Just what is that suppose to mean....EVEN ICTYW? :steviesmack:Quote:

Right now, I'm pretty much going on how do I feel about song X today, or at this very minute.
TLR, HT and ITC are all very different, but all very good.
Right now, I'm turn between TLR and HT. I was very sad to see Those Shoes gone... I'm not sure I can handle ITC being gone as well.
I know this has been brought up before too... when all things are equal, we take other things into consideration... so right now, do I consider the fact that Seger and Souther co-wrote HT? Then again, didn't Joe have a non Eagle co-writer for ITC?
UGH!
Any solid agruements for any of the remaining three? What makes one better than an another? I guess it just comes down to personal preference, eh?
I vote for In The City. Simply my least favourite (by a small margin) out of the remaining songs. It's very, very difficult to separate them, although I would love to see The Long Run stay in at least another round. As well as being the title track of this album, I think it's a really important song in Eagles history. The fact that they have stood the test of time, despite going through some tough periods (not least while this song and album was being recorded) makes me happy. The lyrics speak volumes.
I agree with Lou. While I will be upset if ITC Goes, I'd rather have TLR Stay. IMO
Great arguments here, ltlh. I totally agree with you on this. And when it comes down to separating these last 4 songs (including ICTYW, TBF), a song written by only the Eagles are going to be my top picks.Quote:

Troub, I like what you have to say about TLR! I didn't even consider the fact that they chose it as the albums title or the importance behind it. :thumbsup:
I base my decisions in this game purely on the music and lyrics of the song. I'd make myself crazy if I tried to base it on anything else. Now if you say that you like the songs equally and you need something else to base your decision on, then I guess I can understand taking other things into consideration. Fortunately I don't have that problem. I don't like any of them exactly the same. They are all on different levels.
hmmmm a tough decision this round...
I vote for The Long Run
See this is why what each of us think is "best" is so subjective. I totally disagree with PM here. For me it is almost the exact opposite. Where PM sees The Long Run as "a little mundane compared to the others", I would give that description to In the City. Now, I like the song and it does rock musically, especially live, but I don't think it is a standout. To me, it is repetitive, particularly the chorus, and the lyrics and melody are nothing more than average whereas, I love the music in The Long Run, and the lyrics, harmonies, and melody are exceptional. There is no way that song just trudges along for me.Quote:

My criteria for what I think is the best overall is based on the music, lyrics, melody, vocals, and harmonies. If all things are equal, I take into consideration who wrote the song or if it is a cover. This is what works for me, but, obviously, there are others that would totally disagree with my 'method'.
ETA: Forget to mention that I also consider the arrangements of songs when trying to determine what I think is 'best'.
I don't see what's Mundane about ITC. ITC To me, Describes the feeling I have for whatever City I'm in, if I am down or something. It's catchy, Rocks live, and has a great chorus.
Well EL - for me personally, any chorus that says nothing other than "In the city, oh oh; In the city, oh oh" honestly is not what I consider to be great. But, that's just me. As I said, it's mostly subjective.
Reluctantly, I have to vote for The Long Run this round...
I vote for In the City.
I've always liked In The City but I never fully appreciated it until I saw it performed live for the first time just a little over two years ago. I think it's a good song on the album but to see it performed live is in a completely different league. Joe totally rocks on this song and it was that live guitar solo that won me over. That being said, I really enjoy the song and put it in my top 5 out of all of Joe's songs but I have to vote for In The City during this round. With ICTYW being immune it's next on my list. ITC is in my top 3 for this game but i just can't vote for TLR or HT right now unless I'm voting for one of those two songs for the win.
My vote is for 'In the city'.
ME TOO!!! :thumbsup:Quote:

Anybody else wanna save ITC :shy:?
Ticky, where are ya when I need ya?
Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going out to dinner this evening, so I may be a little late posting this round's results. I'll get them up ASAP.
I'm going to go ahead and vote now since I won't be around at 8:00. It doesn't matter this time anyway because my vote is not going to change no matter what happens between now and then. Well PM - sorry but I can't be here for ya this time. I have to try to save The Long Run. Quite simply, when I put it through my 'test', it comes out as the better song in every category for me. So ...
I cast my vote for In the City.
In the City
The Long Run.
The tribe has spoken and the next song to be eliminated from The Long Run Survivor is “In the City”. Well, “In the City”, we’ll be looking for you somewhere out on that horizon, but when you’re down, that’s where you’ll stay. You must please leave the island immediately.

Well … we’re down to the last three – it is each song for itself now. There are no more immunity questions.
Voting for Round 8 begins now.
I vote off Heartache Tonight
Oh crud, I forgot to put my vote in this afternoon. I'm would NOT have voted for ITC... so I'm sorry to see it go. My vote would not have changed the outcome, so I guess it's not that big of a deal. If my vote had mattered...I would have been very angry at myself. (I'm sure PM would have been angry at me too)
Final three. All great songs. I need to give them all a listen once more to see which ones I would like to stay.
I love I Can't Tell You Why but I wanna see The Long Run and Heartache Tonight battle it out for the top spot. My vote is for I Can't Tell You Why.
I'm with Jess on this one - but i'd really love to see The Long Run Win................
so i'm voting for I Can't tell You Why
Well I know what I want to win too out of the 3 that are left. And as my daughter Timtot would abslolutely SLATE me for voting off ICTYW, I'll very reluctantly vote off 'The Long Run' this round! (sorry Lou!)
Never! I might joke around but I would never seriously get upset about a game. Plus I love ya too much, LTL.Quote:

Now, back to business. Hubby and I watched F1 Friday night and I paid particularly close attention to the remaining three songs.
ICTYW is a beautifully sung and arranged song. I absolutely love the guitar solo at the end. It deserves to stay this round.
Heartache Tonight rocks. I like songs that rock.
Maybe I was too harsh on TLR last round. I just wanted to make the differences in the songs clear. I haven't changed my mind though.
I vote for The Long Run.
It's too bad that ITC is voted off, but I can understand why it was. It's very catchy, but really simple. I hate to say that I agree with Dreamer regarding the frivolousness of the chorus.
I'm tenaciously voting for Heartache Tonight. It's a great song, I love it! But certainly not my favorite on the album.
I cast my vote for The Long Run.
No question for me here... I vote for the Long Run
No question for me either.
My vote is for I Can't Tell You Why.
I love the rockers too much! They are much more fun! :partytime:
ICTYW is lovely though. Be a shame if it left.
My vote goes to The Long Run.
I vote off The Long Run.
I vote for I Can't Tell You Why.
I suspect the last round is going to be an interesting one!
