Eagles Top 40 Songs - Border Poll

[Windeagle]

I just started this project by opening up Word, scanning through the albums and making a list of any song that I thought had even a shot at being in my Top 20. My list kicked over to a second page. Yikes, this is going to be hard.

[TimothyBFan]

After much deliberation, I have a list. Only took a couple hours. I tore up 2 list, then realized like the first 9-10 songs were always the same but a couple ordered slightly different. I guess it just depends on my mood. So this could be different tomorrow but about the same songs every time. And it's a bit different from when we did the desert island lists.

1. Take It To The Limit
2. The Best Of My Love
3. Waiting In The Weeds
4. I Can't Tell You Why
5. Already Gone
6. King Of Hollywood
7. One Of These Nights
8. New Kid In Town
9. Seven Bridges Road
10. Life In The Fast Lane
11. Take It Easy
12. Heartache Tonight
13. Get Over It
14. How Long
15. The Long Run
16. Peaceful Easy Feeling
17. Lyin' Eyes
18. Victim Of Love
19. After The Thrill Is Gone
20. Those Shoes

[Windeagle]

Ok, that wasn't as bad as I thought. The hard part was narrowing it to 20. After that, I just said, "Ok, if I had all these in front of me right now, which one would I play first? And next?" and so on. The list came right together. A couple little tweaks and it was done.

It pays not agonize over it, because like TBF said, it could be different tomorrow.

2. Already Gone
3. Doolin Dalton Desperado Reprise

That was really hard to decide. I kept taking songs out and putting songs in... I just love all their songs pretty much equally, but these are the ones I really love.

Did an initial list and managed to cut it down to 25. Guess I have more work to do.

I feel your pain! 25 down to 20 was the hardest part of the whole exercise!

[Glennsallnighter]

Great idea Dreamer and thanks for taking on this 'arduous task'! I would know say my top 5 or so but after that there are so many I like that paring the list down is going to be difficult. It will be interesting to see too what songs that are lesser known generally will make it into our Top 40!

[Freypower]

It's about time you be honest about NKIT, FP!!!! JK---I can almost guarantee it will make it into my top 20.

If I were to do a really honest top 20 of all songs, not just the Eagles, it would be radically different from what it has been for years.
