If you had to switch one song from an album...

[YoungEaglesFan]

so If you had to take one song off of every Eagles album and place it onto a different album, which songs would you switch? The goal is to have the song fit musically or thematically with the album it’s being put into. Or you could just focus on improving the album by adding new elements or having more input from a particular member. The only rule is, you have to make sure each album has the same number of songs it had originally. I’m not doing HFO or Eagles live but feel free to do them) Also ignore lineup issues or sound quality differences (for example LROOE songs sound much different than their older material)

heres mine

Eagles: Add How long, remove chug all night
desperado: add best of my love, remove twenty one
On the border add twenty one, remove best of my love
One Of These nights: add Chug all night, remove after the thrill is gone
Hotel California add the sad cafe ,remove The last resort
The Long Run: add after the thrill is gone, remove the sad cafe
Long Road Out Of Eden: add The last resort, remove how long

not really satisfied with this but it’s my first try. Interested to see what you guys come up with

YEF, I noticed that you used all the same songs so, in other words, can we not include songs that were never on an album or do we have to use all the songs only already on albums?

Doesnt really matter. I don’t want to over complicate it, so however you want to do it is fine.

Eagles: Replace "Chug All Night" with "How Long."

Desperado: I can't think of any song that could replace what's here conceptually. While I would be fine with switching out "Twenty One," I can't think of anything to put in its place.

On The Border: Replace "Is It True?" with "Wait and See."

One Of These Nights: Replace "I Wish You Peace" with "Georgia Peach."

Hotel California: This is really a perfect album the way it is. Even if there was something else lying around from a comparable time period, there's nothing here I would want to remove.

The Long Run: Replace "Disco Strangler" and "Teenage Jail" with "Party Dress" and "Too Much Drama," both unreleased songs by the Eagles although the latter was recorded by Mickey Thomas from the Starship.

Long Road Out Of Eden: Replace "Frail Grasp Of the Big Picture" with "Dimming Of The Day," a Richard Thompson song they recorded for the album in the early 2000s.

I can't really think of anything I would change.

The first two records didn't do much for me at all.

But I think other than that I wouldn't change much.

Good question. I'm going to have to think about it!
