Thread: Don Henley Song Survivor: Actual Miles

    I was going to make the observation that there are five songs that haven't yet had one vote against them. That would suggest that we are all going to have much the same top five - does that say something about our similar tastes in music, or is it to do with the quality of Don's songwriting?

    This round though

    I cast my vote for You Don't Know Me At All

    If I can make an observation, I think it's interesting that there has been hardly any discussion about the songs themselves. For the most part people (myself included) have voted and not elaborated on their reasons.

    I hope the other studio albums will get Survivor games, even if only a handful of people participate, because there might be more discussion of the songs.

    I think the thing that puts IWNGQ over YDKMAA for me is how killer it is live!

    As far as NYM goes, it's not my favorite certainly - but I did love hearing Stevie Nicks and Don sing it a lot on the "Two Voices" tour so that moves it up a bit for me.

    FP - I doubt doing the studio albums will garner more discussion; indeed, I think there would be less, because less people will have heard the songs in question!

    Just when I was about to vote for New York Minute it becomes immune.

    I cast my vote for I Will Not Go Quietly.

    I understand there may still not be much discussion about studio album songs but still it seems that only a handful of people who know the songs will be playing anyway.

    My streak has ended....thankfully, my second choice is a pretty easy one to make. I vote for I Will Not Go Quietly. Like New York Minute, I would not miss this song if it weren't on Actual Miles. The best part of the song are the lines that everyone here seems to love:

    "Well, c'mon over here baby
    You bout to gimme a heart attack
    I wanna wrap my lovin arms
    Around the small of your back
    Yeah, and Im gonna pull you, pull you, pull you
    Pull you right up close to me"

    Very sexy lyrics, but not enough for me to keep this one around much longer. And, I know that a lot of you have seen it live and loved it. I may have seen it too since I've seen him in concert 3 times. If I did, it didn't leave an impression on me. Of course, my mind is like a sieve these days so not much of anything is leaving an impression on me!

    FP, I wonder if there hasn't been much discussion because the first few rounds were fairly easy for everyone. I think the last 5 rounds are going to be really tough, and perhaps, generate more discussion. I know which one I want to see win, but as far as voting off the other ones, I have no idea in what order I want to see them go.

    I haven't seen Don solo and I am extremely unlikely to . I thought it was interesting that two songs which the Eagles still insist on playing, SG and ASWTDID, were voted off quickly. I really believe that if Don still has to do solo songs, these should be changed. But I am hoping he will be singing his new Eagles songs, not these.

    After my discussion in the last round, my vote is pretty obvious, but...
    I cast my vote for Last Worthless Evening.
