Make your own "best of" compilation

[EaglesFanatic]

I got this idea from the discussion in the Randy on itunes thread. I apologize if there is already a thread similar to this.
I thought it'd be interesting to see everyone's answers to: If you could make your own "best of" compilation of 15 songs for each band member's solo stuff, what would be on the CD?
For example (not my actual choices):
Best of Joe Walsh
1. RMW
2. Life's been good
3. County Fair
4. Meadows
And so on and so forth :)

You know, I thought we'd done one of these for all of the guys but when I looked back, I noticed that most of them weren't just solo, or weren't just 15 songs. The only one we did that for was Timothy:

"Best of Timothy B. Schmit" CD (https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1413)

....but even that one was pre-Expando and therefore incomplete.

I think it would be fun to start a thread like this for each of the guys in their individual forums. Are you game?

[Glennsallnighter]

Absolutely! A lovely challenge for these cold winter nights Soda!

[TimothyBFan]

Great idea EF & Soda!! Go for it!

[sodascouts]

OK then - I'll go ahead and take the liberty of starting the threads. Great idea, EF!

15 absolutely essential tracks:

Take It Easy
Witchy Woman
Desperado
Tequila Sunrise
Best Of My Love
One Of These Nights
Lyin' Eyes
Hotel California
New Kid In Town
Life In The Fast Lane
Heartache Tonight
I Can't Tell You Why
Get Over It
How Long
Long Road Out Of Eden

These are not my favourites necessarily; they are 'essentials'. My 'favourites' list would be different & I'm not sure if that is the idea of the thread.

[sodascouts]

Yes, we can't forget to do one for the Eagles!

(FP, I approach this as our "favorites" because if it were just "essentials" then everyone's list would be pretty much the same)

1. Take It Easy
2. Peaceful Easy Feeling
3. Desperado
4. Already Gone
5. Best of My Love
6. Lyin' Eyes
7. Take It to the Limit
8. Hotel California
9. Life in the Fast Lane
10. New Kid in Town
11. Pretty Maids All in a Row
12. I Can't Tell You Why
13. Heartache Tonight
14. Seven Bridges Road
15. How Long

(ETA: Geez, my list is pretty much all hits anyway. I feel I should at least put in one lesser known track just for the sake of hardcore fan cred! I guess PMAIAR will have to suffice for that.)

[TimothyBFan]

WOW--This one is HAAAAAARD!! I will note that if you ask me this next week, it could be different! I would say that the first 8 songs would always make the list tho.

That's the bonus track they included on the "Special Deluxe Edition" of which there were only 100 made. You will have to try to buy it on Ebay at an exorbitant price!!:hilarious:
