It's a tough choice, but someone (all of us) has got to make it...
I vote off I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY.
This is really, really tough.
The Long Run is the title track of the album and, to me, an important lyric in encapsulating the journey of the band. It's got an upbeat sound, and I love Don's vocals. I get a kick out of watching him perform it live now. He gets really into it towards the end, and it makes me realise that it's actually a very soulful track.
Heartache Tonight is a song that you just have to turn up. Glenn's voice is perfect for it - smooth but rocky and bluesy. I love the slow drum/clapping sound at the beginning and the singalong feel. It's another awesome song to hear live, and when it gets to the "we can beat around the bushes" part, you can't help but rock along with it! It's pure Eagles.
I Can't Tell You Why is a stunning soul ballad. It has a gorgeous, moody feel to it and Tim's clear vocals are a perfect complement to his deep bassline. I love the lyrics, and I enjoy the extended instrumental period at the end of the song... It's sexy and tender and you can't help but drift away a little bit. Again, it shows you how much soul the Eagles actually have.
I am finding it very hard to separate these last three. Maybe one last listen will help!
As much as I love the last three songs, including the one I am voting for, it's just a no brainer for me on which one I need to vote for now. And if this one goes, the last 2 is a win win situation for me really. I won't care which way it goes after this round.
I vote for The Long Run.
PM, thank you for your understanding... I did not want to see ITC go either, but like you said, we can enjoy it when we want! :thumbsup:
Troub, I agree with pretty much everything you said about the final three. Two days ago, I was sure how I wanted the final three to go. (Even though a three-way tie would have worked too:)) However, last night, I gave them a final listen. To my surprise, I changed my mind. This round is easier than I thought!
I vote for The Long Run to go this round. You are a fantastically wonderful song, with much meaning behind you... you are not forgotten.
Alright, I guess I have to make a decision sometime! So... with regret, I vote for Heartache Tonight. I had a final listen to them earlier and, I don't know, my heart was telling me to vote this way. I think all the songs are equal in merit, but it just comes down to how I FEEL about them.
I vote for the Long Run.
As I always do, I have music going. Today it's the radio. This morning they played Heartache Tonight, now they are playing The Long Run and I just want to yell at the radio, "STOP IT---I've already voted you off!!!!" :hilarious: It really is a great song!
LOL, Willie! I know. I listened to the final three earlier, made my decision to vote off Heartache Tonight... then realised, ten minutes later, that I was singing HT to myself. Haven't been able to get it out of my head since. Talk about a guilt trip!
I vote for 'The long run'.
I guess I will go with Heartache Tonight, but I really like that song. dang:-(
Well this round is really hard for me, too. I love all of these songs and glad that they are the ones that remain standing in the final three. I wish this round could end in a tie between TLR and ICTYW, but that's not the way the game works, is it? :wink: So based solely on my general preference for uptempo songs over ballads ...
I cast my vote for I Can't Tell You Why.
I vote "I Can't Tell You Why."
The tribe has spoken and the next song to be eliminated from The Long Run Survivor is “The Long Run”. Well, “The Long Run”, you handled some resistance, but couldn’t go the distance. You just couldn’t make it in the long run, so please leave the island immediately. The remaining two songs can please come forward for the final round.

