Eagles Song Survivor: On the Border

[UndertheWire]

UTW - You already voted in this round (Post #207).

You are already gone - only one vote per round, Missy! lol

Sorry, I thought we were already onto the next round!

As it's now time, I'll vote Already Gone.

Best of my Love is all about lying on my bedroom floor and lifting the stylus to play it one more time. It's the song that transformed them.

Wow! I gotta say I have participated in every single Survivor game on this board and this has got to be one of the weirdest ones ever. lol

First of all, @ cosec3791 - I'm truly am not trying to be critical, but I am genuinely confused about the how you could love live versions of these songs, but not even like any of the album versions. The Eagles stayed as true to the album versions in live concerts as just about any band ever, so there's just not that much difference to my ears. Yes, there are some minor differences, but, generally, not enough to cause me to go from loving one version to not even liking the other. JMHO

Now to the important matter at hand - Ol' 55 vs. The Best of My Love. Both of these songs have beautiful music, vocals and harmonies. But, lyrically, they are not even close. IMHO, BOML's lyrics are far superior to Ol' 55. And besides that, Ol' 55 is a cover - it wasn't even written by the band. And I say, thank goodness for that.

So, BOML lovers, let's join together and save this song. It's not too late!

SAVE THE BEST OF MY LOVE!

VOTE FOR OL' 55!


I cast my vote for Ol' 55.

Well, first of all I'm completely bummed that GDIH, one of the few Eagles rockers, is gone! I love that song! I know the lyrics are not the greatest, but it truly rocks!

And now, again, I vote for Ol'55. No comparison at all to BOML or AG! NONE!

SAVE THE BEST OF MY LOVE!

PLEASE! VOTE OL' 55

[Dawn]

I agree Brooke about GDIH. FWIW - I changed my mind about GDIH because without that song being recorded it is a safe bet there would be no HC.

Can't vote against AG. As for Ol'55 even though it's a cover I love the arrangement and never get tired of listening to the song unlike BOML.

[East Texas Girl]

Although I really like Ol' 55 it is just a cover, even though the guys put their own spin on it. I feel it should go before Eagles pinned songs.

Cast my vote for Ol' 55.
