This or That: Eagles

[shunlvswx]

Hmm. I'm going to say Life's Been Good.

**********
Glenn's instrument of You Belong To The City in concert: Glenn playing guitar or Glenn playing on the keys(like in the F1 DVD)

[thelastresort]

On keys (I think it was a Clavinet on Farewell 1?) - the more he does piano the better, reminds me of when they were less reliant on back-ups.

-----------------------

Saturday Night - everyone in (like BBC 73, Eagles Live 80 etc) or as a Don / Glenn duo, as now?

[L101]

Saturday night with everyone from '73 although I also like the version with Don and Glenn now as they sound so young in it.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soundtrack songs :
Don Love Rules (http://vimeo.com/77269446) from Fast times at Ridgemont High OR Glenn Part of me, Part of you (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5d0oo6eJhA) from Thelma and Louise

[shunlvswx]

Definitely Love Rules.

**************
Don's Farm Aid performance in 1989: The End Of the Innocence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a08OY9tOGiE or
The Heart of The Matter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEQgkor-jgU

[Ive always been a dreamer]

The Heart of the Matter by a smidgen.

==============================================

One Day At a Time: Eagles F1 version or Joe solo version

[WalshFan88]

Good question. I think ODAAT is one of the stronger tracks on Analog Man, but I prefer the F1 version actually.

-------

Songs from HFO: Get Over It or Love Will Keep Us Alive?

[shunlvswx]

Get Over It.

*****************
Best Interview part of a DVD: HFO or F1

[DivineDon]

Definitely, F1!!! Don looks and sounds so good :thumbsup:


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don's The Unclouded Day (from ICSS) or No more cloudy days (from LROOE)?

[L101]

No more cloudy days from LROOE - That song is in my head all day (as its really cloudy here http://www.mazeguy.net/weather/cloud.gif) so had to pick it now :grin:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Doolin Dalton/Desperado Reprise::
from Don Kirshners Rock 1974 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geXc339VZlI) OR from the HOTE tour 2014 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SslxLGjP3E)

[thelastresort]

1974 - amazing performance and you can see the emotion in them, especially Glenn near the end

.............

Already Gone - Krishner's Rock Concert or California Jam version?

[shunlvswx]

I love 74 version too. The end is soo powerful. Desperado!!! Desperado!!

I'm going to say Already Gone Krishner's Rock Concert version. Amazing guitar playing by Don F.

******************
Which Eagle would you want to write a song about you: Don or Glenn.

[Freypower]

Glenn

---------------------------

Joes' ballads (HFO versions): Pretty Maids All In A Row or Help Me Through The Night?

[thelastresort]

Help Me Thru the Night - really annoyed it never made the CD as it's probably my favourite song from HFO.

-------------------

Seattle 76 or Houston 77 concerts?

[shunlvswx]

I love Help Me Through the Night. Its too bad they don't play this concert anymore. Its a beautiful song.

Houston 77

************
Acoustic part of the show: The ones played on the HFO tour or F1 DVD

[Ive always been a dreamer]

F1 DVD

==================================================

Randy's lead vocals: Certain Kind of Fool or Try and Love Again

[Glennhoney]

Try and love again.....great, great song...:thumbsup:

[WalshFan88]

GH didn't put down a following question so I'll do one.

-----------

Peaceful Easy Feeling studio version or HFO version?

[Glennhoney]

..oops sorry....the studio version, though I do LOVE the HFO version..

HOTEL CALIFORNIA ..classic version or HFO version????

[WalshFan88]

Studio....to me it isn't HC without those electric guitar solos.... I think the HFO version is good and was a good idea, but I just prefer the electric version.

----

Desperado or Tequila Sunrise?

[DivineDon]

I have to say Desperado though it's a toughie. Their first two songs that started it all...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Long Road Out of Eden or The Long Run?

[thelastresort]

LROOE, though it would have been much better for being shorter. The title track is easily their best song since the HC era.

.......................

On the Border or One of These Nights?

[L101]

One of these nights - love that song! !

-----------------------------------------------------------
Which would you like to hear Don sing:
September by Earth, wind and fire OR
Play that funky music by Wild Cherry??

[DJ]

September

Which would you like to here Glenn sing
Crying by Roy Orbison or Blue Eyes Crying in the rain-Willie Nelson

[Freypower]

I felt I should answer this. Crying is far too dramatic for Glenn (Here's To Life notwithstanding), although Don McLean's version is good. I had never heard Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain so I went to YouTube. The reality is neither song does much for me but Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain is far better suited to Glenn's voice.

-----------------------------------

So on the same lines which Beatles song would you like to hear Glenn sing? Let It Be or Something?!

[sodascouts]

Something - I like Glenn being romantic ;)

==============

Title tracks: "On the Border" or "One of These Nights"?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

One of These Nights

================================================== ===

appearances of the band: Hotel California era or The Long Run era

[WalshFan88]

Hmm.. I'll go Hotel California era. Not a strong opinion either way.

-----

Songs: The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks or Funky New Year?

[thelastresort]

TGSWNF has grown on me a lot and is very oddly catchy. Funky New Year is one of very few Eagles songs not on my iPod.

-------------------

Teenage Jail or Disco Strangler?

[WalshFan88]

That's a toughie. My favorite weird one is "Greeks", I actually somewhat like that one. But those two...... I'll go Teenage Jail. I'm not a disco fan. :nahnah:

---------------

New York Minute or You Belong To The City?

[Freypower]

Austin, The Disco Strangler is NOT a disco song. It is railing against the lifestyle led by people who listened to that type of music. That is the whole point of it. Just because it talks about disco doesn't make the song itself disco despite the minimalist nature of the music. Honestly I think it's the closest the Eagles got to punk.

Anyway... You Belong To The City, easily, even if it isn't about a specific place.

------------------------------------

Tributes: My Man or James Dean?

[WalshFan88]

Austin, The Disco Strangler is NOT a disco song. It is railing against the lifestyle led by people who listened to that type of music. That is the whole point of it. Just because it talks about disco doesn't make the song itself disco despite the minimalist nature of the music. Honestly I think it's the closest the Eagles got to punk.


I was being sarcastic, FP - hence the tongue wagging icon. I just don't like the mention of Disco or the word.... I wouldn't quite call the song a punk song though, but it isn't disco.

[thelastresort]

Tributes: My Man or James Dean?

My Man - love the harmony on the chorus and the superbly-blending steel pedal. James Dean I always thought was a bit odd lyrically..

---------------------

Early 70s or LROOE How Long?

[DJ]

Early 70's, cuz I'm an early 70's kinda gal! :nahnah:



Bernie with his bushy hair or Bernie with no hair?

