Got home from work, logged in and went Hey??? Seriously dig the Desperado theme on the board.

Thanks, Steve! We do this kind of thing for all the album anniversaries.

Happy Anniversary, Desperado!

I got the full album on my iPod only about half a year ago, since I hadn't actually heard every song... but it was a good buy, because it's an awesome album!

My age is showing...I just ordered the CD... I could have gotten it on my iPod and been listening to it right now...I always think CD first and not iPod...

Ha, Zelda, I was reading this thread and thinking about when I threw away the 8-track tape I had of it.

I almost choked on my dinner laughing so hard when I read this!

I go the CD route too! As soon as I saw that it was Desperado's anniversary I put the CD in the player right away to listen. I play it often. It's one of my faves!

HAPPY 39th ANNIVERSARY 'DESPERADO'!!!

This is my 2nd favorite Eagles album next to Hotel California. As has been said, not a weak track on the album, IMHO.

Okay, it's been several months since we've done this, so I'm going to recap how this works for those folks who may be new to this.

This isn’t exactly a game, but more like a poll with no other purpose than to be an exercise of fun. I’m going to list all the songs on the album and ask folks to rank them in the order that they like the songs from favorite to least favorite. I’ll give folks a week to post their list in this thread, and then I’ll calculate the results so you can see how close your list is to the combined results.

I’ll calculate the lists like this. If there are 10 songs on the album, I’ll assign a point value of 10 points to the song that each person lists in 1st place, 9 points for the 2nd place song, and so on until the last place song gets 1 point as follows:

Song 1 – 10 points
Song 2 – 9 points
Song 3 – 8 points
Song 4 – 7 points
Song 5 – 6 points
Song 6 – 5 points
Song 7 – 4 points
Song 8 – 3 points
Song 9 – 2 points
Song 10 – 1 point

For example, Person A puts the song ‘ABC’ in 3rd place so it gets 8 points; Person B puts ‘ABC’ in 5th place so it gets 6 points; and Person C puts ‘ABC’ in 6th place so it gets 5 points. So all total, the song ‘ABC’ gets 19 points. Then, Person A puts the song ‘XYZ’ in 1st place so it gets 10 points; Person B puts ‘XYZ’ in 4th place so it gets 7 points; and Person C puts ‘XYZ’ in 2nd place so it gets 9 points. So all total, the song ‘XYZ’ gets 26 points. Of course, if the album has 12 songs, then Song 1 receives 12 points.

After I calculate the combined scores from everyone’s list, I’ll post the list in the order of which songs had the highest points to the lowest. You will be able to see how close your list comes to the “master” list. If others post a list after a week, I’ll update it with their scores. So here we go – the songs for the Desperado album are as follows:

Doolin-Dalton
Twenty-One
Out of Control
Tequila Sunrise
Desperado
Certain Kind of Fool
Outlaw Man
Saturday Night
Bitter Creek
Doolin-Dalton/Desperado Reprise

Now, list these songs in the order of your most favorite to least favorite.
