Henley and Frey Solo Sampler

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Thought it would be interesting to get some of your thoughts about this. A little while back, my niece asked me to make her a CD with some of Don and Glenn's solo songs on it. I asked her what songs she wanted and she named a few of the big hits, but basically told me to decide what to put on it. So here's what I chose ...

1. The Boys of Summer
2. You Belong To the City
3. Dirty Laundry
4. The Heat Is On
5. All She Wants To Do Is Dance
6. Smuggler's Blues
7. The End of the Innocence
8. True Love
9. The Last Worthless Evening
10. River of Dreams
11. The Heart of the Matter
12. Part of Me, Part of You

I must say that it turned out to be such a good CD that I made one for myself. So I'm curious about what others would have put on this CD if you had to pick 12 songs with an equal number from Don and Glenn???

Now this is interesting. The fact is that most of my favourite Don solo tracks are not his big hits. I agree with most of what you have but I'm not good at programming. I might go with something like this:

1. You Belong To The City
2. The Boys Of Summer
3. Part Of Me, Part Of You
4. Dirty Laundry
5. Smuggler's Blues
6. The Last Worthless Evening
7. Common Ground
8. Damn It, Rose
9. Strange Weather
10. A Month Of Sundays
11. True Love
12. The End Of The Innocence

This refects my prejudices with respect to Don's stuff in particular.

[sodascouts]

This is a cool idea. Maybe we could include the other guys too - kind of a "Best of the Eagles' Solo Work."

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I like that idea, Nanc, but maybe we can start another thread for that. I'd like to keep this one for just Don's and Glenn's solo work so I can compare it with the choices that I made.

[sodascouts]

You're right, Dreamer. It should be its own thread. I went ahead and made it.

[sodascouts]

Sounds like something I would do, Troub! ;)

These lists are really interesting.

[EaglesKiwi]

I have to start mine by saying I only have one compilation of Glenn's, plus No Fun Aloud... so I haven't heard everything. Here are my choices from what I HAVE heard. I tried to balance what I most love with what showcases the breadth of their talents - not easy to limit it to just 12 songs!!

Part of Me, Part of You
The One You Love
River of Dreams (thank you YouTube)
Soul Searchin'
The Heat Is One
You Belong To The City
I Will Not Go Quietly
Last Worthless Evening
Boys of Summer
End of the Innocence
Dirty Laundry
Heart of the Matter

Then I started to wonder what order I'd put them in... but that got too hard!!

[Brooke]

Lists are so hard for me! I usually have to listen to the songs and then decide, but I'm just gonna go for it!

1. The Heart of the Matter (my most favorite Don song)
2. The Boys of Summer
3. Part of Me, Part of You (most favorite Glenn song)
4. Dirty Laundry
5. River of Dreams
6. All Those Lies
7. You Belong to the City
8. The Heat Is On
9. New York Minute
10.I've Got Mine
11.You Don't Know Me At All
12.All She Wants To Do Is Dance