[sodascouts]

Bushy hair, no contest. Age takes its toll upon us all, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. ;)

========================

Songs with birds in the title: Nightingale or Earlybird?

[thelastresort]

Nightingale, probably the most underrated song from the eponymous album. Those damn bird noises in Earlybird annoy me.

--------------------

Take the Devil or Most of Us Are Sad?

[shunlvswx]

I'm going to say Take The Devil. For some reason I like that song.

************
Help Me Through the Night: Original version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99sBCTN-0ww or HFO version http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xr6vh_the-eagles-help-me-through-the-night_music

[sodascouts]

That's a hard one! I guess the HFO version, but it's close.

===================

HFO songs: Love Will Keep Us Alive or Get Over It?

[shunlvswx]

I was listening to Joe Walsh radio station on Pandora and HMTTN came on. O almost didn't recognize it. It took me a second to figure out it was HMTTN. I don't know if I ever heard the original version before, but I had to do the song as a this or that question. It kinda hard to figure out which version I prefer, but I love HFO version for some reason. I wish they put this back in the set.

Get Over It

****************
It Don't Matter to The Sun: Don's version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikfR_euM9Ls or Garth's version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yotDlFyCaso (I couldn't find just the song by itself. I found the whole special. The song comes on at the 18:02)

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Don's version of course

================================================== ======

Joe's live performances with the Eagles: Funk #49 or Life's Been Good

[The Disco Strangler]

Funk #49

=========

Don's solo work or Glenn's solo work?

[Freypower]

A question meant for me. Glenn's.

---------------------------------

The HFO or F1 version of Take It Easy? (My own preference is for F1; I find the HFo performance somewhat stiff & disappointing. They should have let loose after playing all those slow ballads & they just didn't). Idon't wish to influence whoever answers this but I thought I would throw it in because it's not something we have ever really talked about.

[thelastresort]

Farewell 1 version - something has always felt very distinctly uneasy and unnatural about most of HFO (I hate the stage set-up, and an orchestra: really?!). Whilst I'm not a fan of having no extended outro, I do love Glenn's enthusiasm introducing it, and IIRC he has a huge smile on his face as he plays the first chord.

-------------------

F1 performance - Boys of Summer or Dirty Laundry?

[shunlvswx]

Definitely Dirty Laundry. Who doesn't love it when the guys are jumping together and you can tell they were having fun.

***************
Inside Job singles: Goodbye To A River or Annabel

[Freypower]

I wasn't aware that either of those songs were released as singles. No videos were made for them. According to Wikipedia the singles from this album were Taking You Home, Everything Is Different Now, Workin' It & For My Wedding (no video was made for Workin' It either).

Anyway Goodbye To A River is one of my favourite Henley songs.

-------------------------------------
History of the US in a song: The Last Resort or Long Road Out Of Eden?

[thelastresort]

Long Road Out of Eden - musically better than TLR and the final verse is I believe one of the best they ever penned.

---------------------

Title tracks - Desperado or One of These Nights?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

One of These Nights - although neither is my favorite or even second favorites songs on their respective albums

========================

Lyin' Eyes or New Kid In Town

[thelastresort]

Agree re: favourites. I'll say NKIT - good balance of everything and the last half is divine. LE I think drags a bit.

....................

Victim of Love or Those Shoes?

[WalshFan88]

Those Shoes....I love VOL but Those Shoes is even more underrated I think. Great lyrics, and killer guitar. I had chills when I heard it live.

-------

Solo songs: Turn To Stone or Rocky Mountain Way?

[The Disco Strangler]

Rocky Mountain Way

================

The Heat is On or You Belong to the City

[sodascouts]

You Belong to the City

====================

Night and Day: One of These Nights or One Day at a Time?

[WalshFan88]

One Of These Nights for sure, but I do like ODAAT.

--------

Title Tracks: The Long Run or On The Border?

[DJ]

On The Border.....hands down

Rocky MountainWay or Pretty Maids ...

[DivineDon]

Pretty Maids...I love that song especially the HFO version


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Busy Being Fabulous or Business As Usual?

[sodascouts]

Busy Being Fabulous - very catchy!

"Sad" Songs: Most of Us Are Sad or The Sad Cafe?

[thelastresort]

I love both but will go with MOUAS - some beautiful lyrics and I adore the guitar solo

---------------

Songs pertaining to a mode of transport (I'm really scraping the barrel now :lol:): Midnight Flyer or Train Leaves Here This Morning?

[The Disco Strangler]

TLHTM
=====================
Mullet Timothy or One-Length Hair Timothy

[sodascouts]

One-Length, for sure!

-----------

dark-haired Don or gray-haired Don

[shunlvswx]

Definitely dark hair Don. Its just something about seeing Don with dark hair.

**********
Another duet question; Don: Barry Gibb(of the Bee Gees) or John Mellencamp

[WalshFan88]

Easy question - I hate the Bee Gees (all disco for that matter) and LOVE Mellencamp's music, so John Mellencamp for sure.

----

Guitar Intros: (the mystery of) Hotel California or (the jangle of) Take It Easy?

[thelastresort]

Easy question - I hate the Bee Gees (all disco for that matter) and LOVE Mellencamp's music, so John Mellencamp for sure.

----

Guitar Intros: (the mystery of) Hotel California or (the jangle of) Take It Easy?

Interesting when Henley did his Long Run intro in London, he mentioned the Bee Gees recording in Miami, someone laughed and he said 'Scoff all you want, but Mr Gibb wrote some of the best pop songs of the last half century'.

Anyway, Take It Easy, one of the best Eagles moments is when Glenn strums the first C (?) chord on that.

-----------

Doolin Dalton or Doolin Dalton Desperado Reprise?

[shunlvswx]

I know The Bee Gees will always be known as a disco group, but a lot of my favorite are not even that era. I love their music from the 60s, the 80s, 90s and 2000s before Maurice died. I would had love to hear Barry and Don sing together. Now these are two guys who's singing verse is very different from their talking voice and can do those great falsetto notes.

Doolin' Dalton/Desperado reprise. Its just something about that song I love especially when they repeat Desperado at the end.
**************
Glenn's songs with "love" in the title: True Love or The One You Love.

[Freypower]

I love the Bee Gees with a passion. The disco tag is grossly unfair & only refers to a brief period during the mid 70s (admittedly when they were selling a lot of records). A lot of people who only heard the music from this period never heard the rest of their huge body of work. However, I honestly think that Barry's voice would sound better with Glenn's. I refer to his 'natural' voice, not the overdone falsetto.

