Eagles Song Survivor: The Long Run

[TimothyBFan]

I know this will surprise all of you, but .......


I vote for I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY!!!

[Glennsallnighter]

Love your emoticons Willie!

[Glennsallnighter]

Nicely done, GA.

Thanks Peek!

And TF I think you're right! Closer than you might expect!

[sodascouts]

Very clever GA - I was trying to fit your post-chorus comment to the melody as well!

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!

I VOTE FOR

HEARTACHE TONIGHT

FOR THE WIN!

[eaglesvet]

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'
'Heartache Tonight' I know,
I'm gonna vote for 'Heartache Tonight'
'Heartache Tonight' ,
'Heartache Tonight'
I know, Lord I know,

Its brilliant, and IT ROCKS! In Dublin, Christchurch, Belfast, London, Melbourne, its fantastic to watch live. And I love Glenn s little 'Break My Heart' at the end. Also his 'Thank You Dublin'

Definitely, its THE song on TLR for me

Wow, this was very creative!!

I already knew my vote was gonna go to
Heartache Tonight!!!

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!

[Wildthyme]

My vote goes to HEARTACHE TONIGHT for the win!!!

Although voting hasn't yet finished, I think I'm going to start , 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. )

[luvthelighthouse]

LOL, I thought the game ended tonight! Last round I was too late... this one, way early.

It's not over yet!
