1. How Long
2. Busy Being Fabulous
3. I Don’t Want to Hear Anymore
4. You Are Not Alone
5. Waiting in the Weeds
6. No More Cloudy Days
7. Center of the Universe
8. Somebody
9. I Dreamed There was No War
10. It’s Your World Now

Bonus track: live 1973 recording of “How Long”

Sorry, no Joe songs. #2 and #7 barely made the cut. #8 (which doesn’t seem to quite fit in) and #9 I could have left off but they were needed to have at least 10 tracks.

I think more Joe and Timothy songs could have been included in LROOE had they been allowed to add some of their solo material.

I know Don and Glenn had arguments in the passed when making the LROOE album on multiple but I know the argument about it being a single or a double album was very contentious. Don has said he still believes it should have been a single album. If you were forced to make a single album version what would you include in it? I find it hard because if I do just what I feel are the best songs, Joe and Timothy get left out. What would you put?

I think Joe and Timothy got left out of A LOT on LROOE in general. I don't think they really got to have much input on the album by the end of it. Look at the credits. Joe gets 2 leads and 1 co-write. Timothy gets 2 leads and 2 co-writes. But then Steuart Smith got 5 co-writing credits.

And that's not a slight on Steuart Smith. He seems to be a fabulous writer and player. Just seemed odd to me that he would get to have more input than Tim and Joe.

But back to the topic at hand:

1. No More Walks In the Woods
2. How Long
3. Guilty of the Crime
4. I Don't Want to Hear Anymore
5. Waiting In the Weeds
6. Do Something
7. Long Road Out of Eden
8. Last Good Time in Town
9. No More Cloudy Days

It should be interesting to see everyone's track-listing selections lol.

[YoungEaglesFan]

My list would be in no order

1. How long
2. What do I do with my heart
3. Busy being fabulous
4. Waiting in the weeds
5. Long road out of Eden
(I dreamed there was no war acting like the wasted time reprise in between discs)
6. Somebody
7. Center of the universe
8. Business as usual
9. Last good time in town
10. Your world now
(Almost put no more walks in the wood for LGTIT)

[shunlvswx]

Here are my 10:
1. How Long
2. What Do I Do With My Heart
3. Busy Being Fabulous
4. Somebody
5. Do Something
6. Center Of the Universe
7. Waiting In The Weeds
8. Long Road Out Of Eden
9. You Are Not Alone
10. No More Walks In The Wood

I like both of Timothy's songs. I like Do Something more than I Don't Want To Hear Anymore. I'm not really a fan of Joe's songs on the album.

For what it's worth here is the original topic on this:

https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/...read.php?t=730

This is what I posted:

1. How Long
2. What Do I Do With My Heart
3. Waiting In The Weeds
4. Do Something
5. You Are Not Alone
6. Long Road Out Of Eden
7. Somebody
8. Frail Grasp On The Big Picture
9. Last Good Time In Town
10. I Love To Watch A Woman Dance
11. Centre Of The Universe
12. It's Your World Now

I would now replace COTU with IDTWNW & LGTIT with BAU.

Thanks FP I figured there was an original topic but i just wanted to talk about the album

[thelastresort]

It would have been an infinitely better album if it had just been the one side, namely:

1) How Long
2) What Do I Do with My Heart
3) I Don't Want to Hear Any More
4) Waiting in the Weeds
5) Do Something
6) You Are Not Alone
7) Long Road Out of Eden
8) I Dreamed There Was No War
9) Somebody
10) It's Your World Now

... presented in the order that they made the final cut, not my preference. Joe's contributions to LROOE were very poor, and Henley would be better off training as a preacher instead of recording tat like Frail Grasp on the Big Picture. Throw all that together and the hardest chice to make was I Love to Watch a Woman Dance or It's Your World Now!

[YoungEaglesFan]

I get some of the arguments that the album itself would have been artistically better as a whole if it was just one album but I don’t think that means that much in my opinion. More eagles songs is a good thing in my mind. Some were flawed but I don’t think any are that bad. Especially since it was their only full album since the break up and their last one. Had they had some previous unreleased material that would be fine but they aren’t big on that kind of thing

[Freypower]

I'm glad it was a double album because Glenn had more songs. If it had been a single album you know very well 75% of it would have been Henley songs. Again. I'm just grateful. The Walsh songs are below par and only Do Something is worthy of Tim.