True Love or The One You Love is a difficult choice but I will go with True Love because the lyrics are more uplifting. There is something about the 'choice' the woman is being asked to make in TOYL which bothers me.

----------------------------

More Glenn:title tracks; Strange Weather or After Hours?

[Freypower]

I suppose I must answer this myself in order to prevent the thread dying. My preference is for After Hours. I will now provide a more Eagles oriented choice.

Desperado or Best Of My Love?

[thelastresort]

Best of My Love - love the harmonies and the lonesome steel pedal. Desperado, as good as it is, gets built up wayyyyy too much.

-------------------

Glenn vocal - Lyin' Eyes or New Kid in Town?

[shunlvswx]

New Kid In Town. Its just something about that song I love and Glenn hitting high note on around.

*****************
What Eagle song would you like to hear in the show: After the Thrill Is Gone or On The Border

[thelastresort]

ATTIG, the fact they've only ever performed it once is criminal.

-----------------------

Same question again, but with Outlaw Man or James Dean?

[UndertheWire]

Outlaw Man. I know it was a regular in 1973-1974 but when did they stop playing it? Just think what a rich set list it could be if they just went for the deeper cuts.

-------------------------------

Step in that time machine and go back to 1971 and that bar in Colorado or 31st July 1980 and Long Beach?

[shunlvswx]

This is hard one. Knowing in 1980, I was only 5 months old about to turn 6 months when they broke up. Then 1971 they were getting themselves together to form The Eagles. This is hard.

I'm going to say July 31, 1980 in Long Beach. I always wanted to see concerts in the 70s. A lot of my favorite singers and groups are from the 70s and I always wanted to go back in time and see those concerts.

************************
Great strong bass sound throughout a song: One Of These Nights or Hotel California

[The Disco Strangler]

OOTN (was just listening to that today)
==============================

Vocals: Timothy or Randy

[shunlvswx]

Timothy.

**************
Who would you like to teach you how to play the guitar: Joe or Don F.

[The Disco Strangler]

Aw, this is tough. I adore both. But I gotta go with Joe.

===========================================

Live or studio albums, which do you prefer?

[L101]

I like both types of albums - with the studio albums you get the perfection which is good for listening to all the time and with the live albums you get the spontaneity (sometimes :laugh:) and the love of the audience for a refreshing change but I have to go with the studio album!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don's eyes : http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b493/Lacken/dheye1_zps14cf157c.png OR Glenn's eyes :http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b493/Lacken/gfeyes_zps80fd4018.png (http://s1288.photobucket.com/user/Lacken/media/gfeyes_zps80fd4018.png.html)

[shunlvswx]

This is easy. Don's eyes of course. No contest to that. LOL
*************
Who would you like to sing at your wedding: Don or Glenn

[L101]

Don of course!! Though he can sing to me anytime not just at my wedding :laugh:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What song would you have him sing at your wedding:
For my wedding OR Taking you home

[sodascouts]

"Taking You Home" for sure. I'd rather hear "This love is like nothing I have ever known" than "What makes us any different from all the others who have tried and failed before us? Maybe nothing." Um. OK. Well then. lol

---------------

Songs co-written by Souther: Best of My Love or New Kid in Town?

[shunlvswx]

Now that's a beautiful song choice, Soda.

New Kid in Town. I love that song.

************
The End of the Innocence tracks: How Bad Do You Want It or If Dirt Were Dollars.

[Houston Debutante]

