Borderers' Favourite Eagles/Solo Songs

[TimothyBFan]

Before I start, I have to say one thing: WHAT IS UP WITH ALL THE 'I DON'T KNOW TIM'S SOLO SONGS'? Apparently I haven't done my job here! Geesh----I need to start a campaign to rectify that and soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry for the shouting!! I still love you all!!

Eagles-- Best Of My Love (it goes back and forth between TITTL, BOML and, since LROOE, WITW)

Timothy- Secular Praise (many of you here know how that hit me from the very first time I heard it at the solo concert in Chicago. I still remember the breakdown in the tanning bed shortly after the release, at a vulnerable time in my life. Even now, after hearing it a gazillion times, it can still take me right to my knees and send me into tears. I treasure the beautiful signature bar & cover for my FB acct that Lou made for me and the beautiful video Cathy made after my Mom passed away last summer of the song!)

Don-The Heart Of The Matter (This never changes)

Joe-Life's Been Good (Sentimental reasons from 30 years ago and a trip to Great America that that song was played over and over from)

Glenn- You Belong To The City (That horn kills me!!!!)

Sorry, TBF! In my defense, I didn't know many of Glenn's solo songs or Don's and Joe's newer solo songs until very recently. Heck, I just listened to Inside Job for the first time within the last month! I just haven't gotten to Timothy yet.

As a Timothy fan, where do you think I should start? What would you recommend?

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Don - The Heart Of The Matter (okay, this is going to cue everybody to our votes in Survivor!)
Glenn - You Belong To The City (closely followed by POMPOY)
Joe - Life's Been Good
Tim - to be advised (Expando is on order, & should be arriving any day now!)

Eagles - I have a 5-way tie too:
What Do I Do With My Heart, Waiting In The Weeds, Long Road Out of Eden, New Kid In Town, Sad Cafe

EK, I have to say, What Do I Do With My Heart is the song I listen to the most. When I made my list, I was in a concert frame of mind, and oddly enough, I don't feel the need to hear this song in concert. OOTN should be mandatory at all concerts, IMO.

I'll forgive you since you're willing to make an effort.

IMO---I think Expando is his best work!! It's all HIS!!! He really poured his heart and soul into this album and it shows. Here's my order of his albums.

1. Expando (Secular Praise, Parachute, Friday Night...)
2. Feed The Fire (Every Song Is You, The Shadow, Top Of The Stairs, Make You Feel My Love)
3. Tell Me The Truth (Something Sad, Down By The River, It Wasn't Just The Moonlight)
4. Timothy B. (A Better Day Is Coming, Boy's Night Out, Don't Give Up)
5. Playin' It Cool (So Much In Love, Tell Me What You Dream, Wrong Number)

Each one has a couple rockers on it but for the most part, as you would expect, it's pretty mellow listening. My advise is start with Expando since it's the most recent and easiest to get. His albums are pretty rare and last I've priced them, they are hard to get especially at a reasonable price. I'm proud to say I have them all on vinyl and cd and a couple on cassette.

Eagles - Take It to the Limit and Take the Devil
Glenn - Love in the 21st Century
Don - The End of the Innocence
Joe - A Life of Illusion
Timothy - Top of the Stairs
Randy - All of them although if I had to pick one it would be Hearts on Fire
Bernie - Backup Plan
Felder - Haywire

In regard to Timothy's solo stuff I'd like to add that Timothy's first album, Playin' It Cool, is available for download on Amazon and iTunes for about 9 dollars.

Ok, so, I was trying to narrow it down to one song for each of the guys, but then some of you are doing more than one each, so here goes:

Eagles-Take It Easy, my all time favorite since the very beginning. Hotel California would be next, then Waiting In The Weeds

Glenn-Part of Me, Part of You, 2nd-True Love

Don-Heart of the Matter, 2nd-The Boys of Summer

Joe-Life's Been Good-it's just so fun! Then Turn To Stone

Tim-Secular Praise and Friday Night

[zeldabjr]

I have one absolute and total favorite..no doubt..."I Can't Tell You Why"... after that maybe "New York Minute" for Don... after that no absolute faves.

[Shadowland07]

Eagles - One of These Nights

Glenn - You Belong to the City

Don - The Heart of the Matter

Joe - Help Me Thru the Night (A Life of Illusion is close though)

Tim - I dunno any...sorry
