Eagles Album Survivor

Time a new Survivor! This one is Eagles Album Survivor. If you're new, for a basic overview of the game, see this post: Survivor Overview

I'm going to list the albums of the Eagles here (except for the Greatest Hits packages). Vote for the album that you feel should be eliminated from the list. The album that gets the most votes will be taken off of the list (or, in the language of Survivor, "Voted off of the island.") Each round, one more album will get axed, until there's only one left. Remember: you're voting for your LEAST favorite, not your favorite.

Each round will last 48 hours after posting to give people a chance to vote who don't post every day. That means that the first round will end at 8:00 Eastern time the day after tomorrow. If you miss a round, don't think you can't play. It's all good!

Since there may be discussion posts, be sure to make it clear when you are casting your vote. Votes cannot be cast after the cut off time of 8:00 on the second day, and they cannot be changed once you have voted.

If you get confused about what round we are in, look at this post. I'll always update it to reflect the current round. Also feel free to post any questions if you don't understand what's going on.

If there is a tiebreaker, then ALL votes from ALL previous rounds are tallied and whoever has the most prior votes is eliminated. That’s the way it’s done on the real show, that’s the way it’s done here. If there is a complete tie with prior votes (Murphy’s Law), then I'll have a sudden-death trivia question ready. The first person who answers it correctly gets to break the tie. The odds of that happening are slim, but you never know, and it's good to be prepared.

The tie-breaker question will be asked one hour after results are in, if there is need for it. The exception is the last round. If the tie-breaker does not resolve the last round, then the tie will be allowed to stand.

For this Survivor, we also have immunity questions. We won't have immunity questions on the first or second-to-last-rounds, and of course we won't have them for the last round, lol. However, for the other rounds, we will.

Here's how immunity questions work. After the beginning of the round, I ask a question related to one of the Eagles albums. The first person who answers the question correctly gets to pick a remaining album to be immune - no one can vote for it on the next round. I'll allow two hours for someone to answer. If no one gets it right by then, then we continue the round as normal without any album being immune. You only get one guess per round, so be careful!


We have finished the game. Thanks for playing!

Hotel California

Game Over!

I'm gonna say Hell Freezes Over. It's a landmark album in that they'd gotten together again after so long, and it's great, but the new material isn't as strong as some other albums, and the rest is live rehash.

I cast my vote for Hell Freezes Over.

I love these games!

I agree with you Soda. I cast my vote for Hell Freezes Over.

Okay, I'll go along with Hell Freezes Over, though it is mostly a "live" Greatest Hits. As such, I think that it is the least original....though I did like the acoustic version of Hotel California.

Still, my vote definitely goes for HFO for the first round.

This is going to be so hard! Particularly as we get on to the later rounds

I will go for HFO as well

Tsk tsk tsk , *shaking head* cant do it.. I just cant do it... It doesnt matter too much since my vote in this game is usually the mark of death for whatever Im trying to save.. but in this case, I love HFO and I just cant let it go yet.


so, Im voting for Long Road out of Eden I love this collection, but among those to choose from here.. It is, in my opinion, the weakest.

LROE

I have to go with HFO as well.

Since most if not all of the songs are covered on other albumns I'll go HFO too.

I vote for Hell Freezes Over.

Frickin' strange---Larry and I had our own vinyl record get together last night, and he played Long Run and Live and I mentioned to him I thought it would be cool to have a survivor game on the board for the albums---AND HERE IT IS!!!! Soda and I are channeling each other or something! :hilarious:

I agree with whoever here said most of HFO was on other albums anyways and tho I love the dvd and the look of the guys, I will also vote for ...

Hell Freezes Over

I'm going to be hopelessly outvoted here, but I cannot possibly vote for HFO. The DVD is the reason I fell hopelessly in love with The Eagles (and particularly with Glenn :heart:) on 11 February 2007. And "The Girl From Yesterday" is one of my favourite Eagles songs.

Sorry, no can do.

I cast my vote for "Live".

I can't go with HFO either. I remember my hubby bringing it home for me when he was working at Borders, and I just marveled at the new songs, and the arrangements of the older ones. I didn't see the DVD til many years later, but I love that so much too...
So I will go with MF's choice and I'll vote for LIVE.

"Live"...."HFO"....to me these are both "just" Greatest Hits. Toss up to me. Unless the rules change..."Live" will be my next vote <LOL> Then we get down to serious decisions.

Ticky, We'll "unite" on LROE in the third round <evil grin>

I'm with Stars and Mrs F here. HFO does have some new songs on it and the guys are all so hot in the dvd that it will have to stay for me.

"Live" gets my vote first.

I also vote for Hell Freezes Over, although I adore the new version of Hotel California on that one.

"Hell Freezes Over"

..uumm...I guess I will have to go with HFO also...though I do love "Girl from yesterday" and "Hotel California"....oh and also "Get over it":worried:....this is difficult.......but yeah, HFO will have to be it........:-(

I couldn't see you doing that MF. I too love TGFY in particular! I'll run with 'Live' for this round as well.

While our boys were dead sexy during the HFO period, in the end, as Mike and others have said, it is basically a greatest hits album with a few new tunes and so my vote goes for Hell Freezes Over this round (sorry Rhonda :()

As i love both HFO and LROOE I'll have to vote for LIVE to be voted off this first round.

There are four new songs on HFO which are not on the other albums. The question is are they good enough for HFO to be considered a 'real' Eagles album? In my case I think Get Over It is one of the best Eagles songs of all time, while I am very fond of The Girl From Yesterday and Learn To Be Still. I like the acoustic version of Hotel California. However I believe the album as a whole was a missed opportunity (there were a couple of 'second night' outtakes which I think should have been included). For me it was either this or Eagles Live. I felt that more could have been done with HFO, both the album and the video/DVD, although I am not taking the DVD into account here.

HFO is as real as the next Eagles album.

I cast my vote for Live.

Perhaps 'real' was the wrong word, but with only four new songs and the rest re-recorded live versions, I personally cannot class it with Eagles, Desperado, On The Border, One Of These Nights, Hotel California, The Long Run and Long Road Out Of Eden.

I vote for Live.

This wasn't an easy decision at all however IMO - and even if I just consider this reason alone - HFO's 4 new songs are so good that I just couldn't vote this album off in good conscience (at least not yet, given its current opposition).

Like MF, HFO is the reason I got into the Eagles. And LWKUA was actually the first Eagles song I really got into. This is the reason I can't vote for HFO just yet. My vote on this first round goes for Live.

I cast my vote for Live.

Well - I doesn't appear as if my vote will have any effect on the outcome of this round, so I will vote for the future ...

I cast my vote for the Eagles LP.

The first album to leave the island in Eagles Albums Survivor is Hell Freezes Over. “Hell Freezes Over” you must feel like The Girl From Yesterday, but please leave the island immediately. The remaining albums may return to camp.

Yes, EL, that is correct.

Long Road Out of Eden is immune.