Neither of those are my faves but I like How Bad Do You Want It a little better.

~~~~~~

Don Henley's voice or Glenn Frey's voice?

[shunlvswx]

Well that's an easy choice for me. Don's voice, but some songs I do love Glenn's voice. But Don for me.

********************
Inside Job tracks: Damn It, Rose or Goodbye To A River

[Houston Debutante]

Goodbye To A River, no contest, the other one depresses me and Don's voice sounds kind of funny on it.

~

Saturday Night or Month Of Sundays?

[shunlvswx]

A Month of Sundays.

********
Funk 49 or Funk 50

[sodascouts]

Funk 49

==============

Songs of the moon: Lover's Moon vs Talking to the Moon

[L101]

Definately talking to the moon, its just so emotional!
---------------------------------------------------------
Songs with girls names :: Lilah or Annabel

[The Disco Strangler]

Annabel. I had to go with this because it's my aunt's name.

===============================

Rebels! - Desperado or Outlaw Man

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Wow - it's tough ... I have to go with Outlaw Man. Desperado is very beautiful and profound, but I love the youthful, raw energy that is Outlaw Man.

================================================== =====

Songs that remind you of Halloween - Witchy Woman or Somebody?

[shunlvswx]

Witchy Woman. I didn't know Somebody was about Halloween.

******************
Best use of a choir in a song: Everything Is Different Now Or Soul Searchin'

[Freypower]

Witchy Woman. I didn't know Somebody was about Halloween.

******************
Best use of a choir in a song: Everything Is Different Now Or Soul Searchin'

Somebody isn't 'about' Halloween (neither is Witchy Woman, for that matter). Some of the imagery may make people think of Halloween, such as the jack o'lantern moon & the crow in the graveyard. I don't celebrate Halloween but I can understand why the song reminds them of it.

I guess I have to answer this one now. Soul Searchin'.

-------------------------------

I will make this as basic as possible to ensure an answer. Take It Easy or Already Gone?

[thelastresort]

That's not easy to answer at all FP! ;)

Already Gone purely because I could listen to it more than I could TIE. It's very oddly empowering.

-----------------------

TBS vocal - LWKUA or Do Something?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well this is another hard one, but I think I've got to go with LWKUA.

===========================================

Life's Been Good - Eagles version or Joe's solo version

[The Disco Strangler]

Joe's version

==============

Glenn with or without a mustache

[shunlvswx]

Without for me. He's like Don. I want to see that beautiful face.

************
Joe with a mustache or without a mustache.

[The Disco Strangler]

Without. Joe should show off his cute face!

============

Eagles in concert. Which do you prefer? Indoors or outdoors?

[L101]

Indoors concert - the sound is so much better

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Best 80's song by Don:
Boys of Summer or Sunset Grill

[shunlvswx]

This is hard. I like both songs, but I'm gonna go with The Boys Of Summer. Sunset Grill just came on Pandora when I was about to type the answer. LOL

*************
Joe's songs on Eagles album: In The City or Pretty Maids All In A Row

[thelastresort]

Pretty Maids All in a Row - shows off Joe's more mellow side well and fits in with the whole HC album.

----------------------

Leadon lead vocal - My Man or Twenty One?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Love 'em both, but My Man is definitely my fav.

==================================================

Songs about Tinseltown: Hollywood Waltz or King of Hollywood

[L101]

I like them both but King of Hollywood is my fav - the drumbeat and the guitars just get into you!! :grin:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
City songs::
In the city or You belong to the city

[sodascouts]

You Belong to the City - love that song!

=================

New Year's Songs:

Funky New Year (Eagles) or New Year's Eve (Joe Walsh)

[Glennsallnighter]

Funky New Year

-----------------------

Miami Vice songs

Smugglers Blues or You Belong to the City?

[DJ]

Smugglers Blues for sure, I also like the video.

Glenn's hair long or short

[sodascouts]

Can I cheat a bit and answer short, but not super-short? I like Glenn's hair to be long enough to have body, have some waves. I don't like it when it's so short that it just looks spiky. On the other hand, that long 70s mane would look out of place on him. The only reason Tim can work it is because it's become part of his trademark style. Joe does a good job of puling off the longer hair, but with Glenn having abandoned it in 1979... well, you just can't go back after that.

Long answer, sorry!

======================

That brings me to Joe's hair.

Platinum blond or natural darker blond color?

[shunlvswx]

I like the platinum blonde. It doesn't look too overdone or fake that you can see his roots. Whoever dyes his hair does a great job because it doesn't look overdone. I was watching HOTE and I think the platinum blonde looks better on his hair long then short.

***************
Which long song from Long Road Out Of Eden would you listen to for 30 minutes on repeat: Long Road Out Of Eden or Waiting In the Weeds

[thelastresort]

I would struggle to listen to any song in the world for 30 mins but of those two I would have to say LROOE, it's got a bit more going for it.

-----------------

TBS staple - I Can't Tell You Why or Love Will Keep Us Alive?

[sodascouts]

Well, LROOE is so freaking long, you'd only have to listen to it three times to meet the 30 minute mark!

Love Will Keep Us Alive is my pick, tlr, although I think I must be the only person in the world who prefers it to ICTYW.

============

Non-album B-sides:
Get You in the Mood or Funky New Year?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Get You in the Mood

===============================

Early albums: Eagles or On the Border

[The Disco Strangler]

Eagles

================

Timothy solo - Tell Me the Truth or Playin' It Cool

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Tell Me the Truth

======================================

Songs about real people: Bitter Creek or My Man

[thelastresort]

I'm not sure how much of Bitter Creek is actually about the man himself (he was coincidentally shot by the brothers of a certain Rose of Cimarron) but I'll take that anyway, quite an odd tune but lovely guitar work and haunting lyrics.

-------------------

Glenn vocal - Lyin Eyes or New Kid in Town?

[The Disco Strangler]

Lyin' Eyes. Unfortunately, I'm one of those fans who doesn't care for NKIT

===================================

Eagles line-ups - Glenn, Don, Randy, Bernie, and Don F. or Glenn, Don, Randy, Joe, and Don F.

[sodascouts]

Glenn, Don, Randy, Joe, and Don F. I think by the time Felder came into the band, Bernie was already checking out.

------------------

Better new HFO song:

Get Over It or Love Will Keep Us Alive?

[WalshFan88]

Get Over It. I like LWKUA, but it's not my fave TBS song.

--------

On The Border Songs: James Dean or Good Day In Hell?

[thelastresort]

Good Day in Hell, the slide in that is absolutely delicious.

-------------

Take It Easy solo - Bernie or Joe?

[shunlvswx]

Joe's solo.

*****************
Since this is the 20th Anniversary of HFO.

Joe's ballad songs from the DVD: Help Me Through The Night or Pretty Maids All in A Row.

[WalshFan88]

Hmmm. I like both but I'm gonna have to go for Help Me Through The Night.

---

Bernie Studio Guitar Solo: Take It Easy or Peaceful Easy Feeling?

[thelastresort]

Peaceful Easy Feeling - he absolutely nails it and it fits so well into the song. It's to him what AG is to Glenn or OOTN to Felder.

----------------

Second half opener - Tequila Sunrise or Pretty Maids All in a Row?

[Glennsallnighter]

