Desperado - your winners and losers

[UK TimFan]

Following on from Prettymaid's question in the 'Survivor Games - ideas, suggestions and feedback thread'

Show of hands - who did not have Bitter Creek in their top three?
and also to avoid going somewhat off-topic in that thread :smile:

Name your top three, and bottom three, songs from 'Desperado'.

Top
1.
2.
3.

Bottom
1.
2.
3.

Top 1 is obviously your most favourite song, with top 3 your third favourite.

Bottom 1 is the song you would vote off first, with bottom 3 your third choice to go.

[Henley Honey]

Top
1. Tequila Sunrise
2. Desperado
3. Out of Control

Bottom
1. Twenty One
2. Certain Kind of Fool
3. Bitter Creek

I couldn't vote cause I'm a "newbie" :weep: but I can play along here!

[UK TimFan]

Top
1. Bitter creek
2. Outlaw man
3. Doolin-Dalton/Desperado reprise

Bottom
1. Out of control
2. Certain kind of fool
3. Twenty one (but only by the slimmest of margins)

And I can truthfully say that had you asked me on 17 April (when this Survivor was announced) what my top three were, they were completely different. Just shows what a difference listening to something makes. :smile:

Top
1. Tequila Sunrise

Bottom

I couldn't vote cause I'm a "newbie" :weep: but I can play along here!
And you have the consolation that your favourite won 'Survivor'. :smile:

1. Doolin-Dalton (instrumental)
2. Doolin-Dalton (reprise)
3. Saturday Night

Bottom (from least favorite to most)
1. Desperado
2. Tequila Sunrise

Desperado is a strange album for me. I more or less like all of the songs (and Desperado is the only Eagles album I can say that about), but I don't really love any of them

[WalshFan88]

Top:
1. Out Of Control
2. Tequila Sunrise
3. Outlaw Man

Bottom:
1. Desperado (I've NEVER liked this song for whatever reason, it's my least favorite of the Eagles' hits)
2. Saturday Night
3. Doolin-Dalton

[pueblo47]

1. Desperado (I've NEVER liked this song for whatever reason, it's my least favorite of the Eagles' hits)

You leave my friend Austin alone. :-)

And show us the colour of your songs, 'cos some of them might be debatable. :laugh:

[UK TimFan]

Poor Austin, he's really scared of me(not):lol:(jk)

Debatable? There has been enough debate of BC that it would be nice if this particular game and its subject would fade away. Everyone has had their say, some a lot more than others and it's very clear what everyone thinks.

Now can this subject get back to the rules and suggestions WITHOUT anymore talking about the last game? Thank you all for reading this and this is all I have to say on it.
Sorry p47. :hug: Obviously unfortunate choice of word.
This thread is the one for giving your top and bottom three songs from Desperado (though I know what your top 'top one' is :smile:). I was getting ready with the :machinegun: in case you selected 'Outlaw man' as your least favourite. :laugh:

[WalshFan88]

You leave my friend Austin alone. :-)


:hug: :D

[EaglesFanatic]

Top Three
Doolin-Dalton
Desperado
Bitter Creek

Bottom Three
Out Of Control
Saturday Night
Certain Kind Of Fool

I like this idea for a thread. It's always interesting to see how people rank the songs.

[whitcap]

My top two are Bitter Creek and Desperado. The rest of the songs are ranked equally under those two.

[AzEaglesFan]

Top favorite

1. Tequila Sunrise
2. Bitter Creek
3. Doolin Dalton /Desperado Reprise

Bottom

1. Out Of Control
2. Desperado
3. Certain Kind of Fool

[sodascouts]

As I said before, I love all the songs, but in my ranking:

Top 3
Doolin-Dalton / Desperado Reprise
Tequila Sunrise
Out of Control

Bottom 3
Saturday Night
Twenty-one
Bitter Creek

[tequila girl]

Without listening to them all again (I don't have time right now!)

I think this is the way i'd go.......

Top 3
1. Doolin' Dalton/ Desperado Reprise
2. Saturday Night
3. Bitter Creek

Bottom 3
1.Out of Control
2. Outlaw Man
3. Tequila Sunrise

[EaglesKiwi]

Wow, everyone's list is so different! I was kind of expecting at least the bottom 3 songs to be somewhat consistent between everyone, but they're not at all!!
:-)
Favourites:
1. Desperado
2. Tequila Sunrise
3. Doolin Dalton

Least favourite:
1. Saturday Night
2. Twenty One

Top:

[BBKron]

Top
1. Desperado
2. Bitter Creek
3. Doolin-Dalton/Desperado Reprise

Bottom
1. Saturday Night
2. Out of Control
3. Outlaw Man

However, I love every song on the album, so for me, there is not that much distance between my favorite and least favorite (some of the ones not even listed here, like Doolin-Dalton, Twenty-One, and Certain Kind of Fool are also among my 'favorites'). Just a truly great album from start to finish. I think that it is not only the Eagle's best album, but one of the best rock albums of all-time.

[Freypower]

Top 3:

Although, after this game, I gained some appreciation for OOC.

[Wildthyme]

There isn't a song on this album I truly dislike - my bottom three are just the ones that I find myself skipping over on occasion which is about the most negative thing I have to say about them :D

[sodascouts]

For anyone who's interested in the stats, I counted these up really quickly:

Most Often in Top Three
Tequila Sunrise - 13
Desperado - 9
Doolin-Dalton/Desperado Reprise - 8

Runners-up
Out of Control - 7
Bitter Creek - 6
Doolin-Dalton - 4
Outlaw Man - 4
Certain Kind of Fool - 2
Saturday Night - 2

Most Often in Bottom Three
Twenty-One - 11
Bitter Creek - 9
Saturday Night - 8

Runners-down
Certain Kind of Fool - 6
Out of Control - 6
Outlaw Man - 6
Desperado - 3
Doolin-Dalton - 2
Tequila Sunrise - 2

[luvthelighthouse]

Out of Control is the one that was most evenly split. Really shocked to see Outlaw Man in the bottom so often. Intersting poll.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I forgot to respond to this thread earlier, so I'll add in my two cents now ...

Top 3

1. Doolin-Dalton/Desperado Reprise
2. Tequila Sunrise
3. Out of Control

Bottom 3

1. Twenty-One (least fav)
2. Saturday Night
3. Bitter Creek

However, as others have said - there is a pretty fine line between my favorites and least favorites on this album. I don't think the album has any bad songs!
