Glenn Frey Song Survivor: The Solo Collection

[Freypower]

Circumstances may make it difficult for me to be here for the immunity deadlines this week. I will try but I am not sure if I will make it or not.

I just want to make a quick comment on Brave New World. It is a 'sleeper'. It just grows and grows on you. I know it was inspired by Stephen King's The Stand but I always think he had the war in Bosnia in mind as well (or maybe he did). It has a really uplifting melody and an urgent and committed vocal. It probably is not the sort of song casual listeners associate with Glenn (but nor is anything else from that magnificent album. I hope we do a Survivor for it and the other solo albums, and Don's solo albums at least).

Its amazing how we all differ isn't it! BNW is one of my favourites!!

One of mine, too!

Voting for Round 3 will begin after the following immunity question is answered:

Which song(s) on the Solo Collection album were not co-written by Glenn Frey?

Please include both your answer and the song you wish to be immune.

[Freypower]

Dreamer, that was the line I had in mind for SG if it was eliminated -you're holding onto a dream if you think you can win this game.

The answer to this is The Heat Is On & Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed, and as I've praised Brave New World, I would like it to be immune.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

You are correct, FP!

Brave New World is immune.

VOTING FOR ROUND THREE BEGINS NOW.

[scottside]

I cast my vote for "Call On Me" this time, but I do so reluctantly. I just couldn't fine something else that I felt that should go first...

[Brooke]

I cast my vote for Common Ground this time. It just seems a bit, uh, common?!

I really hope I've Got Mine stays around a while longer. I just love the guitar in it.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Scott - I totally agree with you here. Plus, as I already said, I just love Common Ground and think it is one of Glenn's best solo vocal performances ever. As far as I've Got Mine, it has special significance to me and I think it is a great song.

I cast my vote for Call on Me.

Dreamer, that was the line I had in mind for SG if it was eliminated -you're holding onto a dream if you think you can win this game.

This made me laugh, FP. I think that is the best line in the song, and I like your take on it better than mine.

[timfan]

This is a TOUGH Song Survivor!

I do love all the songs on this CD. As I love the sentiment of Common Ground :

I cast my vote for Call On Me

[Freypower]

Damn! I KNEW I should have made Call On Me immune, as it's a song I absolutely love and I probably won't be able to make the deadline tomorrow.

I cast my vote for Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed which I consider the least distinguished of the 'new' songs here, and yet this is the one he plays live.