Pretty maids. I think to put TS there it would totally knock the show out of synch. Also when people are still returning from the bathroom or bar they would disturb it too much.

Instrumentals - I Dreamed There Was No War or Silent Spring

[thelastresort]

I was talking more in general but that's OK

It would have to be IDTWNW - it's absolutely beautiful and I would probably rank it as one of Glenn's finest hours in the Eagles. Shame it isn't longer!

------

James Gang song performed by the guys - Walk Away or Funk #49?

[Glennsallnighter]

I was talking more in general but that's OK

It would have to be IDTWNW - it's absolutely beautiful and I would probably rank it as one of Glenn's finest hours in the Eagles. Shame it isn't longer!

------

James Gang song performed by the guys - Walk Away or Funk #49?

Shame indeed. Shame too that it isn't given more exposure. It would be a perfect interlude between some of the acts in HOTE.

For your question I would go with Walk Away

Solo Performances on F1 Tour

Boys of Summer or You belong to the City

[Ive always been a dreamer]

First of all, I agree about IDTWNW - it is a beautiful piece of music. You could always do what I do, tlr - whenever I play it, I always hit repeat and play it through a second time. And for the life of me, I can't figure out why they don't play it in concert.

Now, as far as GA's question, it is almost impossible for me to choose between these songs. If I was choosing the song, I'd probably give a slight edge to The Boys of Summer. However, in Farewell I, You Belong To the City's placement in the set was the transition point where the show started really rocking and the song was incredible live. Therefore, it gets a slight edge live.

======================================

Now, I do another instrumental choice: Wasted Time Reprise or I Dreamed There Was No War

[Glennsallnighter]

Oh definitely 'I Dreamed There Was No War'. Again, its a totally under-utilised piece of music and could have had some position in the HOTE show. Hell, it even won a grammy!

'New' or 'Old' Witchy Woman ?

[thelastresort]

New - I really like the intro to the old one but the new one is a more listenable package for me.

---------------

Same question but with Heartache Tonight: old or new?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Definitely prefer both the original versions of Witchy Woman and Heartache Tonight

==================================

DVD performance: Hell Freezes Over or History of the Eagles Bonus Concert

[thelastresort]

Definitely the HOTE bonus one - not as extensive obviously but I love watching them at their zenith and how they did everything onstage (e.g. Glenn on piano for a lot of it and Joe on keyboards for NKIT) - HFO felt a bit awkward and wasn't a great setting.

------------------

Going off what I said above - Eagles with just themselves or Eagles with backing musicians?

[sodascouts]

Eagles with just themselves; kick it old school!

----------

Joe's songs off LROOE:

Guilty of the Crime or Last Good Time in Town

[Brooke]

Guilty of the Crime, most definitely! Much more fun and uptempo!

I like LGNIT, but the image of Joe working crosswords just doesn't do it for me! :lol:

Dvds-Hell Freezes Over or Farewell 1?

[thelastresort]

Farewell 1 for sure - better setlist and more natural environment for them. The renditions of Peaceful Easy Feeling, Boys of Summer and ASWTDID are some of my faourite Eagles performances ever.

Edit - I forgot to do one!

Album - Eagles or On the Border?

[OntheBorder74]

On The Border, it had the most glenn frey on it than any other Eagles album

Lyin Eyes or new kid in town

[DJ]

Eagles with just themselves; kick it old school!

----------

Joe's songs off LROOE:

Guilty of the Crime or Last Good Time in Town


Oh Soda, I love your Avatar of Glenn, sooo cute!

[DJ]

Lyin Eyes for sure.

One of These Nights Album Cover or On The Border

[sodascouts]

OOTN album cover. Very cool!

===================

"Tryin'" or "Keep on Tryin'"?

[Jonny Come Lately]

Nice thread!

It's got to be Tryin' for me. Keep On Tryin' is nice but Tryin' rocks and was a great choice to close the debut album - I also really like the extended 1973 Voorburg version.

Victim Of Love guitar solos: Felder's intro or Walsh's slide solo?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

That's a tough one - but if I gotta choose, I'll go with Joe's slide.

======================================

Which album? - On the Border or The Long Run

[thelastresort]

On the Border - the more I listen to it the more it becomes my favourite Eagles album.

-----------------------

Albums - Eagles or Desperado?

[WalshFan88]

Man, tough choice as neither are my cup of tea but I'll go Eagles, just because it was their first entry to the world and because of TIE, PEF, and WW.

-----

Songs: Please Come Home For Christmas or Funky New Year?

[Jonny Come Lately]

I prefer Please Come Christmas, I like how 'ungimmicky' it is compared to a lot of Christmas songs - it's just the band playing and singing and it avoids the musical clichés like children's choirs or sleigh bells that work great on some festive tunes but often produce insipid results. Not a great fan of Funky New Year but I'm more of a Christmas guy anyway, never cared much for New Year.

Vocal ad-libs from On The Border: 'All right, nighty-night' on Already Gone or 'Say goodnight Dick' on the title track?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well - no contest on this one for me ... I love the "alright, nighty-night line in Already Gone.

=========================

Henley's hair - 70's 'fro or HFO

[Witchy Woman]

Most definitely HFO Don. By far the hottest and sexiest era for him.

__________________________________________________ _________

Randy Meisner songs : Take It To The Limit or Try And Love Again ?

[sodascouts]

Take it to the Limit!

================

Henley Songs with Texas mentions: Talking to the Moon or Everything Is Different Now?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Easy one for me again - without a doubt it's Talking to the Moon.

==========================

Songs that place Joe at "the scene of the crime": Life's Been Good or One Day at a Time

[sodascouts]

One Day at a Time (I know I'm in the minority there!)

Versions of "Please Come Home for Christmas": the studio version or the live version found on the Selected Works box set from the Millennium Concert?

[Jonny Come Lately]

I prefer the original version, I prefer the minimalist rock band style of the original which I think differentiates it from the majority of Christmas tunes.

(Thought I'd better post in this thread before twelfth night to ensure I don't have to wait until next Christmas to contribute - I never listen to Christmas songs outside the festive season, including PCHFC!)

-----------------------------------------------------------

Early singles that weren't included on Greatest Hits Volume 1: Outlaw Man or James Dean

[DJ]

I prefer the original version, I prefer the minimalist rock band style of the original which I think differentiates it from the majority of Christmas tunes.

(Thought I'd better post in this thread before twelfth night to ensure I don't have to wait until next Christmas to contribute - I never listen to Christmas songs outside the festive season, including PCHFC!)

-----------------------------------------------------------

Early singles that weren't included on Greatest Hits Volume 1: Outlaw Man or James Dean

Outlaw Man for sure. It just gets ya rockin!

Band Pre or Post Don Felder............

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Gosh DJ - that's a hard one. I really can't choose, but since I prefer to live in the presence, I'll go ahead and say post-Felder.

================================

Joe's bands - James Gang or Barnstorm

[DJ]

James Gang

Timohty with Long or Short hair

[sodascouts]

Long hair .

-------------------------

