Re: Celebration of "One of These Nights"!
I obviously love the big 3 songs on this album (though I don’t care for Lyin Eyes as much as most others), ATTIG is a great song as well. But I also really like TMH and Visions. I think those are two great rocking tracks. Hollywood waltz is a pleasant song. IWYP is pretty weak but I think it’s a touching song. JOTS is just too long in my opinion. Overall a great album

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ONE OF THESE NIGHTS!!!
Since we aren't going to do a Survivor game for One of These Nights at this time, I thought we could revive the exercise for listing your favorites off of this album as we recently did for Desperado.
I'll go ahead and repost the 'rules' here. If you want to post your list, I'll recalulate the results and post them at the end of our celebration week. For older members who already contributed, you can repost your list if you like, but I won't include them in the final compilation.
So here goes - 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. There are 9 songs on the album, so I’ll assign a point value of 9 points to the song that each person lists in 1st place, 8 points for the 2nd place song, and so on until the last place song gets 1 point as follows:
Song 1 – 9 points
Song 2 – 8 points
Song 3 – 7 points
Song 4 – 6 points
Song 5 – 5 points
Song 6 – 4 points
Song 7 – 3 points
Song 8 – 2 points
Song 9 – 1 point
For example, Person A puts the song ‘ABC’ in 3rd place so it gets 7 points; Person B puts ‘ABC’ in 5th place so it gets 5 points; and Person C puts ‘ABC’ in 6th place so it gets 4 points. So all total, the song ‘ABC’ gets 16 points. Then, Person A puts the song ‘XYZ’ in 1st place so it gets 9 points; Person B puts ‘XYZ’ in 4th place so it gets 6 points; and Person C puts ‘XYZ’ in 2nd place so it gets 8 points. So all total, the song ‘XYZ’ gets 23 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 One of These Nights' album are as follows:
One of These Nights
Too Many Hands
Hollywood Waltz
Journey of the Sorcerer
Lyin' Eyes
Take It To the Limit
Visions
After the Thrill Is Gone
I Wish You Peace
Now, list these songs in the order of your most favorite to least favorite.

Re: Celebration of "One of These Nights"!
For the people who don’t like visions, what about visions do you not like? Is it Felder’s vocal, the lyrics, or the music? I’m just wondering, I know it not well liked but I’m curious as to why.
Re: Celebration of "One of These Nights"!
Speaking for myself, I don't dislike Visions - in fact, I believe I like it better than many others on the board based on comments I've read. However, musically, vocally, and lyrically it doesn't measure up to most of the other songs on this album, IMO. I would rate it no better than an average song.
