    Default Eagles Song Survivor: Non-Studio Album Songs

    Time for the Non-Studio Album Song Survivor! If you're new, for a basic overview of the game, see this post: Survivor Overview

    I'm going to list the songs competing in the game here. Vote for the song that you feel should be eliminated from the list. The song that gets the most votes will be taken off of the list (or, in the language of Survivor, "Voted off of the island.") Each round, one more song will get axed, until there's only one left. Remember: you're voting for your LEAST favorite, not your favorite.

    Each round will last 48 hours after posting to give people a chance to vote who don't post every day. That means that the first round will end at 8:00 Eastern time the day after tomorrow. If you miss a round, don't think you can't play. It's all good!

    Since there may be discussion posts, be sure to make it clear when you are casting your vote. Votes must be cast before the cut off time of 8:00 on the second day, and they cannot be changed once you have voted.

    Note: The board clock is not accurate (currently 35 - 36 minutes ahead of real time). Please do not rely on it for meeting posting deadlines.

    While these games can get heated, remember it's all in good fun. You can debate the merits of a song, but don't badger people who don't vote the same way you do. The administrator and moderators reserve the right to take action if they determine that someone is behaving disruptively, nastily, or otherwise inappropriately.

    If you get confused about what round we are in, look at this post. I'll always update it to reflect the current round. Also feel free to post any questions if you don't understand what's going on.

    If there is a tiebreaker, then ALL votes from ALL previous rounds are tallied and whoever has the most prior votes is eliminated. That’s the way it’s done on the real show, that’s the way it’s done here. If there is a complete tie with prior votes (Murphy’s Law), then I'll have a sudden-death trivia question ready. The first person who answers it correctly gets to break the tie. The odds of that happening are slim, but you never know, and it's good to be prepared.

    The tie-breaker question will be asked one hour after results are in, if there is need for it. The exception is the last round. If the tie-breaker does not resolve the last round, then the tie will be allowed to stand.

    Note: In order to avoid voter fraud and trolling, we require that you must be "a member in good standing" as defined by the Terms of Service for at least two weeks before the start of the game in order to cast a vote.


    GAME OVER!


    The winner is:

    Seven Bridges Road


    Songs Eliminated:
    Funky New Year 6/15
    All Night Long 6/17
    Please Come Home for Christmas 6/19
    Get You in the Mood 6/21
    Love Will Keep Us Alive 6/23
    One Day at a Time 6/25
    The Girl from Yesterday 6/27
    Life’s Been Good 6/29
    Learn To Be Still 7/1

    Thanks for playing and hope everyone enjoyed the game.

    I Vote get you in the mood. Glenn was just not an accomplished songwriter and it shows in the song.

    I hope you mean he wasn't accomplished at the time he wrote it. He was young. He had to learn. It's a lot better than a couple of other tracks which were on the first album, in my view.

    I think this will be a hard game for me because I suspect my opinions will be very different from others.

    Here goes:

    Please Come Home For Christmas.

    (I am still getting gaps of two lines when I type paragraphs. It's annoying. Oh well).

    Oh of course. I should have clarified. I think it’s the worst song out of all the Glenn sung or written songs on the album but we can disagree on that

    OK, yeah, GYIM is... not his best work.


    But I'm voting for LBG just because it's a solo song, essentially, so I think it should go before the true Eagles stuff.

    I cast my vote for Life's Been Good.

    My vote is for One Day At A Time, not really and Eagles song to me. It was either this or Life's Been Good, but its such a fun song I will leave it for now.