Center of the Universe by the Eagles or Center of the Universe by Bernie Leadon?

[WalshFan88]

Eagles

-----------

In The City Warriors soundtrack version or In The City Eagles version?

[sodascouts]

Eagles version

==================

One Day at a time by the Eagles, or One day at a Time by Joe Walsh?

[WalshFan88]

Eagles for sure, I just love those harmonies

---

The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks or Teenage Jail?

[shunlvswx]

Teenage Jail. I love the shared vocals with this song even though it's a weird song.

*************
Joe's songs: The Confessor or Ordinary Average Guy.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I'm probably in the minority here, but I'll go with Ordinary Average Guy.

======================================

Don't Give Up - Timothy's song or Glenn's song

[TW]

oooh tough... i'm going to go with timothy but both are great
----------------------------------------
hotel california or the long run

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I'm not sure if you're talking about album or song, but either way, it's Hotel California for me.

=============================================

Joe solo songs: Turn to Stone or Help Me Thru the Night?

[Freypower]

Nice to see this thread revived.

Turn To Stone

-------------------------------

HFO or F1 versions of Hotel California?

[shunlvswx]

Definitely HFO Hotel California version.
------
Live album: Hell Freezes Over or Eagles Live

[AlreadyGone95]

If we're talking just the music (not the HFO dvd), Eagles Live.

-------------

Instrumental songs: Journey of the Sorcerer or I Dreamed There was no War?

[NOLA]

I Dreamed There Was No War

---------------------

Paul Carrack songs by Timothy: Love Will Keep Us Alive or I Don't Want to Hear Anymore?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Love Will Keep Us Alive

=====================================

Early Rockers: Outlaw Man or Good Day in Hell?

[AlreadyGone95]

Outlaw Man, it's my favorite Eagles song.

------------------

Album covers: Desperado or Hotel California?

[Freypower]

Hotel California

-------------------------------

Live versions (by the Eagles) of Henley songs: The Boys Of Summer or Dirty Laundry?

[DJ]

Boys of Summer- brings back many memories.

Joe Walsh's album version of Rocky Mtn Way or
Joe with the Eagles playing the same song?

[NOLA]

Any live version of RMW. Arguably Joe's signature song in concert.

------------------

Disillusion in CA: The Last Resort or The King of Hollywood?

[Freypower]

This is tough. The Last Resort is supposed to be the big 'important' song but King Of Hollywood is far superior musically & much more of a band performance & is my choice.

-------------------------------

Don duets: Leather & Lace or That Old Flame?

[AlreadyGone95]

Leather and Lace. I think that that song might be my favorite duet song.

-----------

Joe's LROOE songs: Guilty of the Crime or Last Good Time in Town?

[Jonny Come Lately]

Last Good Time In Town, I've always really liked it. I love the lyrics, the chorus and Joe's guitar playing, it's got a pretty decent groove too IMO. I do like GOTC though, it's a good fun rocker.

-------------------------

'Social commentary' songs from The End of The Innocence: Gimme What You Got or If Dirt Were Dollars?

[shunlvswx]

I like both songs, but I'm going to go with If Dirt Were Dollars.

-------
Duet songs from Don's Cass County album: When I Stop Dreaming with Dolly Parton or That Old Flame with Martina McBride.

[WalshFan88]

That Old Flame. Love the chordal rock stabs throughout too.

----

Those Shoes or Victim Of Love?

[AlreadyGone95]

I love both songs, but I prefer Those Shoes because of the talkboxes.

-------------

City songs: In the City, You Belong to the City, or Flip City?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

This is an easy one for me - You Belong to the City without a doubt.

==================================================

First or last studio album of the 70's: Eagles or The Long Run?

[Freypower]

The Long Run

-------------------------------

Summer songs (it's summer here): The Boys Of Summer or Long Hot Summer?

[AlreadyGone95]

Both are my 2nd favorite solo song by Don and Glenn, but I like Long Hot Summer better.

-------------

Eagles music videos: How Long or Busy Being Fabulous?

[shunlvswx]

Definitely How Long. I love them singing in a circle.
-------
Doolin' Dalton or Doolin' Dalton/Desperado reprise.

[shunlvswx]

I was reading this thread again and their was a question about who would we like to see Don sing with. It was between Bruce and David. I had picked David. Too bad that's not going to happen now.:weep:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

No, I guess not shun unless there is a recording of Don and David tucked away in a vault that will be released one day. Doubtful, but never say never.

And in answer to your question ...

I absolutely love both songs - they are perfect bookends for an album. However, my favorite has to be the reprise.

===================================

Great lyrics: "It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed ford" or "the doctor says he's coming, but you gotta pay him cash"?

[Brooke]

Well since Take It Easy is my favorite Eagles song it has to be it's a girl my lord in a flatbed ford!

How about soulfull songs: Desperado or Wasted Time?

[NOLA]

Wasted Time. Lyrical intensity highlighted by Don's emotion-packed vocals.

-----------------------

Songs of nostalgia : Saturday Night or Ol' 55?

[thelastresort]

I adore both but I'll say Saturday Night: I love the sentimental, nostalgic lyrics and the harmonies that deliver them. It's also the only Eagles song that has credits to all members of the band (at that time!).

---------

Bernie's Eagles leads: Train Leaves Here This Morning or Earlybird?

[Freypower]

I adore both but I'll say Saturday Night: I love the sentimental, nostalgic lyrics and the harmonies that deliver them. It's also the only Eagles song that has credits to all members of the band (at that time!).

---------

Bernie's Eagles leads: Train Leaves Here This Morning or Earlybird?

TLR! Welcome back!

I thought SN wa the ONLY Eagles song that had a writing credit for all members of the band?

To answer yours - Train Leaves Here This Morning which I had the privilege of seeing live nearly a year ago.

----------------------------------

Musical introductions: the chord at the start of Take It Easy or the bass line at the start of One Of These Nights?

[thelastresort]

TLR! Welcome back!

I thought SN wa the ONLY Eagles song that had a writing credit for all members of the band?

To answer yours - Train Leaves Here This Morning which I had the privilege of seeing live nearly a year ago.

----------------------------------

Musical introductions: the chord at the start of Take It Easy or the bass line at the start of One Of These Nights?

Thank you! :D

SN is indeed the only song with that accolade, sorry if I didn't word that clearly. Glenn mentioned it passively in the HOTE tour I believe.

As much as I've grown to love OOTN, it has to be the opening chords to Take It Easy, makes me smile every time I hear it.

-----------

TBS's concert staple - I Can't Tell You Why or Love Will Keep Us Alive?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I love 'em both but have to go with Take It Easy. I recognize the song the moment I hear that first chord and it always brings a big smile to my face.

ETA: I guess TLR and I were answering at the same time - funny how we both mentioned the smile. For his question, I'm going with I Can't Tell You Why.

===========================================

Favorite album: Desperado or Long Road Out of Eden?

[Jonny Come Lately]

Desperado - I really like every track and it's my second favourite Eagles album, as well as being one of my absolute favourites overall.

------------------------------------

