Thanks Lisa for posting your favorites list. However, the way that we are compiling the results here is dependent on everyone ranking the songs from their favorite to least favorite. I didn't know if you wanted to post your list just out of interest here, or do you want to rank the songs so we can include them in our results?

I really empathize with everyone who is having a hard time with this. I don't want to overthink it, but at the same time I want my list to reflect my true feelings (for the sake of the songs, of course). I had a difficult time narrowing my list from 30 songs down to 20. But now that I'm done with that, I am still working on ranking them from favorite to least favorite. As I've said so many times, I love almost all of these songs and the difference in how much I like one over another is very miniscule in most cases. But, I'm hoping I'll be ready to post my list soon.

Although I'm not at all surprized, I am still always amazed at how much some of our opinions differ about these songs. Just goes to show that this band played something for just about everyone at some point. I guess that helps to explain their popularity and mass appeal.

Glennhoney - Just wanted to let you know that you have One of These Nights listed twice in your list (#6 & #13). Can you revise it so I can tally your list properly? Thanks.

Okay folks - I'm going to make an executive decision here and say that solo songs by the band members do not count here. I am defining a solo song as any song that was recorded and released on an album by one of the band members prior to being recorded and released by the band; examples are The Boys of Summer, New York Minute, You Belong To the City, Parachute, Life's Been Good, and One Day At a Time. There is enough original Eagles material to pick from, and this could get way out of control if we include solo material. So to keep things simple, anyone who wants their list tallied in the final results must have all songs that were originally released on an Eagles album (includes covers). Feel free to go back and edit your list if you have included solo songs. Thanks.