We’re at the last round. This round is special, so it’s done differently. We’re not going to vote for the song we want to go. We’re going to vote for the song we want to win. This is how they do it on the real show, after all.
Once again...
VOTE FOR THE SONG YOU WANT TO WIN.
Voting for the final round begins now.
I Can't Tell You Why for the win!
Heartache Tonight to win.
I'm so happy that ICTYW made it to the final. This says volumes about how important Timothy is to the Eagles. Journalists may misspell his name or not even mention him, but we fans know and love him and his contributions to the band.
That being said, I have to vote for the rocker, Heartache Tonight for the win. Troub already mentioned the drum/hand clap opening. Glenn's vocals are amazing, the harmonies are great and the overall energy of the song is contagious. As soon as you hear the opening riff you want to jump up and start moving. It's just a great song.
Heartache Tonight for the win.
I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY to win!!!
Heartache Tonight to win.
I Can't Tell You Why for the win
I'm sad to see The Long Run go and, although I didn't necessarily imagine I'd be voting for this song to win, it would be cool if it did. I have to be true to my last vote, so...
I vote for I Can't Tell You Why for the win.
I can't Tell You Why for the win!
Heartache Tonight
I vote for I Can't Tell You Why for the win.
I'm sad that The Long Run didn't make it to the final round :cry: but both HT and ICTYW are very much deserving of the top spot. I've been debating with myself over which I liked best out of TLR and HT but since TLR is out it's now an easy choice for me. I gotta go with the rocker :rockguitar:.
HEARTACHE TONIGHT for the win!!!!!!
Somebody's gotta vote this song
Before the night is through
ICTYW is gonna be undone,
There's nothin we can do!
Lotsa people need to vote for this
Even if it takes all night
Well I gonna go and take this chance
Hope it works out right
I'm gonna vote for 'Heartache Tonight' :rockguitar:

Definitely, its THE song on TLR for me

Very clever GA - I was trying to fit your post-chorus comment to the melody as well! :lol:
Well, I'm sorry to have missed the last round, but as my fave is still in the game it's no sweat.
As much as I love I Can't Tell You Why with its smoky vocals, great melodic interplay, and those slow, sensual guitar solos...
I cast my vote (to no one's surprise) for the awesomeness that is known as
HEARTACHE TONIGHT!
Because I am pressed for time, I'm going to copy and paste my description from the "Celebration of the Long Run" thread to explain why it should win:
Here we have the highlight of The Long Run which is right up there with the Eagles' best work. This song showed they could still pull it out. What's not to like about it? Glenn's vocal is off the chain - no wonder he won a freaking Grammy for it! The way he growls "Heartache Tonight" and belts out that chorus, the way he sings that "We can beat around the bushes" segment, even his whoops at the end.... they all exude vitality and energy; it's the way he sings the entire song. It's downright exciting to listen to it. It makes you wanna crank the volume up and rock out, singing along at the top of your lungs. The catchy guitar riffs, the way the guitar starts up, then backs off and sneaks back in as you move towards the chorus at which point it comes back full blast, the part where the music drops out and the vocals go acapella with just the beat, the use of the handclaps... everything about this song works. To this day it's a showstopper that brings the house down. To put it simply: Heartache Tonight ROCKS MY WORLD!!
No doubt about it for me. Timothy does a wonderful job with ICTYW, but my heart is with the rockers. All of the final three could be in the #1 spot.
I second all the good stuff everyone has said about Heartache Tonight. It's a wonderful, feel good song and Glenn does it soooooooo well! :drool:
I VOTE FOR :band: :guitar: :rockguitar:
HEARTACHE TONIGHT
FOR THE WIN! :thumbsup:
Wow, this was very creative!!Quote:

I only changed my mind two nights ago.
I love, love, love ICTYW. Those opening notes, the smokey sound, the smooth vocals, the bass line... so many wonderful things to say about this song. I only wish it had more lyrics. (I'm greedy that way)
However, that whole hand clapping, sing with me HT really gets you in the mood to party!
Both excellent choices... and I don't think my vote really matters at this point anyway... unless a six more people vote....
I cast my vote for the winner to be Heartache Tonight!
My vote goes to HEARTACHE TONIGHT for the win!!!
Although voting hasn't yet finished, I think I'm going to start :weep:, and I probably won't stop before Christmas.
Tim can rock with the best of them when he's given the chance. As those of us who've seen and heard 'Parachute' live will testify.
(Though I suppose most of you must love him in a way because he did make final two. :))
LOL, I thought the game ended tonight! Last round I was too late... this one, way early.
It's not over yet!