New songs from Hell Freezes Over: The Girl From Yesterday or Learn To Be Still (I've paired these two as I think they seem to get less attention than GOI or LWKUA)

[sodascouts]

The Girl from Yesterday for sure!

=========================

Best "We're in love but miserable" song: Best of My Love or I Can't Tell You Why

[LuvTim]

I Can't Tell You Why
------------------------------------

Better Song With One-Word Title: Desperado or Somebody?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Since you stated "best" I'll have to go with Desperado, but I actually like the rockin' Somebody better.

================================================== ==

Compilation albums: Selected Works or Eagles: The Very Best of?

[AlreadyGone95]

The Very Best of. My mom bought for me years ago. It was one of the first cds I ever got. Plus, I love Hole in the World.

------------
Take it songs: Take It Easy or Take It to the Limit?

[bluefeather]

Take It Easy


Epic stories mainly written by Don: The Last Resort or Long Road Out of Eden

[thelastresort]

That's like asking someone to choose between their left arm and right arm. I have to say The Last Resort because it's the first Henley epic I fell in love with, but LROOE is a very close second. Both have equally superb lyrics.

-------------

Album opener: Take It Easy or Hotel California?

[NOLA]

Hotel California. From the first Eagles' album that I listened to in its entirety.

-----------------------

Ode to the gunslingers: Outlaw Man or Doolin-Dalton?

[shunlvswx]

Definitely Doolin' Dalton.
----------
On the Border tracks: On The Border or You Never Cry Like a Lover

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Would have to be On the Border for me.

=================================================

Band's appearance: Hotel California era or The Long Run era?

[AlreadyGone95]

While I love the drug heavy music of the 70s, the guys look more physically appealing to me cleaned up, so The Long Run appearance. That's how I first saw Glenn(the live poster). :heart:. I'm also not a huge fan of long hair on guys.

-------------

1982 solo releases: Glenn's No Fun Aloud or Don's I Can't Stand Still?

[Freypower]

No Fun Aloud, although I llike ICSS a lot.

--------------------------------

Glenn's 'girl' songs: Sexy Girl or Same Girl?

[NOLA]

Sexy Girl. Love Glenn's first solo album!

------------------------

"Gone" songs: Already Gone or After the Thrill Is Gone?

[AlreadyGone95]

NOLA, Sexy Girl is off The Allnighter album, which is Glenn's second album. No Fun Aloud is his first.

My username should answer your this or that: Already Gone ;).

-----------

1984 solo releases: Don's Building the Perfect Beast or Glenn's The Allnighter?

[NOLA]

NOLA, Sexy Girl is off The Allnighter album, which is Glenn's second album. No Fun Aloud is his first.

My bad! Got it confused with "That Girl" from NFA (knew there was a "girl" song on it). Merci! :)

[Ive always been a dreamer]

The Allnighter includes the stupendous Smuggler's Blues, but I'll have to go with Building the Perfect Beast. Even though I think it is a very uneven album, it does include the incomparable Boys of Summer, along with All She Wants To Do Is Dance, Not Enough Love in the World, and Sunset Grill. IMO, it's one of those albums where half the songs are REALLY good and the other half - um ... not so much.

========================================

Timothys' solo albums: Feed the Fire or Expando?

[Freypower]

Expando is a great album & I only know some of the songs on FTF, so Expando for me.

---------------------------------

Strange Weather tracks: the title track or River Of Dreams?

[AlreadyGone95]

I love both, but I like River of Dreams more. It's just such a beautiful song.

----------

2012 solo releases: Glenn's After Hours or Joe's Analog Man?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Although Glenn sings beautifully on After Hours, it's not my kind of music so I'm going with Analog Man, which I think is one of Joe's better solo efforts.

==============================================

Randy's On the Border tracks: Midnight Flyer or Is It True?

[Freypower]

Is It True, easily.

-------------------------------

Bernie's Desperado tracks: Twenty-One or Bitter Creek?

[DJ]

Twenty One- One of my very favorites

Glenn's After Hours Album The Shadow of your Smile or The Look of Love

[AlreadyGone95]

The Shadow of your Smile (FP, your signature is beautiful)

-------

I feel that this is appropriate now. Eagles' world songs: Hole in the World or It's Your World Now?

[NOLA]

Hole in the World. And, it's a big one. :(

------------------

Heartbroken: What Do I Do With My Heart or Heartache Tonight?

[Freypower]

Heartache Tonight. :heart:

Hard as this is, we may as well continue with it. I hate to do this, but songs about 'running out of time' (we had an entire topic on this).

Part Of Me, Part Of You or I've Got Mine (the line is also used in Strange Weather).

[shunlvswx]

I'm going to say I've Got Mine.
---------
Singles from the No Fun Aloud album: I Found Somebody or The One You Love

[AlreadyGone95]

The One You Love

----------

Glenn Frey music videos featuring his wives: Smuggler's Blues, with Janie Beggs or River of Dreams, with Cindy? (My heart goes out to Cindy)

[NOLA]

Smuggler's Blues (with apologies to Cindy)

-----------------------------------

"Sad" songs: The Sad Cafe or Most of Us Are Sad?

[shunlvswx]

Hate to say this one. Most of Us Are Sad :weep:
------
Tracks from After Hours: Here's to Life to After Hours.

[Freypower]

Here's To Life, which is my favourite track on the album, which I saw live, and which is now an epitaph of sorts.

----------------------------------

Glenn On The Border tracks: James Dean or Already Gone?

[Jonny Come Lately]

Already Gone - it's my favourite song from the album. Do love James Dean too though, the On The Border era was a strong one for Glenn with those two plus Ol' 55 and GDIH.

---------------------------------

Glenn's songs from LROOE: You Are Not Alone or It's Your World Now?

[LuvTim]

JCL, "Ol' 55"--that's the one that's been running through my mind all week.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I like them both, but I'm going with "It's Your World Now" this time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------



"Life's Been Good" or "No More Cloudy Days?"

[shunlvswx]

Life's Been Good
-----
Videos that Cindy is in: Living Right or River of Dreams.

[AlreadyGone95]

River of Dreams. It's just so beautiful.

--------------

Somebody songs: I Found Somebody or Somebody?

[shunlvswx]

Glenn and Cindy looked so cute in River of Dreams. Living Right will be memorable for Cindy since that's the first time she met Glenn.


I'm gonna go with Somebody. I love when he changes his voice in some parts of the song
--------
Songs that Glenn and Don shared lead on: Ol' 55 or After the Thrill Is Gone.

[AlreadyGone95]

Ol' 55.

-----------

Glenn "man" songs: Outlaw Man or Working Man?

[WitchyWoman92]

Ol' 55.

-----------

Glenn "man" songs: Outlaw Man or Working Man?

Outlaw Man

Eagles songs with the word "love": Best of my Love or Try to Love Again?

[OntheBorder74]

Outlaw Man

Eagles songs with the word "love": Best of my Love or Try to Love Again?

Try and Love Again

songs where Glenn and Don harmonise ;

Good Day in Hell or King of Hollywood?

[AlreadyGone95]

Good Day in Hell

------------

Glenn Frey After Hours music videos: Route 66 or The Shadow of your Smile?

[Freypower]

The Shadow Of Your Smile is for me the best video he ever (not has ever...) made & will be even more poignant from now on. Thank God I got to see him sing it.

-------------------------------

Cover versions: Ol '55 or Seven Bridges Road?

[AlreadyGone95]

Seven Bridges Road. Such beautiful harmonizing in that song.

------------


Train songs: Train Leaves Here This Morning or Train in the Distance?

[shunlvswx]

