Greatest Hits Volume 2 ranked

[Delilah]

Since this is the anniversary of the release of this album, and it was done for Volume 1, why not do a ranking for this as well. This was the first Eagles album I ever owned.

1. New Kid in Town
2. Life in the Fast Lane
3. Victim of Love
4. Hotel California
5. I Can’t Tell You Why
6. After the Thrill is Gone
7. Heartache Tonight
8. Seven Bridges Road
9. The Sad Cafe
10. the little piano part at the end
11. The Long Run

Lol, jk about 10 over 11.
5 and 6 are actually tied for me and I only slightly prefer SBR over the Sad Cafe. Ok everyone what are your lists?

Why FP? B/c it was released after the band broke up?

Well, that, and it is the epitome of desperate marketing.

[YoungEaglesFan]

I'm not exactly confident with my list but here it is

1.) New Kid In Town
2.)Seven Bridges Road
3.) Hotel California
4.) The Long Run
5.) Life In The Fast Lane
6.) After The Thrill Is gone
7.) Heartache Tonight
8.) Sad Cafe

10.) I can't tell you why

I think from a musical and artistic level Hotel California is the best Eagles song but I absolutely adore New Kid In Town right now. I never loved HT and ICTYW. It's a different Eagles sound than i prefer. ( Still great songs). SBR is simply gorgeous to listen to. I wish we had a version with bernie and randy but this version will do just fine

Because I've loved SBR since the first time I heard it. It never fails to give me goosebumps. NKIT and HT are tied. I love Sugar's voice on NKIT and HT is such a good rocker -- especially live. ICTYW is a wonderful song. I love Tim's voice and he is note-perfect here. Just a great song. ATTIG gets a higher bump because of the lyrics and Glenn's vocals. If you've ever been in a situation where "Half the distance takes you twice as long. So you keep on dancing for the sake of the song..." this will resonate. I like "Fast Lane," especially since I know how it got its name. TLR is a solid, jazzy tune with good vocals from DH.
HC: yeah, the "great one" and so, so overplayed. It's a complete experience, and I'll always like it, but there are so many that are better -- to me.
Sad Cafe is good, but it takes a while to get where it's going.
VOL has such an ugly history that it kind of taints the whole song for me, but I also think "Those Shoes" covers the same essential territory, and in a much more interesting way.
So that's my take. :grooving:

1. The Long Run
2. After The Thrill Is Gone
3. Victim Of Love
4. Sad Cafe
5. Hotel California
6. Seven Bridges Road
7. Heartache Tonight
8. Life In The Fast Lane
9. New Kid In Town
10. I Can't Tell You Why

Tough choices. Would have never thought New Kid In Town would end up ninth.

[UndertheWire]

I Can't Tell You Why
Seven Bridges Road
After The Thrill Is Gone
New Kid In Town
Heartache Tonight
Sad Cafe
Life In The Fast Lane
The Long Run
Victim Of Love
Hotel California

An interesting exercise. The easiest part was choosing the bottom four although Life in the Fast Lane would come higher for a live performance.

Wow this is hard...I'll give it a shot.

1. Heartache Tonight
2. Hotel California
3. New Kid in Town
4. Life in the Fast Lane
5. The Long Run
6. After the Thrill is Gone
7. Victim of Love
8. Seven Bridges Road
9. The Sad Cafe
10. I Can't Tell You Why

[New Kid In Town]

Wow - No one has ranked HC number one. Also surprising that VOL is ranked last or close to last by most people. Very Interesting......

The Sad Cafe

UTW - Thanks - I was going to make a list for the overall ranking of the songs but you are one step ahead of me. :thumbsup:

NOTE : I don't know where to put this but Eagles Fastlane just posted a interview with Joe where he conforms they will do 40 -50 shows next year.

Thanks NKIT, Of course this comes as no surprise. I started a 2018 thread. Looks like Azoff is teaming Eagles with Jimmy Buffet for some shows in addition to the 40-50 concerts Joe Walsh confirmed.

Thanks Dawn - You came through again. Thanks for starting the post for me.
Interesting Irving is adding old pal Jimmy Buffet. I'm not surprised either and am sure they will all sell out.

I'm only doing this for ranking purposes, as I don't regard this album as legitimate, even if it is an official release.

It feels very much like a lot of these overseas releases.
