Greatest Moments In Eagles History Border Poll - Round 2

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Okay – We are ready to begin Round 2 in our Border Poll of Greatest Moments in Eagles History. We are going to pick the order of the Top 10 moments. You may participate in this round even if you didn't participate in the first round. I was going to pick the top 10 winners from Round 1, but the votes were so close that I decided to include 12 moments in this round. However, you should only choose 10 out of the 12 events for your final list. As in Round 1 you should rank your list in descending order starting with the greatest moment first. This round will be open for one week. At end of this round, I will compile the results and we will have our ultimate Border list of Top 10 Greatest Moments in Eagles History. Here are the finalists from Round 1 ...

BTW The Eagles switched producers in 1974. Remember they recorded a couple songs from On the Border with Johns before making the switch.

And as for the conversation from the previous thread - my picks were definitely influenced by the positive connotation of the word "Greatest" which is why I didn't put the breakup or the Felder's firing in the first round, which to me are low points, not "Greatest Moments."