Train in the Distance. I've never been a fan of Train Leaves Her This Morning.
-------
Don's I'm tired of hearing or seeing crap songs: No, Thank You or Get Over It.

[Freypower]

I don't know No, Thank You well enough yet, although I like it. GOI is one my favourite Eagles songs so it has to be that. It should be noted that the lyrics were written by Don & Glenn, not just Don, although he sings it.

--------------------------------

Farewell songs: Best Of My Love or It's Your World Now?

[Jonny Come Lately]

I prefer Best Of My Love as a song, although I feel that It's Your World Now is more of a true 'farewell' than BOML.

----------------------------

Bernie's Desperado songs: Twenty One or Bitter Creek?

[NOLA]

Bitter Creek. One of my favorite songs from the Desperado LP.

----------------

Songs about life: Life in the Fast Lane or Life's Been Good?

[AlreadyGone95]

Life in the Fast Lane. It's one of the first Eagles songs that I can remember loving as a young kid.

-----------------

Glenn solo love songs: The One You Love or True Love?

[Jonny Come Lately]

I've decided to bump this thread, I thought it was about time to get this game going again. Hope no one minds!

I don't really know Glenn's solo works well enough to answer AG95's last question, although I would say The One You Love as I'm vaguely familiar with it whereas I don't really know True Love at all.

---------------------------------------------------------

LROOE singles: How Long or Busy Being Fabulous?

[Annoying Twit]

How Long. As they said, it sounds like a classic Eagles song. Busy Being Fabulous is not among my favourite songs on the album.

----------------------------------------
Glenn guitar solos: I Can't Tell You Why or Try And Love Again?

[travlnman2]

I Can't Tell You Why.

ERAS
Country Era 1971-1976 or Rock Era 1977-2016?

[UndertheWire]

I'd choose 1971-1976.

I disagree about it being "country" or "rock" though. I know Leadon is more "country" and Walsh more "rock", but I don't think there's such a big difference for the band as a whole and I would also say that "Witchy Woman" is more "rock" than "Pretty Maids All In a Row".

"Wasted Time" or "Desperado"?

[travlnman2]

BOTH.

Which Album has the best opening track Hotel California or Eagles with Take It Easy?

[Freypower]

My head says HC & my heart says TIE, but I will go with my head & say HC this once.

It is nice to see this revived.

Cass County tracks: Train In The Distance or Praying For Rain?

[Delilah]

Praying for Rain

-----------

Bernie's banjo work: Earlybird or Twenty-One?

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Twenty One

=========

And since it's comin' on the end of August, best line in Waiting in the Weeds:

"A small grey spider spinning in the dark in spite of all the times the web is torn apart."

or

"The flavor of the week is melting down your pretty summer dress; Baby, what a mess you're making."

[VillageGirl]

BOTH. Both sets of lyrics are so thoughtfully and beautifully written, I really can't choose.

------------------------------

Bernie's hair with the blond fro or bald Mr. Clean Bernie?

[Annoying Twit]

Coming from a poster who wishes he had as much hair as he did in previous decades, definitely the blond 'fro.

-------------------------------------------------------
Albums with 'Long' in the title: The Long Run or Long Road Out Of Eden?

[travlnman2]

They need to get Eden on Spotify so I can listen to it fully.
Long Run.

Afro Don or Long Hair 80s Don?

[shunlvswx]

Long Hair Don. I never was a fan of his afro.
------
Songs from On The Border: Ol' 55 or Is It True

[Jonny Come Lately]

Ol'55 - I love how Don and Glenn trade vocals and the great blend of piano and pedal steel, although I also like Is It True a lot.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Doolin-Dalton or the Doolin-Dalton/Desperado (Reprise)

[Annoying Twit]

The reprise doesn't sound quite right to me. I prefer the individual songs than the reprise.

-------------------------------------------------------
A capella "No More Walks in the Wood" or instrumental "The Journey of the Sorcerer"

[thelastresort]

I'll go for No More Walks in the Woods, despite the godawful 'and you for ill and I' line, which has always tainted it a bit for me. I appreciate it's not their work, but c'mon...

----------

Steel pedal work - My Man or Ol' 55? (I appreciate the latter wasn't performed by an Eagle.)

[Annoying Twit]

Even without revising the songs, I'm going to go for the steel pedal work performed by an Eagle!

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Don Felder: With beard, or without?

[shunlvswx]

Ok. I liked the beard on him in the 90s, but not the 70s for some reason. Maybe because I thought all the guys looked older with their facial hair compare to if they had it today. The HFO era was the guys hot era.

On that note. So I'm going to go with no beard.

--------
Timothy's tracks from Long Road Out of Eden: I Don't Want TO Hear Anymore or Do Something.

[LovinGlennGirl]

I Don't Want To Hear Anymore

Eagles Album Cover Art

One of These Nights or On The Border

[thelastresort]

I think probably their two best covers. I love the Navajo artwork of On the Border (I have a t-shirt of it :D) but I think the OOTN skull is probably the closest the band has to a logo, so I'll say that.

-------------

Same question again:

Desperado or Hotel California artwork?

[Jonny Come Lately]

If it's solely the front cover, then Hotel California, however if the whole artwork is taken into account then Desperado, because of the awesome back cover with the Eagles, Jackson and JD as the slain outlaws.

(NB. I don't usually like 'band photo' album covers, although Desperado is an exception because it illustrates the album's concept so well. I tend to only like thematic band photos, the more straightforward photos nearly always don't do it for as album covers)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

More album artwork: Eagles Live or Hell Freezes Over?

[Freypower]

Eagles Live. HFO is extremely disappointing for something of this magnitude. It's cheap & uninteresting.

*TLR, I am so glad I'm not the only one who hates the 'and you for ill & I' line. It is atrociously bad. Following it with 'am only a passer by' makes it even worse when it's supposedly talking about two people.

-----------------------------

Business As Usual or Frail Grasp On The Big Picture?

[Annoying Twit]

Frail Grasp. I really like that song.

------------------------------------------
Unpopular songs on TLR: The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks or The Disco Strangler

[thelastresort]

TGDWNF. The Disco Strangler is utterly bereft of anything positive whatsoever, other than the fact it ends.

----------

Joe vocals on LROOE: Guilty of the Crime or Last Good Time in Town?

[Delilah]

Last Good Time in Town-- I find Joe's vocals in Guilty of the Crime a bit subdued and I like LGTIT much better as a song anyway.

Glenn's solo live shows: Japan '86 or Dublin '92?

[WS82Classics]

Japan '86.

---------------------------------------------------------

Solo debut album artwork: Frey's "No Fun Aloud" or Henley's "I Can't Stand Still"?

[Annoying Twit]

Neither are classics, really. And both of them had much better covers later on. I think they may have been reacting to fame, as some ex-Beatles did with low key album covers soon after band breakup.

I think No Fun Aloud shades it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Glenn Frey inspirations on songwriting: Bob Seger, Jackson Browne, or
JD Souther. Which do you think is the most important influence?

[Freypower]

Is this really a this or that question? I guess people may disagree but I think Bob Seger had the biggest influence on him over a long period of time. It was Seger who showed him how to write songs & not to be afraid of bad efforts.

---------------------------

Witchy Woman: album arrangement or HOTE tour arrangement?
